Real Estate Finds its Chain: Integra Announces $12B+ AuM Consortium
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, October 22nd, 2025, Chainwire
Integra, a real estate-focused, full-stack Layer 1 blockchain, has officially emerged, revealing that over $12 billion in managed real estate assets are already anchored to its ecosystem through a consortium of global partners across the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
Designed as the foundation layer for real estate, Integra aims to bring speed, transparency, and liquidity to a $400 trillion market that remains largely fragmented, illiquid, and offline, according to its official announcement on 21st October.
The Problem: The World’s Largest Asset Class Still Moves at 20th-Century Speed
Despite representing 75% of global wealth, real estate operates in silos. Transactions take months, valuations are opaque, and ownership data is trapped across registries and intermediaries.
While financial markets have evolved into high-frequency ecosystems, real estate continues to lag, creating inefficiencies in capital flow, asset discovery, and liquidity creation.
“Every industry has found its way to the internet. Real estate hasn’t,” said a founding member of Integra. “Geography, intermediaries, and paperwork still govern it. That’s what we’re solving.”
A New Foundation for Real Estate
Integra is purpose-built to transform real estate into a digitally native, programmable asset class.
Instead of retrofitting real-world assets onto general-purpose blockchains, Integra’s architecture has been designed around how property, capital, and compliance naturally interact in the real world.
Its chain structure aligns four essential layers:
Asset Operating System: a set of tools and standards synchronizing technical and operational complexity into a unified digital framework while providing a more inclusive, “web2” environment for end users.
Trust Layer: ensuring every asset carries verifiable documentation, attestation, and audit trails embedded into the chain’s native public utility.
Liquidity Layer: enabling cross-platform trading and settlement of real estate-backed tokens, compliant by design.
Stable: a novel native stablecoin to power real estate liquidity and capture inherent volume
This enables participants, ranging from developers and funds to banks and marketplaces, to build, tokenize, and exchange assets with the same ease as digital securities.
A Global Consortium Anchoring $12B+ in AUM and $500M in Flows
Integra’s ecosystem has quietly formed around a coalition of leading real estate, finance, and technology organizations that collectively manage over $12 billion in real estate assets. This would make Integra not just the largest real estate chain, but also the largest Real World Assets chain – larger than even Ethereum’s current RWA value. This consortium contributes verified asset flows, legal structuring, and digital infrastructure across multiple jurisdictions, ensuring that Integra launches not as an experiment, but as an institutional-grade network with real-world depth.
Moreover, as per Integra’s announcement, these assets, once tokenized on the chain, associated with underlying financial activities such as rent, dividends, purchase, and exits, of about $100M and $500M, respectively. Capturing this activity on-chain would create positive flywheel effects that could kickstart a meaningful economy. Every rental payment or exit would create new float and capital for reinvestment, attracting more asset managers and sellers.
Flows also create a larger surface area for fees for a blockchain, be it via gas or natively built applications. Stablecoins are also emerging as a new monetization strategy as we see players like Stripe and Phantom launch their own versions.
The Timing
Global real estate turnover is under 0.25% of its total value annually, compared to 1x in equities and 5x in crypto markets. If real estate reached even 5% of crypto’s efficiency, its annual tradable volume would exceed $100 trillion.
The convergence of tokenization standards, digital custody, and regulatory maturity has made it possible for that shift to begin. Integra stands positioned as the infrastructure layer enabling this transformation, bridging traditional asset managers with the new on-chain economy.
In the coming months, Integra plans to unveil its public testnet, early developer integrations, and first institutional tokenization pilots. The project’s long-term goal: to make property ownership, financing, and exchange as frictionless as trading any digital asset, globally, compliantly, and instantly.
