RWA Night NYC
A Night for RWA Builders, Allocators, Issuers, Infra & Institutions
An institutional mixer for the people shipping and supporting real world assets onchain.
No loud music. No "vibes". No randos. No panels. No stage.
Just a high bar and high‑signal conversations and huddles with the right counterparties.
Date: Monday, September 15, 2025
Time: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM ET
Location: Bar Harta @ The Grayson Hotel (Midtown Manhattan)
Hosts: RWA.Builders x Vertalo
What this is
RWA Night is a curated, after‑hours networking session for the serious side of tokenization and DeFi. Think builders and issuers who are live or near‑live, allocators who deploy, service providers who actually ship, DAO treasurers, custodians, market makers, and infra teams.
It’s the evening before a major RWA week in NYC, so you’ll see a strong density of decision‑makers in one room.
Who should attend
Issuers and asset owners: private credit, T‑bill and MMF wrappers, real estate funds, commodities, trade finance, treasuries and cash programs
Buy side and allocators: family offices, RIAs, funds of funds, foundations, endowments, corporate treasurers, DAO treasurers
Platforms and infra: tokenization stacks, custody, KYC and identity, compliance, data and oracles, settlement and payments, market making, liquidity venues
Protocols and foundations building serious RWA and DeFi rails
If that’s you, you’re in the right room.

Highly curated guest list – application required, invite prioritized for buy side and active issuers
