5IR Funds Leads $10M Round in GreatX to Unlock Real Estate Yield Through DeFi
At the intersection of real-world assets, behavioral finance, and stablecoin infrastructure, GreatX introduces a programmable liquidity layer for the $12.3 trillion of income-producing real estate currently trapped in long-term, illiquid structures.
Rather than tokenizing real estate titles, GreatX mints U.S. Treasury–backed tokens that can be optionally assigned to revenue-generating hotel properties—activating yield from both cashflow and appreciation, all while preserving principal. The result: a secure, composable asset that behaves like a stablecoin but performs like a portfolio.
'We believe GreatX represents the next evolution in RWA tokenization: asset-backed, behaviorally designed, and DeFi-native from inception,' said David Carstens, Founder and General Partner at 5IR Funds. 'In a world awash with speculative real estate plays, GreatX delivers something that actually works—for both yield seekers and protocol composability. This is the kind of real-world capital stack DeFi has been waiting for.'
Backed by the Patel Family Office, a 3rd-generation real estate investment and management firm based in Dallas with deep experience in owning and managing hotels globally , GreatX is launching with institutional-grade hospitality assets in the U.S. and a 10,000+ investor pipeline spanning North America, the Middle East, and Asia.
'Our goal was never just tokenization—it was transformation,' said Kim Diamond, Co-Founder of GreatX and former Managing Director at Standard & Poor's. 'We've spent our careers building real-world portfolios. With GreatX, we've architected a product that speaks the native language of DeFi, but brings the full weight of institutional real estate discipline.'
The raise will accelerate GreatX's platform rollout, regulatory pathways, and token issuance. The protocol is set to launch its first tranche of asset-linked, assignable tokens by Q4 2025.
Why It Matters
• $380T Global Real Estate is the world's largest store of wealth—and its least liquid
• $205B Stablecoins represent programmable capital with no native yield mechanism
• GreatX bridges both: U.S. Treasuries + Real Estate Cashflow = Capital-Protected RWA Yield

The company's beer margins were hit by President Donald Trump's 25% tariff on imported aluminum cans — a key packaging material for its Mexican-made beers such as Modelo and Corona.

Biggest US Banks Boost Payouts After Lighter Fed Stress Test

JPMorgan Chase & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Bank of America Corp. were among firms that raised quarterly payouts after the Fed's annual review last week showed that all 22 banks examined would maintain enough capital to withstand a hypothetical economic downturn.
