RWA Tokenization Use Cases: From Bonds to Real Estate
Kicking off the week at Mantra’s office in Hong Kong, we had two insightful discussions.
The first panel featured industry leaders sharing real-world applications and emerging trends in tokenization:
🔹 Kevin (UBS/DigiFT) – Money Market Funds & TradFi’s growing role in RWA tokenization
🔹 Bugra (HSBC) – Gold tokenization & bridging non-crypto native investors

🔹 Jeremy (OpenEden)– US Treasuries as the leading RWA use case post-stablecoins & the next milestone for T-bills
🔹 Rafik (Mimo) – Tokenizing GPU power & the market’s response to computational assets
Second Panel Recap: Bonds Tokenization in Luxembourg
In this panel, we explored how traditional finance players—who have historically dealt with real estate claims, bonds, and institutional investments—are now entering the crypto space through tokenization.
With seasoned speakers from the TradFi world:
🎙️Peter Kadish – Managing Director, LynxCap Investments
🎙️Bertrand Job, Partner, JBA Legal in association with Omilia
Key Insights:
✅ Traditional financial instruments like bonds are being tokenized, unlocking new liquidity and investment opportunities.
✅ Luxembourg’s regulatory framework makes for an attractive hub for tokenized assets due to its robust legal structure.
✅ The conversation emphasized the importance of smart contract auditing, KYC/AML processes, and regulatory adherence to maintain investor confidence in tokenized assets.
✅ The integration of traditional finance, blockchain infrastructure, and legal expertise is essential for scaling the adoption of tokenization.
✅There’s a rising global appetite for tokenized assets, particularly from regions like Latin America and Southeast Asia.
RWAs Get Real Hong Kong
Closing out Consensus HK 2025 with a banger of an event!
To end an exciting week and in the spirit of nurturing the friends and connections that were made during Consensus, we hosted our signature RWAs Get Real event in Hong Kong.
There was a great turnout of 70+ people 🔥 with casual conversation, drinks, and photos.
Looking forward to our next side event in Dubai for Token2049?
ONE OF US RWA Morning Run & Coffee + Hike & Brunch
In collaboration with ONE OF US, AYA, Kuma Protocol, Anzen, Cudis, Super walk and Nouns, we kick started Consensus Week with a run along Hong Kong Island to get energized and ready for the main event 🏃🏻

Panel Highlights from Consensus Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Some notable panels that our team enjoyed listening to:
"AI-Powered Web3: The Path to Adoption" at the Hack Seasons Conference
The panellists:
🎙️ Evgeny Ponomarev (Fluence) – AI’s role in decentralized storage & compute
🎙️ Josh Benaron (Irys) – AI-driven automation & agent efficiency
🎙️ Clara Tsao (Filecoin) – AI-powered document retrieval & public data transparency
🎙️ Mark Rydon (Aethir) – AI in gaming & cloud computing
🎙️ Moderated by Dr. Asaf Nadler (Addressable ID)
Key insights from the discussion:
✅ AI is deeply integrated into Web3 projects – From automating research to optimizing development, AI is enhancing efficiency across industries.
✅ AI + Blockchain = The inevitable future –The decentralized nature of blockchain aligns perfectly with AI-driven automation, creating trustless, efficient ecosystems.
✅ The biggest challenge? Training AI on unbiased, decentralized data. -Many panelists emphasized the need for open-access AI models built on trusted, verifiable blockchain data.
✅ Institutions and startups alike are rapidly adopting AI –Some teams no longer use Google, instead relying entirely on AI tools for research, operations, and decision-making.
✅ Sovereign AI Agents? 🤯 – The concept of self-hosted, autonomous AI agents that choose where to execute their tasks and pay for their own resources is on the horizon.
🔥 The Verdict? AI and blockchain are not just complementary—they are on a collision course for mass adoption. The next five years will be pivotal, and Web3-native AI agents may become the new normal.

🔹 Hong Kong is emerging as a key RWA hub—with institutions, asset managers, and fintech firms all taking notice.
🔹 Custody & accessibility are major bottlenecks—wallet complexity and regulatory structures still need refinement.
🔹 Institutional demand is growing, but infrastructure, compliance, and integration remain key challenges.
🔹 On-chain investment is expanding beyond speculation—traditionally bank-driven investment strategies are moving on-chain.
🌍 RWA is no longer a niche—it's the next evolution of finance.
With these lineup of speakers, it’s clear that Hong Kong is becoming a global leader in RWA tokenization. As more real-world assets move on-chain, the market is rapidly maturing.
