Catenaa, Tuesday, February 17, 2026-Investing Yachts launched a real-world asset (RWA) yacht charter model, connecting luxury yacht operations to blockchain-based tokenized ownership through its $YATE token.
The initiative is designed to broaden access to yacht investing, historically limited by high capital requirements, illiquidity, and operational complexity.
Under the $YATE ecosystem, tokenholders can earn up to 65% of annual net charter profits by locking tokens in protocol “vaults,” with rewards scaled by lock period.
The model includes a buyback and burn mechanism, earmarking 10% of profits to reduce circulating token supply, and asset-tied issuance where new tokens correspond to fleet expansion or acquisitions.
The $YATE pre-sale opens February 25, 2026, with an initial price of 0.10 USDT per token. Prices increase by 0.75% every 24 hours over a nine-month period, targeting a post–pre-sale listing value of 1.00 USDT. Pre-sale tokens include vesting schedules to encourage long-term holding and stability within the community.
Investing Yachts positions itself at the intersection of on-chain finance and traditional yacht markets, targeting the global luxury yacht charter industry, which has historically been accessible only to high-net-worth individuals. The platform has established partnerships with experienced yacht brokers and intermediaries to support fleet sourcing, charter operations, and acquisition strategy.
The project emphasizes community engagement, offering updates on X, Instagram, and Telegram ahead of the pre-sale and broader exchange listings. Leadership spans technology, finance, yacht operations, media, and legal expertise, bringing experience in algorithmic trading, institutional markets, and charter management.
The $YATE token framework aims to democratize exposure to private equity-style yacht investments, providing tradable, blockchain-based access to revenue streams traditionally confined to offline markets.
