Forward Industries (NASDAQ: FWDI) announced a commitment of up to $50 million to USHP, a planned tokenized liquid index product designed to track U.S. home prices. According to issuer USHP Limited, the product has secured up to $100 million in pre-launch institutional commitments, including Forward’s allocation. The company also acquired a strategic minority interest in Index Industries, which manages the underlying U.S. Home Price Index, along with warrants to purchase additional equity. USHP is designed to be backed by housing-related reserve assets, while its planned income-bearing version, USHPi, is intended to provide dollar-denominated yield to token holders.
The investment advances Forward’s SOL++ strategy of acquiring income-generating assets to support operating expenses and accumulate additional Solana (“SOL”) tokens while reducing reliance on equity issuance. Forward intends to use potential income from USHP to fund dollar-denominated expenses and increase its SOL holdings. USHP is targeting a launch by the end of 2026, with a planned expansion to the Solana blockchain in 2027. Forward said its investment in Index Industries also provides exposure to the infrastructure supporting USHP and potential future housing-linked financial products.
