Torch, LLC is preparing to launch Torch-RWA, a regulated digital marketplace for tokenized real-world assets. The exchange will debut with the $3.8B Forge Atlanta, offering compliant token issuance, automated revenue distribution, and identity-verified trading. TRCH token holders gain unique ecosystem access, including a 10% reward for Forge participation.

“The tokenized real-world asset market has grown roughly 380% in three years to about $24 billion, and analysts project tokenized assets could reach around $2 trillion by 2030.” (1)

“Tokenized real-world assets have already crossed the $20 billion mark, and major incumbents like the NYSE’s parent company are now building 24/7 platforms for blockchain-based securities.” (2)

Atlanta, GA – February 4, 2026 – Torch, LLC announces a digital infrastructure exchange, Torch-RWA (https://torch-rwa.com/), to support the issuance and lifecycle management of tokenized real-world assets (“RWAs”), a regulated, TRCH-powered institutional-grade marketplace anchored by Forge Atlanta, a $3.8 billion multi-phase mixed-use development in downtown Atlanta sponsored by Webstar Technology Group (https://webstartechgroupinc.com/) (OTCPK: WBSR). Upon launch, the Torch-RWA marketplace is expected to enable eligible, KYC/AML-verified investors to gain fractional, on-chain exposure to a defined portion of Forge Atlanta’s future distributable cash flows through regulated security tokens, while the TRCH utility token is designed to power access, fee, and rewards functionality across the exchange. The Forge Atlanta tokenization listing is the latest example of digital capital markets evolving beyond traditional finance and development structures, enabling direct investor participation in projects once limited and inaccessible to most investors.

Torch-RWA will be a regulated digital infrastructure for the compliant tokenization of Forge Atlanta’s development, and other RWAs and does not act as a developer, owner, or financial sponsor of the underlying real estate project. Positioned as a compliant crypto-economic infrastructure, Torch-RWA integrates security token standards, automated compliance enforcement, and programmable revenue distribution, enabling real-world assets to operate within a legally enforceable blockchain framework.

Institutional-Grade Blockchain Infrastructure for Real-World Assets

Torch-RWA is built on Ethereum using ERC-3643 security token standards, embedding investor identity, jurisdictional eligibility, and transfer restrictions directly into smart contracts. This design enables full regulatory alignment across issuance, custody, settlement, and secondary trading.

Core infrastructure layers include:

• On-chain identity verification (ERC-734/735)
• Automated KYC/AML enforcement via Identity Registries
• Modular compliance and jurisdictional rule engines
• Third-party custodial wallets and escrow-based settlement, as applicable
• Automated on-chain revenue distribution
• Regulated peer-to-peer secondary marketplace

This architecture enables programmable ownership, auditable cash flows, and legally enforceable asset settlement within a single unified system.

“Torch-RWA is being deployed as regulated digital asset infrastructure—not as an experimental marketplace,” said Eric McClendon, CEO of Torch, LLC. “Our goal is to provide a compliant, auditable framework where real-world assets can transition onto public blockchains without compromising legal integrity, investor protection, or institutional standards.”

“Launching with a multi-billion-dollar institutional-scale tokenized real estate development like Forge Atlanta demonstrates the scale of real-world value this platform is designed to support,” the CEO added.

Forge Atlanta – Torch-RWAs First Flagship Institutional-Scale Asset

The exchange’s inaugural listing will be Forge Atlanta, a multi-phase downtown mixed-use Mega-Asset backed by Webstar Technology Group and designed by Nelson Worldwide. Forge Atlanta is being advanced by Webstar Technology Group and its subsidiary Forge Atlanta Asset Management within a multi-pronged capital structure that includes traditional institutional financing, a $223.7 million bond inducement approved by the Development Authority of Fulton County (3), and future project-level debt and equity. Torch-RWA is intended to sit alongside this conventional capital stack as a digital infrastructure layer that brings fractional access and programmable distributions to compliant investors.

Within the Torch-RWA framework:

• RWA Tokens Receiving 30% Net Earnings will be represented via regulated on-chain security tokens (These security tokens do not represent equity or ownership in any land, buildings, or real property associated with the development)
• Bi-annual revenue distributions will be executed through audited smart contracts (Payouts to token holders occur automatically according to pre-programmed rules, providing transparency and reducing administrative overhead)
• Tokens will be tradable exclusively between verified, compliant investors
• All ownership transfers and payouts will be immutably recorded on-chain

Public projections associated with the development estimate:

• $7.3 billion in total economic impact
• 900+ permanent full-time jobs
• Long-term regional tax base expansion

Additionally, the Forge Atlanta tokenization structure includes net token proceeds allocation to a professionally managed portfolio of investment-grade fixed-income instruments, subject to market conditions and final documentation. This reserve framework is intended to provide an additional financial buffer to support project obligations and future phases of development.

