A briefing about CW2 in RWA
This Podcast covers:
Several financial institutions and crypto companies are exploring or expanding their offerings in the tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) space. Coinbase is considering offering tokenized shares on its Base platform, while Bitfinex is moving its derivatives operations to El Salvador. BounceBit is partnering with Plume Network to expand its RWA offering. Plume Network is working with endl to provide companies with access to RWA returns. Something is also happening in traditional finance: OCBC has started selling customized tokenized bonds. E-Trade is considering entering crypto trading and Ethena is planning to launch iUSDe for traditional finance. HashKey is working with Asteroid to improve security and RWA tokenization. The DTCC plans to intensify its work with digital assets in 2025. IZNES has simulated the use of wCBDC with Banque de France, and Santander has conducted an intraday repo with JP Morgan on their blockchain infrastructure.
These developments point to a growing trend of asset tokenization driven by regulatory clarity and institutional interest. Companies like SuperWine are even tokenizing wine, while Ripple is partnering with Chainlink to bolster its stablecoin RLUSD in DeFi markets. Multicoin Capital expects that 2025 will see a significant upswing in the tokenization of securities and that AI agents will play an important role in this area. The increased use of DLT and tokenization will lead to more transparency, efficiency and liquidity in the financial markets.
