Real Partners with Wiener Privatbank to Deliver Institutional-Grade Custody for Tokenized Assets

Vilnius, Lithuania — September 2025— Real, the Layer-1 blockchain purpose-built for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, today announced a strategic partnership withWiener Privatbank, a regulated Austrian financial institution. Under the partnership, Wiener Privatbank will act ascustodianfor tokenized assets issued on Real, providing independent verification and secure storage to ensure every on-chain token corresponds to a real, safeguarded asset.

This custodial role addresses one of the most pressing challenges in RWA tokenization: investor trust. By engaging a regulated bank with decades of expertise in asset management, Real strengthens the authenticity and security of tokenized assets, giving institutions and investors confidence that their digital holdings are fully backed by real-world collateral.

—Tokenization can only work at scale if the market has absolute confidence in the underlying assets,— saidValentin Dimitrov, COO of Real. —By working with Wiener Privatbank as custodian, we are eliminating the trust gap and creating the foundation for institutional adoption.—

Tokenization at an Inflection Point

The tokenization of real-world assets is rapidly gaining momentum worldwide:

• Theglobal debt marketreached$253 trillionin 2019, equivalent to322% of global GDP.
• Thefixed income market aloneis worth approximately$130 trillion.
• TheWorld Economic Forumestimates that up to$16 trillion of assetscould be tokenized by 2030.
• According torwa.xyz, tokenized treasuries on-chain exceeded$1.5 billion AUM by mid-2025, up more than fivefold since 2023.

These figures highlight both the enormous scale and the accelerating pace of adoption. Yet despite the growth, skepticism around the existence and safekeeping of tokenized assets has remained a barrier to mainstream acceptance. Real's partnership with Wiener Privatbank directly addresses this issue.

Institutional-Grade Tokenization Framework

Real's blockchain is designed to integrate institutions directly into the tokenization lifecycle. Its model includes:

• Business validators— tokenization companies, risk scorers, and insurers that secure the network via staking.
• Embedded risk metadata— every token carries insurance and scoring information.
• Disaster Recovery Fund— a built-in backstop that protects investors if an insurer defaults.
• Custodial oversight— Wiener Privatbank ensures all tokenized assets are verifiable and held securely.

This combination of decentralized infrastructure and institutional safeguards sets a new standard for transparency, resilience, and compliance in tokenization.

Roadmap for 2025

By the end of 2025, Real will tokenize itsfirst institutional assetsin collaboration with its core partners:Brickkenwill serve as tokenizer,Experianwill act as scorer,Barents Rewill provide insurance, andWiener Privatbankwill take the role of custodian. Together, they will demonstrate the complete institutional lifecycle of an on-chain asset — creation, risk evaluation, insurance, and independent custody.

—Tokenization is moving from narrative to infrastructure,— saidIvo Grigorov, CEO of Real. —This partnership proves that banks, insurers, and blockchain innovators can work together to deliver secure, regulated, and scalable digital asset markets.—