Core Platform Modules Available at Initial Deployment

At launch, Torch-RWA will activate the following production modules:

• Primary Issuance Engine – Regulated security token issuance with immutable token supply and pricing, designed to integrate with registered broker-dealers, ATSs, and centralized exchanges, subject to regulatory approvals
• Secondary P2P Trading Layer – Infrastructure for compliant, escrow-backed investor-to-investor settlement and connectivity to regulated secondary trading venues
• Governance and Oversight – Torch-RWA is being built with regulated intermediaries, and institutional-grade audit and reporting processes to support issuer and investor protection
• Automated Revenue Distribution Engine – Smart-contract–controlled income payouts
• Staking and DAO Governance Framework – TRCH-powered voting and ecosystem governance
• Institutional, Retail, and Administrator Control Panels – Role-segregated operational dashboards
• Integrated Compliance & Audit Layer – Continuous synchronization between on-chain and off-chain records

Future roadmap phases include multi-chain expansion, RWA-backed lending, and cross-jurisdictional governance frameworks.

TRCH Utility Token and Forge Allocation Mechanism

Torch-RWA is powered by TRCH, an ERC-20 utility token used for:

• Marketplace settlement
• Governance participation
• Staking and yield incentives
• Platform-native asset access

Forge Investment Advantage: Investors who use TRCH to acquire Forge RWA security tokens receive a single, integrated 10% token reward, available exclusively within the Torch ecosystem and subject to compliance eligibility. (This reward is provided in TRCH utility tokens within the Torch ecosystem and does not constitute yield, an interest rate, or a guaranteed return).

Referral Reward Program Supporting Ecosystem Adoption

As part of its launch strategy, Torch-RWA will introduce a structured referral reward program for the TRCH utility token initial coin offering, which will subsequently be extended to the Forge RWA security token launch, designed to support responsible token distribution and platform adoption.

The referral program enables KYC-verified and compliance-approved users to invite new eligible participants to the Torch-RWA ecosystem. When referred users’ complete identity verification and engage in approved activities—such as TRCH acquisition or participation in Forge RWA offerings—referrers may receive token-based rewards, subject to predefined program terms and regulatory requirements.

The referral framework operates entirely within Torch-RWA’s compliance architecture and is intended to:

• Encourage verified user onboarding
• Support organic network growth
• Increase distribution efficiency of platform-native tokens
• Strengthen long-term ecosystem engagement

All referral rewards are issued in TRCH utility tokens and do not constitute yield, interest, profit-sharing, or guaranteed returns. Participation is subject to jurisdictional eligibility, platform policies, and ongoing compliance review.

Launch Timeline and Network Expansion

Torch-RWA is currently in its final pre-launch phase, with:

• Initial deployment on Ethereum
• Progressive rollout of primary issuance, secondary trading, staking, and governance
• Planned expansion to Ethereum Layer-2s, Polygon, and Solana

Private access phases will precede full public activation (Private phases will be limited to identity-verified institutional and accredited investors, with broader access introduced as regulatory requirements are satisfied).

(**All security token offerings and marketplace functions are subject to applicable regulatory approvals and ongoing compliance requirements.**)

China, 6th Feb 2026 – KML, a leading global provider of professional LED lighting manufacturer, has successfully delivered a fully customized RGBW downlight solution for a new client in the UK cinema industry. This project demonstrates KML’s expertise in handling small-batch, highly specialized orders while maintaining efficiency, transparency, and quality.

Addressing the Unique Challenges of Cinema Lighting

For cinemas, creating an immersive lighting environment is essential to enhancing the movie-going experience. Lighting sets the mood, complements interior design, and ensures audiences are fully engaged.

A new client from the UK cinema industry approached KML with a specific challenge: finding RGBW downlights that would seamlessly integrate with the theater’s unique interior design. The project presented several complexities:

• The lighting fixtures required advanced RGBW color-changing functionality.
• The design was niche and required a custom exterior color.
• The order consisted of only 168 units, making procurement and production more challenging.

Despite these hurdles, KML quickly recognized this as an opportunity to showcase its customization capabilities and professional service.

Rapid, Tailored Solution Within 24 Hours

Upon receiving the inquiry, KML’s engineering and sales teams collaborated to develop a fully tailored solution in under 24 hours. The solution focused on three core areas:

1. Size and Structure Confirmation
Based on detailed installation information provided by the client, KML confirmed the optimal downlight structure, ensuring the fixtures would integrate perfectly with the theater’s design.

