alt Lake City, UT – Dec. 31 2025 – HUMBL, Inc. (OTC: HMBL) today announced a corporate rebrand to TAP Real Estate Technologies, Inc. (“TAP Real Estate”), signaling a sharpened focus on real‑estate acquisition, ownership and blockchain‑enabled tokenization. The company will also seek regulatory approval to change its ticker symbol.

    The rebrand positions TAP Real Estate at the intersection of traditional property ownership and digital finance, integrating wallets, blockchain registries, smart contracts and tokenized investment infrastructure. An initial $500,000 capital raise will fund operations and early‑stage execution. TAP Real Estate is evaluating residential, commercial and hospitality assets for fractional or full ownership, and will offer select tokenization opportunities through its TAP Invest platform. Property assessments prioritize asset quality, cash‑flow durability, jurisdictional fit and long‑term value, with a focus on assets that can support blockchain‑tokenized capital inflows, interest‑bearing yields and digital ownership frameworks expected under forthcoming U.S. regulations in 2026.

    To support this strategy, TAP Real Estate has licensed TAP, Inc.’s proprietary TAP Platform from a private Utah tech firm. The licensing creates a public‑company model that combines TAP Real Estate’s asset holdings with TAP, Inc.’s patented, vertically integrated blockchain technology. TAP Real Estate will manage selected real‑estate assets while leveraging the licensed digital infrastructure to tokenize ownership interests, administer investor participation and ensure compliant issuance and lifecycle management. The goal is a repeatable, compliant framework for acquiring, structuring, tokenizing and administering real‑estate assets in U.S. capital markets, serving as an industry blueprint.

    Brian Foote, CEO of TAP, Inc., said, “The convergence of public markets, real estate and blockchain infrastructure marks a major structural shift as we approach 2026. Banks, broker‑dealers, operators and owners will increasingly adopt blockchain‑enabled payments, registries and tokenized ownership to unlock liquidity, lending pathways, transparency and operational efficiency.”

    The TAP Platform includes:

    * **TAP AI Analyzer** – evaluates real‑estate listings for portfolio inclusion.

    * **TAURUS AI‑Agent** – provides customer service and, in the future, automated payment handling.

    * **TAP Wallet** – serves as the investor’s identity layer, abstracting blockchain complexity while enforcing security, compliance, KYC, accreditation and jurisdictional rules. It holds tokenized interests, receives income distributions and supports voting or corporate actions.

    * **TAP Token Engine** – converts approved real‑estate structures (e.g., SPVs) into tokenized interests, setting supply, ownership caps, transfer restrictions and jurisdictional limits. It supports primary issuance, secondary transfers, redemptions, buybacks and corporate actions.

    * **TAP Smart Contracts** – encode and enforce token‑offering rules, automating distributions, governance and other real‑estate mechanics to reduce manual processing and improve auditability.

    * **TAP Invest** – an investment platform integrating stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, digital assets, precious metals and real‑world assets with major brokerages and exchanges (Public, E*TRADE, Fidelity, Coinbase, Gemini, Kraken, Binance, etc.).

    * **TAP Registry** – the platform’s asset “source of truth,” operating as a private, semi‑private and public registry. It records each real‑estate holding’s lifecycle events—structuring, approvals, liens, transfers, redemptions—anchored to public blockchains and permissioned infrastructure. Structured metadata, deeds, appraisals, inspections, insurance and compliance attestations are stored tamper‑evidently, separating public verification data from confidential details. The registry powers authentication, registry and transfer of tokenized interests and provides an auditable history for downstream partners such as title, mortgage, brokerage and marketplace platforms.

    TAP Real Estate and TAP, Inc. will also collaborate on Tokenized Asset Portfolios (“TAPs”), a next‑generation evolution beyond legacy REITs. These portfolios aim to modernize real‑estate capital formation, ownership and liquidity through blockchain‑enabled infrastructure, developed in partnership with title, mortgage and transactional industry stakeholders.

    The TAP Platform’s end‑to‑end lifecycle ensures regulatory compliance, operational integrity and investor transparency. Each asset undergoes a formal legal and compliance review, then is configured in the Token Engine with supply, investor permissions and economic parameters. Purpose‑built smart contracts enforce transaction logic at the protocol level. Investors are onboarded via TAP Invest, completing identity verification and eligibility checks before participation. Primary issuance delivers tokens directly to investor wallets. Post‑issuance, the platform manages distributions, governance actions and permitted transfers, providing a fully managed, auditable environment. Revenue will derive from management fees, listing fees, success fees on tokenized listings and the balance‑sheet value of vetted properties.

    Alfonso Arana Jr., Co‑Founder of TAP, Inc., noted, “Our innovation manifests in the TAP AI evaluation tools, which use machine learning to stress‑test property metrics, cash flow and more, creating repeatable, scalable models for tokenized investment listings and portfolio properties.”

    TAP’s intellectual property portfolio includes U.S. Patent 12,118,613, “System and Method for Transferring Currency Using Blockchain” (valid through 2041), covering stablecoin, digital asset and tokenized currency transfers between wallets and systems—applicable to escrow, payment and settlement workflows in real‑estate, title and mortgage transactions. Additional patents are pending in blockchain tokenization of assets, multi‑asset tokenized baskets and real‑world assets. TAP Real Estate monitors U.S. regulatory developments, including the CLARITY Act and GENIUS Act expected in 2026, aligning its strategy with the $300 trillion real‑world asset market, where real‑estate is a major tokenization target.

    Greg Hopkins, CEO of TAP Real Estate, said, “We see a rare convergence of regulatory clarity, patented technology readiness and industry demand. Our goal is to define real‑estate as a modern, tokenized asset class with improved access, liquidity and transparency for investors and issuers.”

    TAP Real Estate is building an Advisory Board of seasoned professionals across residential, commercial and hospitality sectors, especially in the Mountain West and Hawaii. The first appointment is Tyler Greene, former CEO and founding partner of Surface Development, with over 25 years of experience and $1 billion in real‑estate transactions. Greene, who has worked on projects in Hawaii, Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah, added his expertise to the board. “The U.S. real‑estate market is poised to move onto blockchain tokenization at scale in 2026,” Greene said. “I look forward to helping TAP Real Estate capture this convergence of regulation, technology and timing.”
