We had a wonderful time co-hosting @onchainsummit 2025 with @SaisonCapital, @emurgo_io, and @D3Labsdotio. From the growing institutional adoption of RWAs to the infrastructure driving change, and the convergence of DeFi’s composability and liquidity with TradFi’s stability and scale, the conversations were thoughtful and the momentum was undeniable. We're grateful for the opportunity to facilitate these dialogues—and we're only getting started! Take a look at a few highlights from the day ⬇️

At @onchainsummit 2025, EMURGO’s Nikhil Joshi, alongside @carbonmarkcom, @OpenEden_X, and @OndoFinance, discussed the emerging RWA tokenization opportunities in 2025. The panel highlighted several key takeaways, touching upon the importance of applying tokenization selectively—not across every asset class, but instead focusing on where it solves real problems and enhances transactional efficiency, asset liquidity, and investor access. The discussion also emphasized the continued need for strong regulatory frameworks, legal clarity, and continuing education to help users understand the full impact of tokenization and how to safely engage with tokenized assets moving forward. #RWA #Tokenization #ONCHAIN2025

At today’s @onchainsummit 2025, @phillip_pon delivered a keynote titled “RWA Tokenization: This Cycle or Next?”—diving deep into where the real value in tokenization comes from: programmability, composability, and liquidity, and how we're still in the early innings of the next financial revolution. He also highlighted the critical need for the "3 Cs" to scale RWAs and unlock true liquidity + institutional adoption: ▪️Composability—Web3 elements like stablecoins & wallets to function as interoperable building blocks ▪️Compliance—Essential for scalable adoption; firms like @AnzensOfficial focus on a regulation-first approach ▪️Custody—Reliable custodians & storage solutions are a must for tokenized assets Follow @emurgo_io for more updates on RWAs and upcoming events on our calendar.

Solving Liquidity Challenges in Tokenized Asset Markets—Live from @onchainsummit 2025. #Tokenization doesn’t guarantee liquidity—and that’s exactly what our Founder & CEO, Henry Zhang, explored on stage alongside leaders from @pdaxph, @Ledger, @secondswap_io, @HashKeyGroup, and @foundation_aya. From market structure to accessibility, the panel tackled the real frictions standing between tokenized assets and usable liquidity. Here are a few key takeaways.
