[PRESS RELEASE \u2013 Karavas, Cyprus, February 17th, 2026]<\/strong><\/p>\n

At a time when much of the blockchain industry is still recovering from one of its harshest downturns, a small number of companies are quietly moving in the opposite direction: expanding, building, and positioning themselves for the next era of adoption.<\/p>\n

Public Masterpiece<\/a>, a Cyprus-based real-world asset tokenization company, has announced PMT Chain<\/strong>, its own purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain. Alongside the announcement, the company confirmed a strategic repositioning: PMT<\/strong>, once short for Public Masterpiece Token, will now stand for Public Masterpiece Technology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The timing is notable. Crypto did not simply experience a correction, but a $1.1 trillion stress test that dismantled inflated narratives and exposed weak token models. Many projects will not return.<\/p>\n

Public Masterpiece is positioning itself as one of the exceptions. Even before revealing its Layer 1 ambitions, the company built traction through its Layer 2 presence on BNB Chain. Over the past 12 months, PMT has reportedly increased in price by 75%<\/strong>, outperforming 86% of the top 100 crypto assets<\/strong>, including Bitcoin and Ethereum<\/strong>, while trading above its 200-day moving average<\/strong> and remaining near its all-time high<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

PMT Chain is designed specifically for real-world asset tokenization<\/strong>, with the company positioning the network as infrastructure for internationally renowned museums, galleries, private collectors, and global brands<\/strong> seeking secure and transparent certification solutions.<\/p>\n

At the center of the ecosystem will be a Certification Hub in the UAE<\/strong>, staffed by evaluators, art experts, and historians. The goal is to establish an international framework for authenticating and evaluating physical artworks on-chain, addressing long-standing issues such as forgery, provenance manipulation, and the illegal trafficking of art, artifacts, collectibles, and historical goods.<\/p>\n

CEO Kamran Arki<\/strong><\/a> described the mission with clarity:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe last market cycle proved one thing: narratives collapse when foundations are weak. PMT Chain was built for real-world value and long-term trust. Museums, collectors, and brands need transparency, security, and permanence. That is exactly what we engineered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Public Masterpiece revealed that PMT Chain has been built over seven years<\/strong>, with five years dedicated solely to research and development<\/strong>, a timeline that stands in sharp contrast to the rapid-launch culture of the blockchain sector.<\/p>\n

COO Garen Mehrabian<\/strong><\/a> emphasized the broader responsibility behind the project:<\/p>\n

\u201cWeb3 will not reach mass adoption if it feels like a casino. Builders have the responsibility to create systems people can trust and understand. We didn\u2019t build PMT Chain to ride a wave. We built it to create an ecosystem that survives every wave.\u201d<\/p>\n

While art remains the cultural foundation, Public Masterpiece confirmed that PMT Chain is designed to scale beyond it, including real estate tokenization<\/strong> and broader RWA deployment. The network will also offer white-label tokenization and certification solutions<\/strong>, enabling institutions and companies to integrate blockchain infrastructure without building their own systems from scratch.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most notably, Public Masterpiece confirmed that several governments are already in discussions regarding PMT Chain implementation. No names have been revealed, and the company has not announced a launch date. While the blockchain is reportedly ready, the founders have stated it will go live only when the timing is strategically optimal.<\/p>\n

In a market where speculation has been punished and confidence is scarce, Public Masterpiece is betting that the next era of blockchain adoption will be defined by infrastructure, not hype.<\/p>\n
