This panel invited guests including Vino from HashKey Tokenization, EudemoniaCC's Asia-Pacific Head, JJ, a growth partner at thePAC, and Vivian Mei, Deputy Director of Ecological Legal Affairs at AI Mall. They conducted an in-depth discussion on RWA's current development status, market integration paths, and ecosystem evolution. The guests analyzed the core value of asset tokenization, current compliance challenges, and market landing possibilities from multiple perspectives including financial institutions, infrastructure, ecosystem organizations, and emerging application scenarios. They also shared practical experiences in policy adaptation, cross-chain collaboration, and user education, and provided insights into RWA's future application prospects and ecosystem integration trends in global financial and consumer markets.
Panel 2 —— RWA Yield Revolution: Connecting TradFi & DeFi
This panel was hosted by Angela, CMO of DFG & Jsquare, with guests including Laura, CSO & CMO of Pharos, Jonathan, Cooperation Head of Merlin Chain, Christophe, Asia-Pacific BD Head of Gelato, Carl, BD Head of Navi Protocol, and Enzzo, CBDO of R2. The guests jointly explored RWA yield innovation and sustainability, market status of related yield products, and discussed core innovations and differences between RWA and traditional financial and DeFi models (such as LSD, reStaking). Pharos, Merlin, and Gelato, as infrastructure builders, introduced their differentiated solutions in technical architecture, liquidity support, and compliance adaptation. Navi Protocol and R2 shared how to create sustainable RWA yield systems through DeFi.
This RWA event, through keynote speeches and roundtable discussions, deeply explored the infinite potential of RWA in technological innovation, compliance development, and ecosystem integration. With traditional giants like BlackRock and JPMorgan entering the market, and scenarios such as cross-border payments and tokenized funds gradually landing, RWA is accelerating towards mainstream adoption. In the future, driven by continuously improving regulatory frameworks and ongoing technological innovation, RWA is expected to become the core bridge connecting traditional finance and blockchain ecosystems, opening up a new blue ocean of trillion-dollar scale.
We thank all speaking guests and partners for their strong support of this event.
