Forum Markets, Inc.

Forum Markets, Incorporated is a financial technology company that develops infrastructure to support the creation, financing, and distribution of real-world assets (RWAs) through blockchain-enabled capital markets. During 2025 and early 2026, the company refined its business model to focus on building and operating platforms that originate and finance real-world financial assets for distribution through tokenized capital markets. This shift reflects a belief that long-term value in blockchain-enabled financial markets will come from operating businesses that create and structure income-generating assets, rather than from passive digital asset holdings. In early 2026, the company changed its name from ETHZilla Corporation to Forum Markets, Incorporated to reflect this strategy of modernizing capital markets through the tokenization of real-world assets. The company's strategy integrates traditional financial asset markets with blockchain infrastructure to tokenize income-generating real-world assets like consumer credit, equipment finance assets, and other contractual cash-flow streams. Tokenization is the process of representing ownership or economic rights in real-world assets using digital tokens on blockchain networks. Forum Markets uses blockchain infrastructure, including Ethereum and related Layer-2 scaling protocols, for the issuance, management, and potential secondary trading of these tokenized financial instruments. These systems aim to offer improved transparency, programmability of asset cash flows, and more efficient settlement compared to traditional financial market infrastructure. The company's strategy is to build an integrated platform connecting asset origination platforms, institutional financing sources, regulated digital asset infrastructure focused on cash flowing assets, and global growth-oriented capital markets. This approach allows financial assets to be originated, financed, and distributed through both conventional financial channels and emerging blockchain-based capital markets. The company also plans to leverage its relationships with Satschel, Inc., Karus, Inc., and Zippy, Inc.
