HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / December 4, 2025 / PropTory, a compliance-first real estate tokenization platform, presented the pre-launch design of its upcoming PropTory Token Platform and announced a strategic partnership with COPX at the PropTory Real Estate Tokenization Forum 2025 held at the Hilton Houston Plaza / Medical Center in Houston, Texas. The full-day forum gathered leaders from real estate development, Web3, modular construction, taxation, and AI-driven property management to discuss how tokenized real-world assets (RWA) may help reshape global investment markets over the coming decade.
PropTory Token Platform: Built for Compliance, Transparency and Income-Producing Assets
During his keynote, Richard Chen, CEO of PropTory, introduced the planned architecture of the PropTory Token Platform, an end-to-end digital infrastructure being developed to bring income-producing real estate on-chain through familiar SPV and equity structures.
Planned capabilities include:
Compliant tokenization of real estate assets, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals and licenses
Automated investor onboarding with integrated KYC/AML workflows
Smart-contract-based governance and distributions, designed to enable more automated and transparent cash-flow handling
Real-time dashboards for operating performance, token activity, and financial reporting
Integration paths for boutique hotels, short-term rentals, modular housing, and other operating assets
"Real estate is the world's largest yet one of its least liquid asset classes," said Richard Chen. "Our job at PropTory is to identify and operate properties with solid tenants and stable income, then wrap them in clear, compliant structures. Tokenization is one of the technology layers we believe can help improve liquidity, broaden access for appropriate investors, and make the economics more transparent for all parties involved."
Partnership: Institutional-Grade Assets × Web3 Distribution
COPX, co-founded by Sean Geng, is a Web3 financial aggregation platform that has built a commission tokenization stack and token-economics capabilities, serving over 120,000 users worldwide and growing at a rapid pace. Speaking from the perspective of blockchain as an "immutable ledger," Geng noted that over the next decade, large-scale tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is likely to become a global trend, and that the tokenized products most likely to endure full market cycles will be those backed by tangible assets and recurring operating income rather than pure speculation.
This philosophy aligns closely with PropTory's positioning. PropTory focuses on sourcing, developing, and operating high-quality real estate assets with sustainable income and, through compliant structures and transparent disclosures, aims to present rental income and value-creation drivers clearly to investors. The company's guiding principle of "real assets, real operations, real returns" is aimed at driving practical, execution-focused RWA adoption instead of narrative-driven hype.
Under the new partnership, PropTory and COPX intend to explore potential models for connecting institutional-grade real estate with Web3-native users. PropTory will focus on the professional operation and tokenization design of the underlying real estate assets, while COPX will work to leverage its fast-growing global user base, commission tokenization infrastructure, and token design expertise to explore ways of introducing such structures to broader on-chain markets, in each case only where permitted by applicable law and to eligible users in relevant jurisdictions.
"Blockchain is, at its core, an immutable accounting system," said Sean Geng, Co-Founder of COPX. "But without underlying assets and operating income, it is just a better database. Working with PropTory allows us to work with our community of more than 120,000 registered users to explore potential access to tokenized products anchored in real-world properties, and to examine how blockchain and real estate can be connected."
"The PropTory × COPX collaboration is a very deliberate step for us," added Richard Chen. "We want to demonstrate that high-quality, professionally run real estate can live on-chain without losing the rigor of traditional underwriting and asset management. COPX brings exactly the kind of Web3 distribution and product-design expertise that complements our real-asset focus."
A Forum Focused on Execution, Not Hype
The Houston Real Estate Tokenization Forum featured keynote sessions on the current state of crypto and RWA, case studies on tokenized boutique hotels and income-producing properties, and panels covering regulation, tax planning, technology infrastructure, and modular construction, capped by an evening investor networking session themed "Night of Real Estate Token Innovation."
Speakers included PropTory leadership, COPX Co-Founder Sean Geng, and representatives from Windfall Group, Collab, GPI Investment, A-Strategy Management, Simple Fun Tax, and among others, offering a multi-angle view on how to bridge traditional real estate and on-chain capital.
"This forum was designed as a working session for builders, not a hype show," said Kelly Shen, President of PropTory. "In one room, we had developers, tax and legal advisors, infrastructure innovators, and Web3 teams all asking the same question: how do we make high-quality, income-producing real estate more accessible on-chain, without losing the risk discipline of traditional finance? The PropTory × COPX collaboration is one concrete step in exploring that direction."
"If Houston is the starting point, our focus is on the next decade," Kelly added. "Together with partners like COPX and the broader ecosystem, we want to help build a highway where solid real-world assets can move safely and efficiently across borders-subject, of course, to local regulations-so more people can share in the value they create."
