GOPAID.COM, Capital R3alm and Vystar’s Partnership
Partnership Vision and Platform Development
Through the collaboration between Vystar, GoPaid, and Capital R3alm, the parties aim to redefine community finance by merging institutional-grade physical memorabilia with advanced Web3 infrastructure.
- GoPaid, led by the Rotman family, contributes more than a decade of experience in merchandise creation, VIP ticketing, and curated fan experiences for over 100 global music acts, supplying premium collectibles across music, sports, and non-sports categories.
- Vystar Corp. brings its diversified operating portfolio, including RxAir™ air purification systems and Vytex® natural rubber latex, along with public-company governance and capital markets experience.
- Capital R3alm, an Ohio-based C-Corporation operating as a regulated private investment company, provides a unified Web3 ecosystem for tokenization, trading, governance, analytics, and alerts.
Capital R3alm operates as a decentralized “digital kingdom,” integrating multiple subsidiaries and platforms to empower investors with ownership over their data, assets, and wealth in the Web3 era.
Platform Initiatives
The partnership will focus on three core initiatives:
Tokenization of Memorabilia
Iconic collectibles—such as Sports and Non-Sport Collectables, Music Memorabilia, Movie Posters and other collectables—are expected to be converted into fractional digital tokens, expanding global access and liquidity. Tokenization has the potential to unlock trillions in previously illiquid assets by transforming ownership and market access.
R3alm Collectibles Marketplace
A white-label marketplace targeted for launch in Q2 2026, integrating secure storage, asset protection, yield-bearing token structures, metaverse galleries, and DAO-based governance.
R3alm Oracle Network
A decentralized oracle network delivering real-time valuations, provenance verification, and market analytics for collectibles. The platform combines AI-driven analytics, zero-knowledge privacy frameworks, and cross-chain architecture, with governance supported by a dedicated utility token.
The initiative also extends to R3alm Music History Holdings (RMH), a vehicle designed to tokenize artist assets and integrate fan loyalty programs.
Market Opportunity and Financial Outlook
The global collectibles market—including fine art, sports memorabilia, NFTs, luxury items, and music merchandise—is projected to grow from approximately $464 billion in 2025 to over $900 billion by 2035. Management believes tokenization and blockchain verification will play an increasingly central role in liquidity, transparency, and global participation.
Internal projections for the combined initiatives indicate scalable revenue opportunities, expanding assets under management, and long-term valuation potential across collectibles, oracle services, and music-focused holdings.
Strategic Benefits for Vystar Shareholders
Vystar believes this transaction:
- Diversifies its portfolio into high-growth Web3 and real-world asset markets
- Creates multiple revenue participation paths through equity, token economics, and platform fees
- Enhances long-term shareholder value through early participation in tokenized collectibles infrastructure
The Company intends to provide ongoing updates as definitive agreements are finalized and milestones are achieved.
