Tokenization is no longer theoretical — the conversation in Asia has shifted from experimentation to real market infrastructure.
At SEABW 2026, @libeara_ Founder & CEO Aaron Gwak, @wanrob_boontham of TDX, and Jim Lee of Forest Jarlan discussed what it actually takes to move tokenized assets from pilot programs into functioning capital markets.
Moderated by @equanimist of ShardLab, the panel explored where liquidity still breaks down, how institutional-grade infrastructure is evolving, and why the next phase of tokenization will be defined by distribution, compliance, and scalable market structure — not just technology.
The infrastructure race for Asia’s tokenized future is already underway.
