OpenEden

RWA was a major focus at the Seoul Digital Money Summit last week.

"RWAs don’t scale because they’re tokenized. They scale when the structure behind them is institutional-grade."

Our Head of Strategy, Stephanie Chew, shared her view onstage with speakers from Galaxy, SOOHO.IO, and 21X, at the summit attended by Korea’s leading financial institutions and digital asset builders.

How to Rethink Yield in 1 Day

Tokenization isn’t just about putting assets on-chain. It’s about how capital is managed once it’s there.  

Think of it less as a product, and more as a portfolio. 

More tomorrow.

Our partner BNY’s launch of tokenized deposit services highlights the growing adoption of on-chain cash infrastructure by institutions. 
 
As the investment manager and custodian of the TBILL Fund, tokenized by OpenEden and rated AA+ by S&P Global, BNY plays a key role in enabling regulated, on-chain access to high-quality assets. 
 
We look forward to further collaboration as cash and assets move on-chain. 

Moody’s 2026 Digital Finance Outlook points to the digitization of core market infrastructure, cash, funds, settlement, and liquidity, becoming foundational to global finance. 

For RWAs, scale requires regulated, interoperable infrastructure where assets can be issued, held, settled, and used as one system. That’s the focus at OpenEden. 

Not every asset should be tokenized, and institutions know it. 
 
In his latest opinion piece for @BlockheadSG , our Founder and CEO Jeremy Ng breaks down where RWAs are gaining real demand and traction, and why yield, efficiency, and balance-sheet logic matter more than narrative.
