SettleMint had an incredible year in 2025, as tokenization went mainstream in the world of finance. Market acceptance and adoption of tokenization accelerated significantly, validating the core thesis that has guided our product development over the past decade: that tokenized assets would fundamentally reshape capital markets. Asset managers, banks, and fintech leaders have all embraced the promise of tokenization, announcing multi-million dollar commitments, partnerships, and projects. It is no surprise to us that Deutsche Bank recently projected that tokenized capital markets will become the default infrastructure for issuance and trading by the 2030s, marking a multi-trillion dollar opportunity ahead.
The depth of our technology and interoperability has positioned SettleMint as the leading digital asset lifecycle management solution. In 2025, we were able to demonstrate our capabilities as the tokenization partner for global financial institutions and sovereigns, most recently taking on the tokenization of the real estate industry in Saudi Arabia.
We also underwent a significant strategic transformation in 2025, with a renewed focus on our core strength: delivering real-world asset tokenization capabilities to regulated enterprises at production scale.
Our core technology provides the governance and orchestration layer between existing core financial systems and multiple blockchain networks, delivering the infrastructure required to build, deploy, and operate compliant digital asset solutions in production at scale and rapidly.
The depth of our technology stack and its embedded flexibility and interoperability enable more than tokenization of assets. Our newly launched Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform (DALP) delivers complete digital asset lifecycle management from issuance through corporate actions to redemption, enabling large, regulated institutions globally to design, launch, and manage tokenized asset ecosystems rapidly.
What differentiates SettleMint's approach is our focus on production-grade infrastructure rather than experimental solutions. Our platform has been battle-tested through live deployments at tier-1 financial institutions across three continents, processing real transactions, managing real assets, and meeting real regulatory requirements. This production experience has informed every aspect of DALP's design, from security architecture to compliance workflows to operational monitoring.
Our blockchain-agnostic architecture ensures institutions are not locked into a single protocol, while our integration capabilities allow seamless connectivity with existing core banking systems, custody providers, and market infrastructure. This combination of production validation, technological depth, and enterprise integration distinguishes SettleMint as the institutional-grade platform for organizations serious about deploying tokenization at scale.
2025 was also a strong commercial year for SettleMint, reflecting both the maturation of the tokenization market and our strong execution focus:
We have achieved a c.75% ARR growth in the last 10 months, driven by production deployments, demonstrating strong market demand for institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure.
We have signed and are delivering a transformational, national-scale, "global first": the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's launch of a national infrastructure for property tokenization and digital ownership transfer. The entire Kingdom's $1.6 trillion land and property market will be tokenized exclusively on our platform, gathering strong media attention.
2026 and beyond
We expect to deliver an exceptional 2026 given the strong traction we are seeing in the market, with our pipeline reflecting increasing demand for production-grade lifecycle management as institutions move beyond pilots.
The tokenization market has reached a clear inflection point, with regulated institutions moving from experimentation to execution at scale. The regulatory evolution is creating tailwinds for tokenization, and as adoption ramps up, the core thesis will be even more compelling.
With a decade of production experience, a proven enterprise-grade technology stack, and deep domain expertise in financial services and public-sector infrastructure, SettleMint is uniquely positioned as institutional adoption accelerates.
We have a strong pipeline heading into 2026: we are in active discussions regarding concrete asset tokenization opportunities with 25+ marquee institutions globally, including banks, asset managers, and sovereigns. We expect to announce several of these new partnerships in the coming months.
