RWA Happy Hour in Hong Kong

Last month, the Real World Asset Happy Hour event in Hong Kong brought together? multiple players from the industry to chat and network about the future of real-world assets in the crypto world. We had a great time meeting our community and sharing thoughts on how tokenizing assets could change the finance game.

We're happy that we could create a relaxed and friendly environment, which sparked plenty of idea-sharing and engaging discussions. We also met up with a dozen of projects that are in contact with us for potential collaboration. Overall, it was a fun and insightful evening for everyone.

For investors, it offers a new way to diversify portfolios and access previously out-of-reach assets due to high costs or regulatory barriers.?
