    Dec 18 2024

    As blockchain technology continues to mature, one concept stands out for its transformative potential: Tokenized Real-World Assets (RWAs). In a recent webinar hosted by Genfinity, leaders from InvestaX, Plug and Play, and the XDC Network came together to discuss the challenges and opportunities shaping the RWA space. With an impressive ~90,000 participants tuning in, the event underscored growing interest in the projected $30 trillion tokenization market and its role in reshaping financial markets. Key takeaways: 1️⃣ Growing Institutional Interest Institutional players like BlackRock and JP Morgan are now embracing tokenization, signaling its mainstream potential. Initially hesitant due to unclear regulations, many are now actively exploring public blockchain solutions. 2️⃣ Utility and Liquidity are Critical for Adoption Tokenizing an asset is just the first step. To drive adoption, tokenized assets must offer liquidity and practical financial use cases. A recent milestone is IX Swap’s partnership with Clearpool, enabling tokenized RWAs to be used as collateral for borrowing. 3️⃣ Democratization of Access to Capital Startups and mid-sized businesses can now raise funds globally with tokenized equity and debt offerings. Platforms like InvestaX make it possible to manage these processes securely and compliantly, breaking down traditional barriers. 4️⃣ Regulatory Frameworks are Key Regulatory clarity is crucial for adoption. Panelists emphasized that platforms like InvestaX, with proper licensing and compliance capabilities, set the standard for institutional participation. ➡️ Watch the webinar recording for full insights. ➡️ Read our recap blog for key insights on https://www.investax.io/
