Forum Markets

Forum Markets will primarily own and operate cashflow-generating real assets and regards tokenization and fractional ownership as a downstream growth instrument. The company is expanding into aircraft engines, AI infrastructure, financing of modular homes and auto loans, and expects 2026 revenue of USD 18–22 million as well as assets under management of USD 100–175 million by year-end. Forum Markets targets positive cash flow from early 2027, plans to invest the remaining roughly USD 25 million in cash and emphasizes that regulatory clarity is crucial to scale the tokenization strategy. Management highlights operational cost discipline and views tokenization only after achieving stable earnings as a distribution channel with additional revenue potential. » More on de.investing.com

The acquisition represents roughly 15% of Forum Markets’ market capitalization; the company has high liquidity and a current ratio of 6.19. Forum Markets is also examining bundling the engines to create structured securities, potentially tokenized, and expects an annual total return in the double digits. » More on de.investing.com
