RWA: Bridging TradFi, Web3 & Tomorrow

Hello, hello, hello, good morning, good afternoon, now where you are in the world, a warm welcome to today's spaces. Now before we get underway, I will do a quick mic check from all of our guests. Let's start off with my good friends, cheeky, cryptoples. Hi Jamie, can you hear me? Yeah, loud and clear, great to be on the spaces again with you today, looking forward to today's discussion. Second, we'll check hippie land, please. Can you please check your mic? Hi, Jimmy. Thank you very much Ben, and finally, hopefully, it's gonna be working for hippie land. Perhaps you can check your mic, too, please. Hi, hi. Amazing, all right. Perfect. So, we're good to go. Let me set the scene. It's a great occasion today, because of course we're talking about blockchain for youth. Now of course, blockchain for youth has been something that we've been having around for a long period of time, but it's getting even more excited. It's exciting to see so many bright minds, builders and future leaders gathered here today and listening in the audience. Now, at bit yet, we firmly believe that the future of finance actually belongs to youth, and that is why I'm so proud to welcome you back to our blockchain for youth, our global initiative through resources like the Learning Hub, our mission is to equip the next generation with the tools that they need to truly understand the blockchain, digital finance, and frankly, the limitless opportunities are waiting in the world of Web 3. Now, this year our theme is to actually step into the real world, and we chose this message because the crypto space is undergoing a massive shift. Now, we've moved far from past of the days where crypto was just seen as a collection of abstract assets. Today, we're now looking at profound evolution towards broader financial and tangible real world applications that actually impact our day-to-day lives. Now, today is interesting, because we're talking about stepping into the real world, and it actually carries a powerful dual meaning. Now, first, the youth, of course, stepping beyond theory into practical, and then secondly, we're going to be talking about the blockchain evolution itself. Now, our way is to centerpiece of 2026 because it represents the ultimate bridge between traditional finance and Web 3 by tokenizing real world assets, whether that be real estate, commodities, or traditional securities. Now, here at bit yet, we are determined to help young people understand exactly how blockchain can fundamentally transform and upgrade real world financial systems and RWA proves that Web 3 isn't a parallel universe. It's actually something that can upgrade the world in which we live in today. OK, so that's the general set in the scene of today's discussion. I think it's time to hear some of our fantastic, fantastic guests. And I'd like to really come over, first of all, to Chiki Crypto and ask you, when you look at the current RWA landscape, which predictions have been validated and which areas of development have basically varied away from your expectations? Thanks, Jamie. I guess I would start talking about how we started Chiki Crypto in the respect that everything centered around real world utility. We were really focused on the next 10, 20 years of development when it comes to blockchain. And I remember back in 2020, we were talking about basically everything being tokenized and being placed on the blockchain. And at the time, you can imagine the resistance to that sort of mindset and the messages that we were receiving in the comments of the videos and stuff. But I think fast forward to today, we're seeing even accessibility for real world asset tokenization of securities, even being accessible to retail investors. So these are tried and tested financial products that are normally for sophisticated investors that have a high net worth or are qualified to be able to make these types of investments. And they're now being tokenized, fractionalized. And there's a huge opportunity. I think you mentioned limitless opportunity in the intro. And yeah, that's something that we've been echoing for a long time with Chiki Crypto. So I think we're broadly on the way there. I think the speed of which it's being implemented has kind of exceeded our expectations. Knick them yourself. We're thinking it would be sort of later than 2030. And I think this shows how far we've come. I think the regulations and the clarity, they're almost there now. So I think the adoption curve is going to be quicker than we were perhaps anticipating. Yeah, and I think you touched on some of the details of your mindset, your values. Could you, for those of people that might not have heard of Chiki Crypto, can you just give us a high level of views to what you guys do, your main key values and where they can find you on other platforms? Sure. So we started the YouTube channel, Chiki Crypto. We have Chiki Crypto Education, which is just purely fundamental analysis of different blockchains so you can learn about all the different types of layers that there are to blockchain, the different types of programming language, and even about the actual assets themselves, what they do, what their missions are, the team, all that sort of stuff. So I mean, focus has really been around education. But when we started out, it was really about just documenting Nick, who's my brother, the co-founder of Chiki Crypto. And mine are our actual experience of investing. And basically, we set it up with, I guess we fell into the influence of space, really, because we set it up really just to document our journey. And it just morphed into something much bigger when we realized that there was so many people interested in what we were talking about. So yeah, I mean, everything for our channel is really centered around real world assets, openization, everything being tokenized and put on the blockchain. And what that really means to not just the youth, just everybody, particularly retail investors, the ability to be able to invest in the same assets as the ultra-wealthy. And then we're talking about the likes of Jeff Bezos, the Elon Musk, Donald Trump, just to list a few people. You could, in essence, in the future, put 10% of your network into the same assets that these individuals are put in 10% of their network into. And that really does, for me, at least, level the playing field. So for me, it's a really exciting time because we're in the impency phase of the technology and the implementation. And what this means is, we've got a huge opportunity to build generational level wealth. And I think that is something that is really, really exciting. I mean, I'm a father. And one of the big priorities for me is to leave a lot of assets and, I guess, finance, good finance in place for my kids. So they don't have to go through the struggles that I perhaps went through. Yeah, I mean, that's a really noble level of state, as well. Building for a better future, providing those educational assets is something that I'm passionate about, big get, of course, passionate about. And I know you've been passionate about that for some time. So thank you very much for your time. Looking forward to your third discussions during today's session. Now I want to bring up Eleanor because I think it's really interesting from your perspective. First of all, give it a bit of a background as to who you are. But from your perspective and the perspective of stocks and traditional assets, what signals show that tokenization is actually becoming more than just an experiment? Hello, everyone. I'm Eleanor and I'm in charge of the growth part in big get. So at this question, I want to share a little bit of my thoughts. And as we can see, that traditional financial asset, like the US stocks, ETFs, and also about CFDs, they are facing the pain point of the high threshold and the loan settlement cycle, right? Because really, they can only get cash like one day or two day after you sell the stocks or the commodities. And actually the tokenized assets, right now, we can see every B-C-X and both as the NASDAQ and NYIC. They are moving on to give more US stock tokens for the global transition, right? So actually, this means a lot for our, before, I think RWA is like real-world asset on-chain. It's just a concept, right? It's a concept from the, you know, we can learn from the articles. But right now it's like to move to the last large scale lending to our real life. And everybody now can trade US stocks on each CFDs and both as a traditional trading app, like the Robinhood and other Coinbase, right? So I think the tokenized stocks right now is trying to change the whole financial world. And actually, we can see, before, we didn't see a lot of the money amount from this part of the users. But right now, I see this is really big market because as we can estimate, this market maybe can bring tens of trainings of dollars to the traditional financial world, right? So it sounds like maybe from now, it's just a small step for what we have, what we saw about the tokenized world. But as we, as the future, as we estimate it from big debt, we can see like US is the future. And everybody can trade everything. It's real and good asset, right? So it needs to be trade in different form. So tokenized assets is a future, it's my thought, right? Okay.
