Polytrade Secures $6 Million to Boost Real Estate Tokenization Infrastructure

Polytrade, the leading real-world asset (RWA) marketplace, has successfully secured additional capital in a private funding round, bringing its total capital raised to $6 million. This new infusion of funds will support Polytrade’s strategic shift towards building a robust infrastructure for tokenized real estate and enhancing its focus on technology solutions. The round was backed by key industry players from the technology and real estate sectors, who bring not just capital, but also strategic alignment, network effects, and real-world volume to the platform’s evolving vision.

As the tokenization of real estate accelerates globally, Polytrade is positioning itself as the infrastructure backbone powering this shift. Already the largest aggregator marketplace for tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs), Polytrade lists over 7,000 assets from 70+ tokenization partners across 8+ chains, covering more than 95% of public RWAs. Backed and partnered with Mastercard, Polygon, Alpha Wave, and Matrix Partners, the platform offers a unified destination to access tokenized T-bills, credit, real estate, stocks, and luxury assets from leading protocols like Ondo, Centrifuge, Paxos, and more.

With a focus on deeply integrating real estate into the RWA ecosystem, Polytrade will use the newly raised capital to expand its product suite and develop technology rails specifically designed for banks, large institutions, and asset managers. The company will double down on two key focus areas: (1) Real estate tokenization infrastructure and (2) technology modules tailored for institutions, fintechs, and tokenization protocols. This strategic move follows the company’s earlier raises and marks a new phase aligned with major global players in traditional finance, real estate, and tokenization technology.

“After stablecoins and T-bills, we believe real estate will be the next breakout tokenized asset class, simply because of its sheer size and the scale of unlock blockchain enables,” said Piyush Gupta, Founder of Polytrade. “We’re building the infrastructure rails that allow both large and small players to plug in. From issuance and compliance to liquidity and lifecycle tooling, we’re focused on working with our large set of partners to deliver the full stack the industry needs to scale.”

Originally launched as an RWA trade finance protocol, the platform has since grown into a two-pronged offering: a comprehensive RWA Marketplace and an Institutional Technology suite. Both pillars are underpinned by Polytrade’s proprietary tokenization standard (ERC-6960) and built with the goal of making real-world assets more accessible, programmable, and institutionally viable. Unlike other verticals, blockchain technology acts as a step function for real estate, transforming how assets are issued, accessed, and traded. Today, the $400+ trillion global real estate market remains fragmented, burdened by time-consuming and manual processes, high entry barriers for small investors, and limited liquidity. Polytrade’s infrastructure aims to address these pain points head-on, offering programmable ownership, fractionalization, and cross-chain operability through its ERC-6960 standard.

What sets Polytrade apart in real estate is its focused effort to build trust into the ecosystem via asset provenance, audit trails, and compliance visibility. This approach lays the groundwork for enabling transparency for investors, regulators, and counterparties alike. With this raise, Polytrade will focus on expanding its technology rails to support the tokenization, distribution, and lifecycle management of real estate assets at scale. This includes building out smart contract libraries, institutional-grade APIs, KYC and compliance infrastructure, secondary liquidity rails, and deeper integrations with the traditional financial system. Polytrade will also focus on solving trust and transparency issues that have long been a bottleneck to the growth of RWAs, hindering adoption from regulators, traditional capital allocators, and the general public.

By building verifiable on-chain records, standardized asset metadata, and auditable compliance layers, Polytrade aims to create a new foundation of trust for tokenized assets. The team is currently in active discussions with leading real estate asset managers and funds across the US, Europe, and the UAE to onboard high-quality assets and co-develop standards for institutional-grade tokenization. Alongside real estate, Polytrade is witnessing increasing inbound interest for its modular technology stack from banks, fintech startups, and tokenization protocols. The platform’s ERC-6960 standard and marketplace engine are being integrated as solutions across geographies. Notably, Polytrade has also been working with Mastercard as part of its MTN (Multi-Token Network) and has been a member of their Start Path program.

Already trusted by global partners and institutions, Polytrade’s ecosystem has seen thousands of assets onboarded, from tokenized gold and treasuries to collectibles and real estate, paving the way for a unified marketplace experience and tailored tooling for institutional clients. Momentum around tokenization is accelerating across both traditional real estate markets and the broader financial sector. Regulatory bodies are already experimenting with blockchain-backed property systems. Major financial institutions and fintech players are actively onboarding solutions to expand into tokenization. This convergence of institutional readiness and regulatory exploration is creating a ripe opportunity for standardized tech rails, and Polytrade is poised to deliver on that demand.
