Former mixed martial arts legend Khabib Nurmagomedov, who was once the longest-reigning UFC lightweight champion, is expanding his network of Khabib Gyms globally and moving them on-chain. In a major partnership with MultiBank Group, Khabib Gyms worldwide will now be tokenized using Mavryk Network, a Layer 1 blockchain ecosystem that powers over $10 billion in real-world assets (RWAs). The deal allows fans and investors to participate directly in the growth of Khabib Gyms through regulated, fractionalized ownership.
The deal positions Mavryk as a critical infrastructure provider in the rapidly evolving RWA space. Engineered for compliance, scalability, and institutional adoption, Mavyrk bridges traditional assets and decentralized finance (DeFi) through its suite of tokenization protocols, lending mechanisms, and secondary market tools. Together with MultiBank’s regulatory reach, this partnership establishes a secure and transparent framework for investors of all types to access and trade tokenized real-world assets.
This collaboration represents the evolution of real-world assets, highlighting how consumer-facing industries can also adopt blockchain infrastructure that was previously reserved for institutional finance. Mavryk Network, now with a live mainnet, has been positioning itself as the backbone of real-world asset tokenization by turning these commodities into a transparent, liquid, and programmable financial environment.
Alex Davis, founder of Mavryk, emphasizes that “with much of the hype around RWAs, it’s on builders to deliver the right infrastructure for these assets to truly scale and go mainstream.”
As tokenization attracts traditional institutions, with some estimates predicting it to become a $30 trillion market by 2030, this initiative transforms Khabib Gyms into tradeable assets. This partnership enables verified investors to access both primary sales and secondary trading through MultiBank.io’s RWA platform.
Token holders will share in the gyms’ profits, bringing borderless access to the global fitness economy for the first time. All transactions are recorded transparently on-chain via Mavryk’s architecture, ensuring verifiable and regulated ownership. “This partnership shows what’s possible when real assets meet real infrastructure,” added Davis.
The endeavor builds on Mavryk’s ongoing collaboration with MultiBank, including the tokenization of over $10 billion in UAE premium real estate, featuring properties such as The Ritz-Carlton residences, Dubai Creekside, and Keturah Reserve. By investing directly in Mavryk and its $MVRK token, MultiBank secures the blockchain infrastructure it considers essential for scaling its global tokenization strategy.
With its suite of decentralized solutions, Mavryk aims to reconstruct ownership by building a digital economy of tokenized, yield-bearing assets, expanding compliant access while maintaining real-world value across both DeFi and traditional systems. By linking issuers, institutions, and qualified investors within a transparent, programmable financial environment, Mavryk is creating a more inclusive and borderless economy for real-world assets.
