tokenization financial
"first real estate investment on its platform to be tokenized"
Tokenization is the process of converting real-world assets or rights into digital tokens stored on a computer network. This allows assets, such as property or investments, to be divided into smaller parts, making them easier to buy, sell, or transfer electronically. For investors, tokenization can increase access to a wider range of investments and make transactions faster and more efficient.
Managed Assets financial
"initial slate of approximately $100 million of Managed Assets"
Managed assets are the financial investments—such as stocks, bonds, cash, or real estate—that a professional firm or advisor oversees and makes decisions about on behalf of clients. They matter to investors because the amount and performance of these assets influence a manager’s revenue, reputation, and the client’s potential returns, much like the size and health of a garden reflect a gardener’s skill and likely harvest.
digital wallet technical
"would hold the Token in a digital wallet"
A digital wallet is a secure electronic tool that stores your payment information, such as credit card details and bank account numbers, allowing you to make transactions online or with your mobile device. It functions like a virtual wallet in your pocket, making it easier and faster to pay without carrying physical cards or cash. For investors, it represents a key component of modern financial technology that enables quick, contactless payments and digital financial management.
know-your-customer regulatory
"incorporates investor verification, know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering review"
A know-your-customer (KYC) process is the routine vetting that financial firms use to verify a client’s identity, check for fraud or illegal activity, and understand the customer’s background and risk profile. For investors it matters because KYC controls whether you can open accounts, trade freely, or face delays and restrictions—think of it like showing ID and answering basic questions before being allowed full access to financial services.
anti-money-laundering regulatory
"know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering review, sanctions screening"
Anti-money-laundering covers the rules, checks and systems used by banks, brokers and regulators to detect, stop and report attempts to hide or move proceeds from crime or to evade sanctions. Investors should care because robust controls protect market integrity, reduce risks of fines, frozen accounts and reputational damage, and affect a company’s costs and ability to do business — like a security checkpoint that helps keep the marketplace safe and reliable.

Caliber Goes Live with PURE Pickleball & Padel Tokenized Real Estate Investment Offering
First completed fund tokenization on the Caliber platform, part of an initial program of approximately $100 million of Managed Assets slated for tokenization
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz, Aug. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Caliber (Nasdaq: CWD), a real estate-focused alternative asset manager, today announced that it has gone live with its Caliber (Nasdaq: CWD), a real estate-focused alternative asset PURE Pickleball & Padel investment offering as the first real estate investment on its platform to be tokenized. The initiative creates a real-world, practical example of how blockchain-based ownership infrastructure can improve the private real estate investor experience.
“Tokenizing PURE Pickleball & Padel gives us a practical first use case where we can connect the technology to a real asset, a real investor experience and a real operating business. We are not changing what investors own. We are applying better technology to make private real estate ownership more transparent, more efficient and ultimately more functional. This is the first step in a tokenization program we expect to expand across additional offerings over time, beginning with an initial slate of approximately $100 million of Managed Assets,” said Chris Loeffler, Chief Executive Officer of Caliber. “Caliber brought together top-tier partners for this tokenization effort with Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) automating investor verification, KYC/AML, sanction screening, and transfer controls onchain.”
As of today, investors in PURE Pickleball & Padel can choose to receive a tokenized digital ownership certificate (the "Token") or opt for the existing method of a paper certificate. The investors who take the token would receive a digital representation of their investment interest and would hold the Token in a digital wallet. The underlying investment remains an interest in PURE Pickleball & Padel in Scottsdale, AZ, a real asset and operating business governed by the applicable offering documents.
Tokenizing this project broadens access for investors worldwide who are seeking exposure to Pickleball and Padel, the two fastest-growing sports in the United States and the Globe, respectively. Caliber believes tokenization also will allow it to automate valuation calculations to help investors have greater transparency to the value of their shares at any point in time. With that increased transparency, Caliber expects that the tokens may also experience improved liquidity as compared to a traditional private real estate fund investment.
A token creates a digital ownership record which improves visibility into ownership positions, automates portions of fund administration and compliance, strengthens investor communications and makes more broadly distributed investment interests easier to manage. The implementation incorporates investor verification, know-your-customer and anti-money-laundering review, sanctions screening, and transfer controls.
Caliber’s PURE Pickleball & Padel tokenization offering represents the first step in Caliber’s effort to build operating capability in tokenized private real estate funds and REITs, a logical and modern expansion of Caliber’s established real estate platform, not a pivot away from its core business. Caliber intends to continue expanding its tokenization efforts across the platform over time, beginning with an initial program of approximately $100 million of Managed Assets slated for tokenization.
