RWAfi Ecological Indicator Symposium: Interpreting the Bottlenecks and Potential of RWA

In this dialogue, the three guests provided a profound analysis of the current opportunities and challenges in the RWAfi ecosystem from different perspectives: they not only discussed how the tokenization of real assets reshapes the core logic of TradFi, but also revealed the bottlenecks in technology, compliance, and market acceptance in this field. By combining real case studies and future trends, the guests outlined the potential blueprint of RWAfi in accelerating global asset liquidity and promoting capital efficiency.

(Background: BTC legend Adam Back comes to Taiwan: TradFi and BTC intersect at a critical point, RWA has unlimited potential) (Background: A comprehensive view of the global RWATokenization: key players and future trends) In 2024, RWA (Real World Assets) became a hot topic in the Web3 world. As a bridge between real assets and blockchain technology, RWA provides new possibilities for asset on-chain. However, in this crypto market known for high returns and speculative assets, RWA's attractiveness still faces challenges. Compared to native Web3 assets, RWA's returns seem relatively 'conservative,' and its stable returns appear less attractive compared to speculative tokens that can quickly double. However, those who truly understand RWA know that its value is far more than just stable long-term returns. The core potential of RWA lies in its ability to drive the digital transformation of real assets, injecting more trust-based assets into Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and shaping a new economic order in the Web3 world. In order to address resistance and unleash the true potential of RWA, RealtyX has partnered with several top projects in the RWA field to launch a movement that combines RWA with Decentralized Finance Depth - the MTR RWAfi Movement. This movement, driven by innovation and education, explores new possibilities for RWAfi (RWA + Decentralized Finance) through collaboration with leading projects in the industry and blockchain platforms. To inject sparks of thought collision into the industry, the first discussion will focus on 'Mapping the RWAfi Ecosystem,' delving into the combinability potential of RWA and Decentralized Finance, laying the foundation for future ecological development. From discussion to implementation, the RWAfi Movement is redefining the intersection of real assets and Decentralized Finance, leading the industry towards a future with more trust, efficiency, and long-term value. This discussion was hosted by Jade, the head of strategy at RealtyX, and co-hosted by the Plume Blockchain team, inviting heavyweight guests including Teddy, co-founder and CBO of Plume, PG, founder of Polytrade, and Clair, CEO of Perptual Futures protocol Silver Koi. The discussion was conducted in English, and the following is a summary and translation of the core content. Compiled by Sanqing, a contributor to the RealtyX DAO community. Jade (RealtyX): Hello everyone! I'm Jade from RealtyX, and I'm delighted to welcome you all to our first MTR seminar and AMA discussion. Today's theme is 'Exploring the RWAfi Ecosystem,' and I will be the host of this discussion. Before we begin, I'd like to briefly introduce the meaning of 'MTR': 1. First, it stands for 'Most Trusted and Rewarding RWAfi,' reflecting our commitment to building an influential ecosystem of real assets and Decentralized Finance. 2. Secondly, 'MTR' is also the name of the Hong Kong subway system. We pay tribute to Hong Kong because RealtyX was born in Hong Kong and is currently a member of the Hong Kong Cyberport Incubation Program. The MTR subway system is the best metaphor for our efforts to promote development and enhance connectivity in the RWA field. Next, we are fortunate to have several industry pioneers and innovators with us, who come from Plume Network, Silver Koi, and Polytrade. Let's start with a brief introduction of each guest and their project. Teddy (Plume Network): Hello everyone, I'm Teddy, and I'm thrilled to participate in today's discussion. Plume is a permissionless EVM network focused on the RWA field, with core goals including tooling, facilitating asset distribution, and enhancing asset composability. We are dedicated to bringing new users into the RWAfi ecosystem, unlocking trading and liquidity opportunities for them, and we are leveraging these excellent projects on Twitter Spaces today to achieve this goal. Once again, thank you for the invitation, and I look forward to the upcoming discussion! Claire (Silver Koi): Hello everyone, I'm Claire, and Silver Koi is the first Decentralized Exchange (Equities Perp DEX) that supports Perptual Futures for stocks. It may sound a bit complex, but it's actually very simple. We allow users to trade Perptual Futures of stocks, commodities, forex, and other assets on one platform, providing up to 200x leverage while maintaining low funding rates and low slippage. Our goal is to provide users with an efficient and cost-effective trading experience. PG (Polytrade): Thank you, Jade! I'm delighted to participate in this discussion today. I have a deep connection with MTR (Hong Kong subway) because I've spent a significant part of my life in Hong Kong. So, I really love everything about it. I am the founder and CEO of Polytrade. Polytrade has quickly become one of the world's largest RWA asset trading markets and is soon transitioning into the RWA center. Our concept is very simple. Just as teams like Plume are building infrastructure to help more users and projects enter the RWAfi ecosystem, our work is to build front-end or DApps that seamlessly integrate with the entire ecosystem, allowing users to interact effortlessly. In other words, users on Polytrade can complete all RWA-related operations such as tokenization, asset management, indices, loans, etc., without leaving the platform. We position Polytrade as a super app for RWA, which is our current core goal. Jade (RealtyX & Host): Fantastic, our RWA scene today can be said to be all-encompassing. Great! Let's move on to the first question, but let's focus on the RWA part first, and then delve into the RWAfi ecosystem in more depth. Over the past year, RWA...
