RWA Signal Insight
InfrastructureTruGolf Holdings has finalized its acquisition of Polymath Research Inc., a Canadian firm recognized for developing the Polymesh Layer-1 blockchain specifically engineered for regulated assets. This strategic move integrates Polymath’s institutional tokenization infrastructure with TruGolf’s existing golf simulation and software business. As of December 31, 2025, Polymath reported over $132 million in issued tokenized assets across more than 65 active issuers and 50 ecosystem partners. The combined entity plans to launch tokenized equipment leasing and fractional franchise ownership programs by the first quarter of 2027.
