Roundtable 1: RWA Tokenization in APAC: Co-creating Harmonised Regulatory Frameworks for the $65B Digital Asset Revolution

Actionable Outcomes: Identify steps toward harmonised cross-border frameworks to enable mainstream adoption while protecting investors

This roundtable will examine the rapid evolution of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization across Asia-Pacific jurisdictions, where total value locked has surged to $65 billion in 2025. Participants, including key representatives from leading APAC financial authorities and industry innovators, will explore how regulators can collaboratively create harmonised frameworks that effectively balance innovation with robust investor protection as tokenization moves from pilot projects to mainstream institutional adoption. The discussion will focus on practical approaches to achieving cross-border interoperability, establishing institutional-grade infrastructure, and identifying regulatory models that have proven successful in pioneering jurisdictions like Thailand, Malaysia, and New Zealand. Participants will identify concrete steps toward a coordinated regional approach that could unlock the next wave of RWA growth while maintaining essential safeguards and market integrity.
