Injective Tokenizes $1B in Mortgages as Pineapple Financial Scales Migration
Cryptobriefing.com reports that Toronto-based mortgage lender Pineapple Financial has migrated over $1 billion in residential mortgage records onto the Injective blockchain. The company, listed on the NYSE American under the ticker PAPL, has now recorded 2,079 on-chain mortgage records, up from 1,259 when the project launched in December 2025. This 65% increase in record count has pushed the dollar value of the PAPL0 asset to approximately $1.1 billion.
These records are digital representations of loan files containing over 500 data points, with existing legal frameworks remaining intact. Pineapple’s entry represents the single largest contribution to the tokenized real estate category on Injective. Across all chains, total tokenized real estate value sits at roughly $1.34 billion, meaning Pineapple accounts for the vast majority of this category’s value.
The broader tokenized real-world asset market has grown to approximately $38.8 billion, though real estate remains a small slice compared to tokenized treasuries. Pineapple plans to eventually migrate its entire historical portfolio of more than 29,000 mortgages valued at upwards of $10 billion. To support this relationship, Pineapple holds a treasury position of around $100 million in INJ tokens.
In August 2026, Injective secured SEC registration as a transfer agent, bolstering its credibility with financial institutions. The PAPL0 asset’s market cap appreciated by roughly 48% over the past nine months, signaling market confidence. However, the network’s RWA credentials currently rest heavily on this single issuer, creating a concentration risk if migration stalls or credit deteriorates.

Was that an ordinary day?
