VYSTAR ENTERS STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP INTO THE MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY, WITH FILM AND TOKENIZATION CONTRACTS

Creating a Proof of Concept for R3ALM’s Tokenization Business Model

• STRATEGIC INVESTMENT OPTION INTO COIN AGE ENTERTAINMENT
• STRATEGIC INVESTMENT OPTION INTO BLOODLINE KILLERS 2
• STRATEGIC INVESTMENT OPTION INTO FINAL STAY MOVIE TOKEN
• DEVELOPED NEW ECOMMERCE PLATFORM ADVANCING R3ALM INTO FILM PRODUCTION AND AI-POWERED COMMERCE COMPLETE WITH DIGITAL CURRENCY

BOSTON, MA, Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vystar Corporation (OTCQB: VYST) today announced that it has purchased an option in Coin Age Entertainment, Inc., allowing for the acquisition of up to a 20% equity interest at an agreed company valuation of $2.5 million. This investment into film production and AI-Powered commerce creates a Proof of Concept for R3ALM’s Tokenization Business Model, Stated Jamie Rotman CEO of Vystar.

Vystar has partnered with Coin Age Entertainment to implement a first of its kind Token for movies and AI-Powered ecommerce platform. FSMT (Final Stay Movie Token) is currently trading at a 4X appreciation with approximately a $2 million market cap.

Alongside the investment, Vystar, and some of its larger shareholders and Coin Age Entertainment have signed a separate commercial option agreement covering the motion picture Bloodline Killers 2. This is a unique opportunity backed by refundable film and television state tax credits.

Vystar was happy to offer a percentage of its allocation to some of its bigger shareholders and hopes to continue to do so with future projects. It allows Vystar to deploy larger investment capital, without constraining cash flow or raising equity dollars, Stated Jamie Rotman, CEO of Vystar

The investment follows Vystar’s acquisition of a 50% interest in R3ALM, Inc. It is the company’s next step in moving R3ALM’s technology from development to commercial use.

From Concept to Commercial Application

Through Coin Age, Vystar intends to demonstrate how R3ALM’s artificial intelligence and commercial infrastructure can support each stage of a film’s life: creative development, financing support, marketing, merchandising, distribution and audience engagement.

R3ALM is not building a collection of separate tools. Its aim is a single platform that can serve one production after another, and many entertainment companies at once. One of Vystar’s partners and Coin Age’s principals, currently has a three-year co-financing deal with a major studio and has completed over 70 films, including National Lampoons Christmas Vacation where he was CEO and Chairman.

The strategy is straightforward: build a working commercial model, prove its value, and offer that model to the wider entertainment industry, Stated Jamie Rotman CEO of Vystar.

A Platform Built for Repeated Use

Every film needs financing, marketing, merchandise, distribution and intellectual property services. Those needs recur with each new production.

R3ALM intends to meet them through one common technology base, supported by its A.E.G.I.S. governed-intelligence architecture.

The opportunity is not limited to sharing in a film’s box office success. It includes steady revenue from services provided over the life of each production, repeated across many projects.

Vystar’s stake in Coin Age and its ownership interest in R3ALM give the company two sources of potential return: investment gains from entertainment, and service revenue from technology.

The objective is not simply to finance or promote movies. It is to build a business that serves the companies making them.

Vystar will provide further updates on the contracts specifics and as R3ALM’s commercial applications are developed and put into use into film and other industries. These include; Token and Social Media Websites, Artist and/or Movie ticketing packages, fan experiences, travel packages, mobile fan club, merchandise, One of a Kind, Collectibles and Memorabilia, advertising and sponsorship activities.
