Torch-RWA to Debut TRCH-Powered RWA Marketplace with $3.8 Billion Forge Atlanta as First Listing
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.**)

Kentucky, USA, Aug 07, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — After spending decades caring for patients in emergency departments, retired physician Dr. James Blake believes one of today’s biggest health challenges is not always visible. Chronic stress, burnout, and the loss of personal purpose are affecting millions of people across every profession and stage of life.
Drawing on lessons from a career in emergency medicine, his experience as a former Olympic cyclist, and years of martial arts training, Dr. Blake is encouraging people to adopt simple daily habits that build resilience before life’s biggest challenges arrive.
“People often think resilience appears when you need it,” said Dr. Blake. “In reality, you build it every single day through discipline, perseverance, and the willingness to keep moving forward.”
According to the American Psychological Association, nearly eight in ten adults report experiencing stress that affects their physical or mental health. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also reports that more than one in five U.S. adults experience symptoms of anxiety or depression in a given year. Meanwhile, physician organizations continue to report burnout affecting more than 40% of doctors, highlighting that stress reaches even highly trained professionals.
Dr. Blake believes these challenges cannot always be solved overnight, but individuals can begin improving their own resilience with consistent daily habits.
“We all have multiple failures within our lives and careers,” he said. “It is how we learn from them, redirect our goals, and pursue them again with constant dedication.”
Throughout his career, Dr. Blake learned that success was rarely defined by one major accomplishment. Instead, it came from small actions repeated consistently over time.
Before entering medicine, Dr. Blake competed as an Olympic cyclist, where every race depended on months of preparation. Later, earning a black belt in martial arts reinforced another lesson that stayed with him throughout his medical career.
“Make goals and pursue them in a positive way to complete the task,” he said. “You don’t have to solve everything today. Just take the next right step.”
Dr. Blake also credits teamwork as one of the defining strengths of his years in emergency medicine.
“I absolutely loved the job that I did,” he said. “We touched many people’s lives, and I built strong bonds with all the staff members I worked with.”
He believes the same principle applies outside hospitals. Families, workplaces, schools, and communities become stronger when people support one another instead of trying to carry every burden alone.
Recent research continues to support that idea. Studies have found that people with strong social connections tend to experience lower stress levels, better mental well-being, and improved long-term health outcomes compared with those who feel isolated.
Faith has also remained central to Dr. Blake’s approach to life.
“God has guided me through every season,” he said. “Faith gives me perspective when life becomes difficult.”
Today, Dr. Blake encourages people to spend less time searching for quick solutions and more time building consistent habits.
“Daily reevaluation of goals is important,” he said. “You have to constantly adjust and improve.”
He also believes people should not fear setbacks.
“Perseverance and hard work and dedication matter,” Dr. Blake said. “Success isn’t about never failing. It’s about continuing to move forward.”
What You Can Do Today
Dr. Blake encourages individuals to begin strengthening their own resilience by taking small, practical steps each day:
-
Write down one meaningful goal every morning.
-
Spend at least 20 minutes moving your body.
-
Limit time spent consuming negative online content.
-
Reflect each evening on one lesson you learned that day.
-
Encourage someone else with a kind word or phone call.
-
Review your goals every week and adjust them as life changes.
-
Make time for prayer, quiet reflection, or gratitude.
“Inner strength grows through daily action,” Dr. Blake said. “The habits you build today prepare you for the challenges you’ll face tomorrow.”
Dr. Blake hopes more people will share these ideas with their families, friends, coworkers, and communities. He believes resilience grows stronger when people encourage one another and commit to steady personal growth.

