Bridging Assets and Beats – RWA Deep Dive + Afterparty
Connect with industry leaders from Loeb Smith, KPMG, and Formidium during Token2049 Singapore week as we dive into tokenization, Real-World Assets (RWAs), and institutional adoption, and roll straight into an afterparty with a live DJ set.
Tokenization is shifting from hype to reality, with RWAs at the forefront. As digital assets mature, institutions are exploring tokenized funds, products, and infrastructure that merge on-chain efficiency with off-chain trust. The challenge ahead lies in establishing clarity on regulation, investor assurance, and operational readiness.
This session brings together expertise across law, audit, and fund administration to unpack:
Global regulation & legal frameworks for tokenized funds
Audit, custody & proof-of-reserves to build investor confidence
Fund operations: onboarding, KYC/AML, and bridging on-chain with traditional systems
The outlook for tokenization and what’s needed for mainstream adoption
