Built by practitioners.
Backed by a track record.
DeedRiver's founding team brings together the CTO of Asia's most successful hedge fund and an institutional finance executive with deep real estate and capital markets experience. The same fund strategy that beat the S&P for eight consecutive years is the foundation of every yield projection on this platform.
THE BUILD TEAM
HKUST MBA Alumni
Two operators who have run institutional capital at scale — one on the quant and systems side, one on the finance and compliance side. The combination is deliberate.
PARTNER ARCHITECTURE
Three categories. Sequenced by priority.
DeedRiver requires three distinct categories of partners to operate at launch and scale globally. No single institution covers all three functions — banking and custody, real estate conversion, and infrastructure. The sequence matters: Priority 1 partners must be contracted before the first homeowner is onboarded.
CATEGORY 1
Banking & Custody
Wyoming SPDI-chartered institutions providing legally perfected token custody and yield settlement infrastructure — the legal foundation for the pledge structure.

Role & Notes
Custodia Bank

Priority
Phase
Role & Notes
Propy
propy.com
Immediate
Title + deed recording + DeFi vault
On-chain title recording, crypto escrow, and automated closings. $100M title company expansion. Launching DeFi mortgage vault with Morpho Labs. One relationship replaces three vendors — co-development opportunity for the primary home product.
Roofstock onChain
roofstock.com
Phase 1
Investment property origination
Recognized SFR marketplace with blockchain property trading modules already live. Brings deal volume; DeedRiver brings yield amplification via the triple-stack model.
Lofty.ai
lofty.ai
Phase 1
Tokenized rental distribution
150+ tokenized properties in 40 markets. Actively seeking DeFi yield partnerships to reach 12–15% APR — exactly what DeedRiver delivers. Distribution without building origination from scratch.
RealT
realt.co
Phase 2
Investment property marketplace
970+ tokenized properties on Ethereum. Proven daily dividend distribution, secondary market, and $150M+ in tokenized real estate. Distribution channel and operational playbook reference.

$1B+ deployed each. Built the most sophisticated homeowner equity origination pipelines in the U.S. DeedRiver as their no-dilution product option for homeowners who won't sell equity.
Opendoor
opendoor.com
Phase 2
iBuyer homeowner referral funnel
Largest U.S. iBuyer in 50+ markets. The homeowner who gets an Opendoor offer but doesn't pull the trigger is DeedRiver's exact customer. Opendoor currently earns nothing from that person.
CATEGORY 3
Infrastructure & Data
Property valuation, compliance, token issuance, and title insurance — the operational backbone required before any homeowner is onboarded.
Partner
Priority
Phase
Role & Notes
CoreLogic
corelogic.com
Immediate
AVM property valuations
Industry standard for automated property valuation. DEED token values are pegged to AVM outputs — stale valuations directly impair the legal structure and homeowner trust. Non-negotiable before launch.
Chainalysis
chainalysis.com
Immediate
AML / BSA compliance monitoring
Industry standard for blockchain transaction monitoring. Used by DOJ, IRS, and most institutional platforms. FinCEN BSA compliance requires blockchain analytics. Real estate is high-risk AML — regulators will audit this.
Securitize
securitize.io
Phase 1
Token issuance + SEC-registered transfer agent
SEC-registered transfer agent used by BlackRock for its BUIDL tokenized fund. Compliance-native DEED token issuance with KYC/AML, transfer restrictions, and investor eligibility built into the token layer.
First American Title
firstam.com
Phase 2
National title insurance endorsement
Custom endorsement confirming the token layer does not create an impermissible lien or title defect. Covers the due-on-sale risk gap for mortgaged properties. Significant legal and marketing asset for national expansion.
PHASE 3+
Global Expansion
Local partners in each target jurisdiction providing banking, regulatory licensing, and distribution infrastructure for international market entry.
