Aquis-listed digital markets group targets real estate as first use case for regulated issuance and secondary trading.
Valereum PLC (AQSE:VLRM, FRA:6TJ) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Integra Foundation to collaborate on tokenisation of real-world assets, institutional distribution and secondary trading, with an initial focus on real estate.
Valereum, which is listed on the Aquis Stock Exchange, said the agreement set a framework to combine its ecosystem, including VLRM Markets, its licensed and regulated digital asset service provider in El Salvador, and the DigiShares platform, with Integra’s blockchain infrastructure.
Under the memorandum, the parties will explore issuing tokenised real estate assets via VLRM Markets using Integra’s blockchain, with Valereum saying at least one potential issuance was expected for deployment.
Valereum also said it would engage with institutional and professional participants within the Integra ecosystem as it seeks to broaden distribution for issuers and support allocations ahead of issuances going live.
The company said the memorandum supported its strategy to accelerate revenue generation from its regulated infrastructure for tokenised assets.
This includes expanding access to institutional and buy-side participants, accelerating issuance and strengthening multi-chain capability and interoperability.
Mark Mariampillai, commercial director of VLRM Markets, said: “This MOU with Integra supports Valereum’s strategy to scale regulated infrastructure for tokenised real-world assets.”
“By connecting with institutional participants active in RWAs, we believe we can boost issuance activity, broaden distribution and strengthen liquidity pathways, all of which underpin long-term revenues,” Mariampillai added.
Piyush Gupta, a core contributor of Integra Foundation, said: “This collaboration with Valereum reflects Integra’s mission to build institutional-grade infrastructure for real estate tokenisation.”
“By integrating with VLRM’s regulated issuance capabilities, we are strengthening the bridge between compliant primary issuance and scalable secondary markets,” Gupta added.
Valereum said it planned to use the collaboration to advance issuance activity and build secondary market liquidity for tokenised real estate assets.
In a separate announcement, the group said Matthew Farnum-Schneider has been appointed a non-executive director of the business, while Grant Gischen, previously a NED, moves to become an executive director with immediate effect.
