San Francisco, CA – October 08, 2026 – [KOREWIRE] 

  • Uphold provides a platform allowing investors to buy, sell and hold tokenized digital assets, backed by real estate
  • LiquidAcre opts for Uphold thanks to its experience in serving millions of users, compliance-first approach and rapid time to market

LiquidAcre, a financial technology company building a platform designed to expand access to real-world assets and digital financial services, has selected Uphold (the infrastructure provider for on-chain finance) to power trading, custody, KYC, among other services to fulfill part of the infrastructure for tokenized real estate.

LiquidAcre’s platform is designed to modernize how individuals access, understand, and manage real-world and digital assets. The first phase of the ecosystem introduces the LiquidAcre Wallet, a secure digital gateway designed to provide users with access to digital assets and financial tools through a simple, intuitive experience with user-friendly on and off ramping.

The second phase is expected to introduce the LiquidAcre Marketplace, where eligible users will be able to discover and participate in tokenized basic RWAs, and real estate opportunities. LiquidAcre is currently developing the legal, regulatory, and technology framework for this phase, with digital securities and tokenization services expected to be provided through appropriately regulated third-party alliances.

Wes Watkins, LiquidAcre’s CEO and Co-Founder, states “LiquidAcre’s vision is to bring real estate and land participation on-chain in a compliant, transparent, and user-friendly way. Real estate represents one of the world’s largest asset classes, yet access and liquidity remain significant challenges. We believe blockchain technology and regulated digital structures have the potential to create more efficient ways for people to participate in real-world assets. We are delighted to work with Uphold in building the financial infrastructure that supports that vision, and to benefit from their long experience in delivering licensed digital asset services to millions of users.”

Simon McLoughlin, Uphold CEO, commented: “Tokenized Real World Assets (RWAs) open up new ways for investors to trade a range of asset classes. It’s the rebuilding of financial markets on blockchain rails, with all the benefits that entails in terms of speed, convenience, transparency, access and consumer choice. We anticipate that all traditional asset classes will be tokenized in the next five years. And we’re thrilled to be at the forefront of that transition by supporting LiquidAcre in their drive to deliver more accessible tokenized real estate to the masses.” 

As the LiquidAcre ecosystem develops, the platform is also intended to create new opportunities for property developers and asset managers by supporting more efficient digital structures for offerings tied to property income, long-term development projects, and asset appreciation, subject to the applicable regulatory requirements and the involvement of appropriately regulated alliances.

Under the deal, Uphold will provide the platform which will allow investors to onboard, fund accounts, move money, trade digital assets, and hold tokenized digital assets. 

Uphold’s enterprise platform-as-a-service delivers a comprehensive set of processes and workflows – incorporating compliance and KYC measures – that will facilitate operations such as digital asset custody, fiat and stablecoin funding, settlement, and the ability to convert between traditional currencies and digital assets. Uphold’s enterprise customers can integrate these capabilities into their own branded digital environments, meaning that the end user enjoys the reassurance of managing their digital assets within a familiar interface and well known customer protection and asset reserves. 

Wes Watkins adds: “There were a number of impressive aspects to the Uphold proposition. Their proven ability to get the trading platform live in a matter of weeks, rather than years, was a key driver for us. And their laser focus on helping us fulfil compliance requirements was another big draw.” 

Digital securities associated with future LiquidAcre real estate offerings are expected to be issued and tokenized through a regulated broker dealer.
