Houston, Texas, May 7, 2024 – RedSwan Markets LLC (“RedSwan Markets”), the wholly-owned affiliate of RedSwan CRE (“RedSwan”), a leader in tokenized commercial real estate, has received FINRA approval for SEC broker-dealer membership.
This FINRA approval marks a significant milestone for RedSwan and RedSwan Markets, allowing them to legally offer and sell digital securities of commercial real estate shares from the RedSwan digital marketplace platform. This marks a new era for tokenized real estate as a physically liquid asset class, allowing for future integration into treasury management solutions.

This announcement comes as RedSwan launches its latest institutional Core+ offerings, including an unlevered GCC Growth Fund I for global investors.

We can now expand our reach to a broader range of institutions, family offices, broker-dealers, RIAs, and money managers by offering digital asset securities as an alternative to traditional illiquid products.