2. Exterior Color Customization
Using the client’s color samples, the team quickly identified the closest matching powder coating or baked-paint finish, achieving a personalized aesthetic in line with the client’s requirements.

3. RGBW Light Source and Driver Solution
KML provided a professional RGBW color-mixing solution with a constant-voltage driver, ensuring smooth color transitions, stable control, and compliance with local voltage standards.

Full Transparency for Worry-Free Collaboration

Understanding the challenges of long-distance cooperation, KML offered the client its “transparent production” service, giving real-time visibility into the manufacturing process:

• Real-Time Progress Updates: From inspection of critical materials, such as custom-color coatings and RGBW LEDs, to assembly on the production line, the client received regular updates via photos and short videos.
• Witnessing Key Quality Stages: KML invited the client to remotely monitor quality control checkpoints, including aging tests and photometric testing, ensuring each downlight met strict performance standards.

The client could also communicate directly with the team via WhatsApp (+86 18898734807) for instant updates, questions, and confirmations, making collaboration seamless despite the distance.

Commitment to Professionalism and Global Service

“This project was not just about delivering 168 downlights,” said Ricky, KML’s contact person for international projects. “It reflects our commitment to professional, efficient, and transparent service for clients worldwide. Small-batch, custom projects are a prime opportunity to showcase our capabilities and build long-term partnerships.”

KML’s approach demonstrates how even highly specialized projects can be executed efficiently with careful planning, rapid response, and attention to detail. The project also highlights KML’s dedication to delivering innovative lighting solutions that meet the precise needs of professional clients, regardless of order size or complexity.

Campaign for Leadership Excellence: Unlocking Your Potential offers practical leadership lessons based on decades of real-world experience.

New York City, New York, United States, 6th Feb 2026 – Gary Bergenske is pleased to announce the release of Campaign for Leadership Excellence: Unlocking Your Potential, is a meaningful and action-focused Business & Money book that speaks to leaders who want to grow with purpose. Now available on Amazon, the book offers a clear message: leadership is not about control or recognition, but about responsibility and care for others.

Leadership Lessons Grounded in Real Experience

What sets this book apart is its foundation in lived experience. Gary Bergenske does not write from theory or trends. Every lesson comes from real moments, leading teams, guiding volunteers, managing responsibility, and serving people during critical times. Readers are given honest insight into what leadership looks like when decisions matter and people depend on you.

This Business & Money book walks readers through defining moments that shaped Gary’s leadership style. These include moments of doubt, moments of growth, and moments when service mattered more than status. These stories help readers understand that leadership is a process, not a position.

A Book for Many Types of Leaders

This book is written for a wide audience. Business owners, managers, nonprofit leaders, volunteers, and team members will all find value here. Even readers who do not see themselves as leaders yet will gain confidence and direction.

Because it speaks to both professional and volunteer leadership, the book fills a unique space in the Business & Money genre. It shows how leadership skills apply across workplaces, community groups, and service organizations. Readers learn how to adjust their approach depending on who they are serving.

Clear Guidance Without Complex Language

One of the strengths of this book is its simple and direct language. Gary Bergenske believes leadership ideas should be easy to understand and easy to use. Each chapter is written with clarity, making it accessible to readers at different stages of their careers.

Rather than long explanations, the book focuses on practical thinking. Readers are encouraged to reflect, take action, and apply lessons immediately. This makes the book useful as both a personal guide and a shared resource for team discussions or leadership training.

Focus on Values That Last

Many leadership books focus on short-term success. This Business & Money title focuses on long-term impact. Gary emphasizes values like integrity, humility, accountability, and service. These values help leaders build trust and strong relationships over time.

The book also highlights the ripple effect of leadership. Small actions, when done with purpose, can influence many lives. Readers are reminded that leadership does not end when a role ends. True leadership leaves a lasting mark through people who were supported and inspired.

Author’s Broader Mission

Gary Bergenske’s work goes beyond writing. His leadership has supported children’s healthcare, education, and humanitarian efforts for many years. Through scholarships, awards, and charitable initiatives, he has helped develop future leaders who value service and character.

His experience as a speaker allows him to communicate ideas clearly and with heart. As an author in the Business & Money field, Gary brings consistency between what he teaches, what he writes, and how he lives.

A Useful Tool for Teams and Organizations

Many readers will find this book useful beyond individual reading. Leaders can use chapters as discussion starters in meetings or training sessions. Volunteer organizations can use it to help new leaders understand responsibility and teamwork. Business owners can use it to shape company culture.

Because of its structure and clarity, the book works well as a reference guide readers can return to when facing challenges or transitions.
