The Real-World Asset Summit returns to Singapore on November 17.
In Brooklyn this September, the Real-World Asset Summit welcomed a record number of new attendees from across institutional and onchain finance. As tokenization continues to attract a growing institutional audience, we’re bringing that same bridge-building mission to Asia.
In partnership with GFTN, the organizer of Singapore FinTech Festival, the Real-World Asset Summit Singapore 2026 will take place at Marina Bay Sands during the Insights2040 Annual Meetings, bringing together leaders across institutional finance, government, and technology.
Applications to attend, speak, and partner are now open.
"In the future, there won't be decentralized finance and traditional finance. It will just be finance." – @itsbhaji, CEO, @centrifuge
On September 1 & 2, 350+ senior leaders came together at the Real-World Asset Summit Brooklyn 2026 with one focus: realizing the $30 trillion tokenization opportunity.
The result: rich conversations between some of the industry’s most influential voices, with real timelines and commitments for what comes next.
Thank you to every attendee, speaker, and partner who made our flagship event one for the tokenization history books.

The S&P 500 is the benchmark most equity portfolios are measured against.
At @rwasummit, Cathy Clay of @SPDJIndices explained how the firm is helping define how that benchmark translates onchain, without changing what gives it credibility in the first place.
In the early days of DeFi, a good APY was enough to deploy capital.
Today, the industry has matured, institutional capital is moving onchain, and yield is no longer at the top of the list.
Mellow's founder @s0xn1ck shared his thoughts on what matters more at @rwasummit.
"Tokenized equities" can mean many things. At Superstate, it means the real, actual shares of a public company, only onchain.
Not a new asset pretending to be an old one. The real asset, upgraded.
@rleshner explains at @rwasummit.
What separates vault curators from fund managers?
@PeiChen01 shared why non-custodial vaults give depositors more control and clear boundaries. Great conversation at the @rwasummit along with @Bitwise and @Surus_io.
Appreciate @TuongvyLe12 (@veda_labs) moderating!
Customization has always been an operational overlay around a portfolio.
@ThomasGSy of @NYLIManagement makes the case that programming those operations into the asset itself is what turns customization into a scalable model.
With Elizabeth Yenko and @itsbhaji at @RWAsummit.
Opaque or fragmented information makes institutional due diligence harder.
Sky Ecosystem is addressing that friction with verifiable collateral data & reporting.
At @rwasummit, @John__Conneely explained that approach alongside leaders from @raincards, @dakota_xyz and @Paxos ↓
Finance is going onchain, but which chain?
The answer from @rajachak75's session at @rwasummit this morning: an institutional-grade network is one that's open within its own ecosystem, not just interoperable with other chains on paper.
All right, stop! Collaborate and listen (to the verified data). 🎤
Great discussion about the criticality of accurate data and secure infrastructure at the @rwasummit alongside leaders from @FTSERussell, @moodysratings, and the @AIMA_org.
Smart contracts can transform how financial markets operate, but accurate data and secure infrastructure must be the foundation. This is always a top priority for @chainlink.
Word to your mother(board). 🎤
Spent Day 1 at @rwasummit in Brooklyn talking real-world assets with some of the sharpest people in the space.
We're grateful to be featured on the mainstage and looking forward to Day 2.
