Groma Announces First Onchain Real Estate IPO on Solana and Partnership with Forward Industries

To advance our goal of making it easier for everyone to own a bit of the world around them, Groma is proud to announce that we will be launching GromaCoin (GRO) on Solana for both accredited and non-accredited investors in Q1 2027. Forward Industries (FWDI), the largest Solana digital asset treasury company, will work with Groma to promote this offering and take a major GRO allocation as part of it.

Upon the approval of our Reg A+ offering, onchain investment in GRO will be unlocked for the general public, with up to $75M available within the first year of the launch. This means that, regardless of accreditation status, investors will be able to buy and sell GRO onchain in addition to using it to enable borrowing and lending via DeFi applications.

“The Solana ecosystem has seen incredible growth lately, especially for real world assets, and the depth of functionality that has been built on it adds huge value for issuers and investors”, said Groma founder and CEO Seth Priebatsch. “In our early conversations, including with Forward, we’ve seen tremendous enthusiasm for GromaCoin from platforms and investors, and we’re thrilled to bring GromaCoin to Solana to enable our next stage of growth and innovation.”

GRO is already the largest onchain real estate asset, with over $95M in tokenized value and nearly $50M in capital inflows in 2026 YTD. By making GRO available on Solana and expanding the available distribution channels and functionality for the token, Groma expects to accelerate this growth over the course of 2027 and cement GRO’s lead as the best way to own real estate onchain.

“Forward is excited both to take a major stake in GromaCoin’s Solana launch and to work with the Groma team to expand access to high-quality real estate onchain while creating a new dollar-denominated revenue stream for Forward”, said Forward Industries CIO Ryan Navi. “Groma’s launch of GRO is another piece of the rapidly growing tokenized RWA ecosystem on Solana. Our participation in GRO not only helps deliver our SOL++ vision by generating durable, uncorrelated revenue using our treasury but also is a commitment from our company to help develop the ecosystem of companies bringing real world assets onchain.”

As part of our expansion to Solana, Groma is excited to build on Kamino. We expect Kamino’s lending protocol to unlock value for GromaCoin holders, enabling them to borrow against their holdings for liquidity or further GromaCoin purchases. We are also enthusiastic about Kamino’s new asset listing features, which will enable investors to evaluate GromaCoin relative to other tokens and make appropriately informed decisions.
