Bitkub Capital Group Holdings Co., Ltd., led by Jirayut Topp Srupsrisopa, Founder and Group CEO, participated in the Southeast Asia Blockchain Week 2024 (SEABW 2024) as a panelist for the “Real World Asset Tokenization: Next Generation of Markets” topic. The panel discussed the future of markets with a focus on the tokenization of real-world assets. Renowned industry experts convened to delve into the transformative potential of asset tokenization and its implications for global financial ecosystems. The discussion was also contributed to by leaders in the blockchain and fintech space, including Eli Cohen (Centrifuge), Jeremy Ng (OpenEden), Jitendra Jaitawat (Helix), and Gerelmaa Georgina Batchuluun (ORDA).
The journey towards mainstream adoption is not without its challenges, particularly in regulatory compliance and standardization. Jirayut Topp Srupsrisopa highlighted that different countries and regions have varying legal frameworks, which can create complexity for businesses involved in asset tokenization. It is crucial to understand the specific regulatory requirements in each jurisdiction where the tokenized assets are offered, traded, or held.
Regulatory landscapes are constantly evolving, with new rules and guidelines being introduced or updated regularly. To stay compliant, stakeholders must monitor regulatory developments and adapt their strategies accordingly. It is essential for businesses to implement robust compliance programs and engage with regulatory authorities to ensure they are meeting their legal obligations.
Jirayut mentioned that the absence of industry-wide standards and best practices can lead to fragmentation and inefficiencies in the tokenized asset market. Establishing common standards and guidelines can help promote interoperability, reduce complexity, and facilitate mainstream adoption.
Jirayut also added that tokenization can serve as a catalyst for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) and sustainable investing. By promoting transparency and accountability in asset management, tokenization empowers investors to make informed decisions aligned with their values and sustainability goals. With the right strategies and collaborative efforts from industry players and regulators, the potential benefits of asset tokenization can be realized, paving the way for a more efficient, inclusive, and secure digital asset ecosystem.
SEABW’s spotlight on real-world asset tokenization underscores the pivotal role of blockchain technology in shaping the future of global markets. The insights shared by industry leaders pave the way for innovative solutions driving financial inclusion, sustainability, and economic empowerment on a global scale.
