Polytrade, a leading aggregator platform for tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs), has raised additional capital from a group of strategic investors, bringing its total funding to over $6 million. This new investment arrives as the company intensifies its focus on building scalable infrastructure for real estate tokenization, amid growing institutional demand for its modular tech stack.
The funding round attracted investors from both the real estate and Web3 sectors, ensuring not just capital support but also strong alignment with enterprise partners actively preparing to bring their assets on-chain.
Polytrade currently supports more than 7,000 tokenized assets through partnerships with over 70 organizations across 8+ blockchains. The platform offers users access to a broad spectrum of tokenized products—including T-bills, credit, real estate, equities, and luxury assets. Its backers include Mastercard, Polygon, Alpha Wave, and Matrix Partners, cementing its position as a key aggregation layer in the emerging RWA ecosystem.
Strategic Focus Areas
Looking ahead, Polytrade is concentrating on two primary growth tracks:
- Scalable tokenization infrastructure tailored for the real estate sector
- Customizable tech modules for institutions, fintech platforms, and tokenization protocols
“Real estate is emerging as the next major frontier for tokenization, following stablecoins and T-bills,” said Piyush Gupta, Founder of Polytrade. “Valued at over $400 trillion globally, the sector suffers from friction, illiquidity, and inaccessibility. Blockchain enables liquidity, programmability, and broader access — and we’re building across the stack to support both large institutions and smaller players.”
Initially launched as a trade finance protocol, Polytrade has since evolved into a dual offering:
- The RWA Marketplace, aggregating tokenized financial products
- The Institutional Technology Suite, enabling enterprise-grade tokenization tools
Both are powered by ERC-6960, Polytrade’s proprietary token standard designed to support composable and programmable real-world asset ownership.
Infrastructure to Unlock Institutional Participation
Polytrade is tackling key inefficiencies in the real estate sector such as fragmented ownership records, illiquidity, high entry barriers, and complex processes. Its infrastructure emphasizes trust, transparency, and compliance—critical elements for attracting institutional investors, regulators, and retail participants.
The newly raised funds will be used to expand infrastructure capabilities including:
- Smart contract libraries
- Institutional APIs
- Compliance and onboarding rails
- Liquidity tools for secondary markets
Polytrade is already engaging with real estate funds and asset managers across the UAE, US, and Europe to integrate its platform into traditional systems.
Expanding Use Beyond Real Estate
In addition to real estate, Polytrade’s ERC-6960 standard is gaining interest from banks, fintech companies, and other tokenization protocols. The company is working closely with Mastercard through the Multi-Token Network (MTN) and Start Path accelerator, co-developing solutions to meet evolving needs in digital finance.
