ROUND IS GREATER THAN ROWS
By design, RWA Day prioritizes networking with Roundtable sessions between punchy and actionable keynote and showcase talks. The roundtable format fosters: real conversations, better engagement, and stronger connections. Perfect for discussing Real World Adoption!
Overview:
Explore the path to large-scale adoption of Real-World Assets (RWAs) on the blockchain, focusing on asset classes, regulatory challenges, and the role of financial institutions.
Potential Discussion Points:
Current State of RWAs On-Chain: Progress in tokenizing various asset classes like real estate, treasuries, commodities, and collectibles with a focus on tangible use cases.
Regulatory Frameworks: Evolving policies across jurisdictions impacting asset tokenization.
Role of Financial Institutions: How market makers and institutions facilitate adoption.
Overcoming Barriers to Adoption: Addressing challenges related to technology, education, and infrastructure.
Stablecoins in RWA Transactions: Bridging traditional finance with digital assets.
Key Drivers and Roadblocks: Technologies, trends, and challenges in achieving large-scale adoption.
Role of Derivatives: How complex financial instruments contribute to reaching the quadrillion-dollar mark.
Redefining Ownership: How tokenization is transforming ownership structures, broadening access to previously illiquid markets and enhancing compatibility options across platforms and ecosystems.
Overview:
In the first session, we explored the journey to bringing a quadrillion dollars’ worth of real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain. Now, in this session, we’ll dive into the next critical step: How do we unlock the value of these assets once they’re tokenized? Liquidity is the key to turning tokenized assets into tradeable, usable assets in the digital economy. This session will cover the strategies and methods for transforming traditionally illiquid assets—such as private equity, real estate, and collectibles—into liquid assets, enabling them to flow through markets and become accessible to a broader range of investors.
Potential Discussion Points:
Making Tokenized Assets Work: How do we ensure that once assets are on-chain, they become usable through liquid markets?
Creating Secondary Market Liquidity: What are the critical steps for creating liquidity for assets that have traditionally been difficult to trade, such as private credit and real estate?
Turning Assets into Cash Flow: How does tokenization open up opportunities for lending, collateralization, and the ability to trade previously illiquid assets?
Overcoming Traditional Barriers: Navigating legal, regulatory, and operational challenges.
Real-World Use Cases: Practical examples from platforms showcasing successful tokenization efforts and enhanced liquidity for private funds, real estate, and other asset classes.
Future Outlook: The evolving role of decentralized exchanges (DEXs), automated market makers (AMMs), and liquidity pools in reshaping the landscape of secondary markets.
