Integra has selected SettleMint as its Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform partner for real estate tokenization in the United States and the United Arab Emirates. The technology companies signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a framework combining blockchain-based asset management with regulatory compliance. Integra focuses on artificial intelligence and blockchain infrastructure for the real estate sector, while SettleMint provides a platform designed to help financial institutions develop and manage digital asset solutions across multiple blockchain networks. Real estate tokenization is gaining industry attention, with a Boston Consulting Group report published in May 2026 projecting that alternative asset tokenization, including real estate and private credit, could account for between 25% and 30% of all tokenized sectors by 2035.
Integra and SettleMint Sign MoU for Real Estate Tokenization Framework
Under the memorandum of understanding, projects entering the Integra ecosystem will gain access to SettleMint's technology platform, implementation expertise, and fiat-based licensing capabilities where required. The scope of these services will depend on the commercial and deployment requirements of individual projects. The partnership establishes a framework to integrate Integra's real estate ecosystem with SettleMint's Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform, enabling compliant and scalable real estate tokenization across the UAE and the United States.
The joint solution combines Integra's agentic AI technology with SettleMint's regulated digital asset infrastructure. Integra's AI capabilities are designed to support various real estate functions, including buying, selling, negotiating, and managing properties around the clock in an on-chain environment. The system is also built to interpret and interact with real estate security tokens. Integra has developed an AI-powered blockchain ecosystem aimed at modernizing the global real estate market, which is estimated to be worth approximately $400 trillion.
SettleMint Platform Provides Digital Asset Lifecycle Management
SettleMint provides a Digital Asset Lifecycle Platform designed to help financial institutions, market operators, and sovereign entities develop, launch, and manage digital asset solutions across multiple blockchain networks and asset categories. The platform is structured to deliver governance, security, compliance controls, and operational reliability suitable for regulated environments. SettleMint's infrastructure has been designed to support end-to-end digital asset management while accommodating the regulatory requirements of different jurisdictions.
The companies emphasized that real estate tokenization extends far beyond the creation of digital representations of property assets. As the market evolves, tokenized assets require sophisticated lifecycle management systems capable of handling permissions, compliance procedures, administrative functions, and market-specific regulatory requirements. The integrated solution combines AI-driven real estate management capabilities with enterprise-grade digital asset lifecycle management, providing support for issuance, compliance, administration, and multi-jurisdiction operations.
Company Leaders Address Real Estate Market Inefficiencies
Piyush Gupta, a Core Contributor at Integra, indicated that the company views the partnership as an important step toward accelerating compliant real estate tokenization in key markets. He suggested that integrating Integra's ecosystem with SettleMint's enterprise-grade infrastructure would create a comprehensive solution capable of addressing critical industry challenges, including liquidity constraints, transparency concerns, and operational inefficiencies.
Matthew Van Niekerk, President of SettleMint, noted that real estate remains the world's most valuable asset class, yet ownership records and property documentation often rely on outdated systems. He explained that many processes continue to depend on paper-based records and manual verification procedures, making transactions inefficient and limiting accessibility for a large portion of the population. He added that Integra's compliance-focused approach to bringing real estate assets on-chain aligned closely with SettleMint's vision for regulated digital asset infrastructure.
Both companies believe that compliant, multi-jurisdiction blockchain infrastructure will play a critical role in building trusted and scalable real-world asset markets, supporting adoption among developers, investors, asset holders, and regulators. The collaboration reflects a broader movement toward modernizing real estate markets through blockchain technology while ensuring that regulatory compliance remains a central component of digital asset innovation.
