We announce the introduction of optional on-chain payment capabilities for select, pre-approved counterparties, paired with verified digital identity, positioning Prometheus Capital as the first in the Belgian REIT sector to implement blockchain-based payment infrastructure. This initiative represents innovation grounded firmly in traditional finance principles: enhanced AML/KYC identity verification, reduced transaction errors, faster reconciliation, and the same rigorous governance standards that underpin our European property portfolio.

The timing reflects accelerating momentum across mainstream finance. Luxembourg’s sovereign wealth fund has disclosed Bitcoin allocation via regulated ETF products, signaling policy-level acceptance of digital-asset infrastructure within the European Union. At the global asset-management level, BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust has become the firm’s most profitable ETF, approaching $100 billion in assets; a scale milestone achieved in under two years. Simultaneously, Fortune 500 payment leaders have bridged blockchain functionality with everyday finance: PayPal and Venmo enable transfers using human-readable addresses; Stripe has introduced stablecoin accounts for businesses across 100+ countries; and leading web domain providers have integrated conventional domains with Ethereum Name Service. This convergence demonstrates the technology’s maturation from speculation into operational utility.

What We’re Rolling Out

• Optional On-Chain Payments: Acceptance of permitted digital-asset payments for defined use cases, with conventional payment rails remaining fully operational. All counterparties undergo comprehensive verification, with blockchain analytics ensuring full traceability and compliance with European regulations regarding source of funds.
• Verified Identity: A Prometheus-controlled, human-readable on-chain identifier mapped to approved addresses and published on an official verification page.
• Enterprise-Grade Controls: Dual-authorization signing requirements, counterparty allow-lists, comprehensive audit trails, blockchain transaction monitoring, and reconciliation procedures aligned with European regulatory expectations.

Where This Helps

The infrastructure addresses specific operational needs:

• Enhanced Accuracy: Human-readable addressing eliminates manual entry errors for approved counterparties.
• Settlement Efficiency: Near-instantaneous settlement on permitted rails shortens reconciliation cycles.
• Identity Clarity: A single, verified on-chain identity reduces misdirection risk and prevents address spoofing.

Industry Context

From national reserve policy developments to the rapid institutionalization of regulated crypto ETFs and Fortune 500 payment integrations, digital-asset infrastructure is converging with traditional finance. Real estate has adopted these technologies more gradually. Prometheus Capital is advancing with pragmatic implementations that serve tenants, partners, and investors while maintaining institutional standards.

This positions us in line with major financial institutions already using similar technology: JPMorgan Chase processes over $2 billion daily through its blockchain platform for international payments; IBM builds blockchain systems for global supply chains; and Mastercard has enabled its 3.5 billion cardholders to access digital assets. These institutions view blockchain as a practical tool for moving money faster, reducing errors, and cutting costs. The same principles we apply to real estate operations.

“Real estate rewards clarity and trust above all else,” said Ronald Rozenbaum, Founder and CEO of Prometheus Capital. “By pairing our conservative ownership model with modern infrastructure, we simplify counterparty interactions while maintaining the governance standards that define our portfolio. As mainstream finance embraces these technologies, Prometheus Capital ensures we remain at the forefront of innovation in European real estate, prepared to serve the evolving needs of our investors and partners in an increasingly digital economy.”

Sustainability Commitment

As a B Corp-certified organization, we approach blockchain adoption with careful consideration of environmental impact. We are committed to utilizing energy-efficient blockchain networks and monitoring emerging layer-2 solutions that significantly reduce energy consumption. Any blockchain infrastructure will be evaluated against the same rigorous sustainability standards applied across our entire portfolio, ensuring alignment with our climate commitments and carbon-neutral objectives.

We will enable pilot workflows this quarter. For counterparty verification procedures and implementation details, interested parties should contact Investor Relations at our Brussels headquarters.
