Commences on-chain migration of its mortgage portfolio, unlocking elevated transparency, efficiency, and yield opportunities across the mortgage ecosystemMore than half a billion dollars in mortgages tokenized to date as Pineapple converts legacy loan data into secure, auditable digital assetsLaunch includes Mortgage Data Marketplace and Pineapple Prime, bringing institutional-grade analytics and mortgage-backed yields on-chain

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 10, 2025) - Pineapple Financial Inc. (NYSE American: PAPL) ("Pineapple" or "the Company"), a leading fintech platform, today announced the launch of its mortgage tokenization platform, a major advancement in the Company's on-chain financial infrastructure strategy. Pineapple is now converting real-world mortgage records, historically trapped in PDFs, emails, and back-office folders, into secure and programmable digital assets on the Injective blockchain.

This marks one of the first instances globally of a publicly traded mortgage company tokenizing its own loan book on a public blockchain and integrating on-chain data into day-to-day operations. As part of the platform's initial deployment, Pineapple has already brought 1,259 previously originated mortgage files on-chain, representing approximately $716 million CAD in funded mortgage volume. Over the coming months, the Company expects to migrate its entire historical portfolio of more than 29,000 funded mortgages, totaling approximately $13.7 billion CAD, with new originations added on an ongoing basis.

Each tokenized mortgage record contains more than 500 unique data points, creating a unified, auditable, and tamper-resistant source of truth designed to streamline operational workflows, improve risk modeling, and unlock new financial products.

"Pineapple has been a pioneer in modernizing the Canadian mortgage industry, reshaping a traditional and fragmented space into a technology-driven and data-powered ecosystem," said Shubha Dasgupta, CEO of Pineapple Financial. "By bringing our loan book on-chain, we are not only improving transparency and increasing efficiency, we are laying the groundwork for entirely new financial products, from data marketplaces to mortgage-backed yield platforms. This is the future of mortgage finance, and Pineapple is proud to be leading that transformation."

"Tokenizing Pineapple's mortgage portfolio on Injective represents one of the most significant real-world asset deployments ever conducted by a public company," said Cooper Emmons, Institutional Markets Advisor at Injective Labs. "Pineapple is setting a new industry standard by moving real mortgage data on-chain at scale, and Injective is built to support this level of financial innovation. We are excited to partner with Pineapple as they bring new transparency, programmability, and accessibility to the mortgage market."

Pineapple's tokenization platform is designed to solve long-standing operational challenges across mortgage finance, including fragmented data systems, manual audits, and outdated document tracking processes. By bringing structured loan-level data on-chain, Pineapple can support automated verification, real-time audit trails, and seamless data sharing for compliant institutional use.

Built on this foundation, Pineapple is developing two new commercial products:

Pineapple has launched a dedicated tokenization landing page, featuring a real-time metrics tracker that updates automatically as new mortgage assets are minted on-chain. To learn more about the platform and see the future of mortgages in action, please visit https://pineappledigitalassets.com/.
