WILMINGTON, Del. and SEOUL, Korea, March 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JP3E Holdings Inc. (OTC: JPTE), March 20, 2026, today announces its formal establishment of Demora Foundation (Delaware File No. 10551622) and the execution of a Share Exchange and Governance Agreement with Mammoth Labs Inc. (Republic of Korea) and Demora Foundation. JP3E acquired a 61% controlling interest in Demora Foundation and a 51% controlling interest in Mammoth Labs Inc. in exchange for 300,000,000 restricted JPTE shares, 100,000,000 of which comes from shares previously issued to Khan Gallery. The transaction establishes Demora Foundation as the institutional RWA (Real World Assets) and VWA (Virtual Wealth Assets) tokenization platform and on-chain settlement backbone for JP3E’s K2Global SMB 500 program and the broader Demora Chain ecosystem — targeting a $100 Trillion RWA total addressable market and a $5 Trillion+ VWA total addressable market by 2030, with an implied Demora Chain network value target of $10 Billion.

Strategic Purpose: to capture a significant portion of the $100T RWA, and the $5T+ VWA — by the Demora Foundation as the K2Global Tokenization Platform

Demora Foundation’s dual mandate—governing Demora Chain and operating as the institutional RWA and VWA tokenization platform—makes it the prime, instantaneous transaction consummation facility and the most efficacious financial architecture for both K2Global and the broader Demora Chain ecosystem. The Demora IR Deck 2026 defines the total addressable markets as: RWA TAM (Total Addressable Market) of $100 Trillion by 2030 (commodities, infrastructure, energy, real estate, manufacturing), and VWA TAM of $5 Trillion+ by 2030 (AI Economy $1.5T, Creator Economy $1.0T, Digital IP $800B, Gaming Assets $700B, Digital Startups $1.0T). Capturing just 0.0001 of the $100T RWA market generates $10B in tokenized assets, the basis for the implied Demora Chain network value target of $10 Billion—which is also JP3E Holdings Inc.’s modest equity valuation target for the ecosystem. On the K2Global side, Demora Foundation targets $2B+ in RWA/VWA on-chain market cap by 2028, converting the physical and virtual asset base of 500 Korean SMBs (Small and Medium Businesses) across three US Innovation Cities into institutional-grade on-chain instruments.