New Jersey, USA, Aug 07, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Seci Construction, Inc., a family-owned exterior home improvement company founded in 1973, has released a free 15-Minute Home Exterior Self-Audit designed for homeowners, first-time buyers, and anyone responsible for maintaining a residential property.
The one-page checklist guides individuals through a simple visual review of their roofline, siding, windows, doors, gutters, drainage areas, masonry, and attic. It does not require special tools, climbing onto a roof, or prior construction knowledge.
The resource reflects lessons Seci Construction has gained while completing more than 5,000 roofing projects and serving homeowners across New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania.
“When you’ve worked on thousands of homes, you learn how to solve problems properly,” the company said. “You also learn that small issues often become major problems when they are ignored.”
Why a Simple Home Self-Audit Matters
The checklist arrives as weather exposure, ageing housing and energy loss continue to create real costs for American households.
Four figures help show the scale of the issue:
-
The United States experienced 27 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in 2024, with estimated costs of $182.7 billion.
-
About one in every 36 insured homes has a property damage claim related to wind or hail.
-
About one in every 67 insured homes has a property damage claim caused by water damage or freezing.
-
Uncontrolled air leakage may account for 30% or more of a home’s heating and cooling costs.
The self-audit is not intended to diagnose structural problems. It helps individuals notice visible changes, record them and decide whether an area needs closer attention.
“A roof is not just shingles,” Seci Construction said. “It’s protection for a family. It has to last. It has to perform.”
What the Free Checklist Covers
The resource asks users to review ten areas from safe ground-level or indoor positions:
-
Missing, lifted or visibly damaged roofing materials
-
Sagging or uneven sections along the roofline
-
Gutters containing leaves, standing water or visible gaps
-
Downspouts that release water too close to the foundation
-
Cracked, loose, warped or discoloured siding
-
Gaps around windows and exterior doors
-
Cracked or deteriorating masonry
-
Branches touching or hanging over the roof
-
Water marks, damp areas or unusual odours in the attic
-
Changes that have appeared since the previous inspection
Users can mark each item as “clear,” “watch” or “needs attention.” They can also add the date and take photographs to create a basic maintenance record.
“We understand that a home is personal,” the company said. “People are trusting you with something that matters deeply to them.”
Use This in 15 Minutes
Minutes 1–3: Start at the front of the property
Stand at a safe distance and look at the roofline, gutters, siding, windows and doors. Do not climb onto the roof.
Minutes 4–7: Walk around the sides and back
Look for drainage problems, loose materials, cracked masonry and branches near the structure.
Minutes 8–10: Check the ground around the home
Note standing water, soil erosion, blocked downspouts or areas where water appears to collect.
Minutes 11–13: Review the attic or upper level
Look for visible moisture, stains, daylight entering through gaps or musty odours. Avoid touching wiring or damaged materials.
Minutes 14–15: Record what you found
Mark the checklist, photograph any visible changes and set a date to review the area again.
“People want honesty and clear communication,” Seci Construction said. “That matters just as much as the construction work itself.”
Common Mistakes People Make
Seci Construction developed the resource to address several common habits that can make exterior problems harder to track.
Waiting for an active leak: Water may travel before it becomes visible indoors. A ceiling stain may not appear directly below the source.
Checking only after a major storm: Seasonal reviews can help people establish what is normal for their property and notice gradual changes.
Looking only at the roof: Gutters, siding, window seals, drainage and masonry all help protect the building envelope.
Failing to take photographs: Without dated images, it can be difficult to tell whether a crack, stain or uneven area has changed.
Climbing onto the roof without training: The checklist is designed for observations from the ground or from safe indoor areas. Individuals should not place themselves at risk to complete it.
Making permanent repairs without understanding the cause: Covering a visible symptom may leave the original source of moisture or deterioration unresolved.
How to Use the Resource Today
Readers can begin today by setting a 15-minute timer, opening the checklist on a phone or printing one copy, and walking around their property from a safe distance.
Mark every area as “clear,” “watch” or “needs attention.” Take a dated photograph of anything that looks different, damaged or uncertain. Store the checklist with home records and repeat the review after major weather events and at the start of each season.
Readers are also encouraged to share the checklist with a neighbour, relative or first-time homeowner who may not yet have a regular exterior maintenance routine.

Ebene, Mauritius, August 7th, 2026, FinanceWire
PU Prime has launched XAUUSD247, a new offering that enables clients to trade gold 24 hours a day, seven days a week on MT5. Gold remains one of the world’s most actively traded safe-haven assets, with prices responding rapidly to geopolitical events, central bank policies, inflation expectations, and shifts in investor sentiment.
Earlier this year, gold surged to nearly US$5,600 per ounce in January as investors flocked to safe-haven assets amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. While prices have since retreated from their peak, the World Gold Council’s research notes that gold remains one of the top-performing assets over the past year.
“Gold CFDs have consistently been among the most actively traded products on the PU Prime platform,” said Daniel Bruce, Managing Director at PU Prime. “With many factors continuing to influence prices at all times of the day, traders increasingly expect flexibility to react whenever opportunities arise. The launch of XAUUSD247 enables clients to trade gold CFDs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, giving them uninterrupted access to this precious metal.”
The introduction of XAUUSD247 allows traders to access the gold market 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing greater flexibility beyond conventional trading hours. As financial markets increasingly operate around the clock, PU Prime remains focused on delivering trading solutions that provide clients with greater flexibility, convenience and access to global opportunities.
