Bridging the Trillion: Institutional RWA Tokenization Meets DeFi Liquidity

This event brings institutional issuers and DeFi protocol leaders to examine what it will take to unlock the trillion in onchain RWAs. Join us on May 21st at 17:00 for an extraordinary evening of insights and innovation at the University of Zurich, as DeFiAM colaborates with Smart Contracts Lab (SCL) and UZH Blockchain Center. Tokenized real-world assets have crossed from experiment to early infrastructure — but the path from today's ~$25B onchain to the trillion-dollar opportunity that issuers, regulators, and protocols are now openly discussing runs through different layers of the stack. This event brings together different perspectives on the same question — what does it actually take to scale tokenized RWAs? Expect a tight, debate-driven format: short framing talks from each speaker, followed by a moderated panel built around the real tensions in the space — permissioned vs. permissionless flows, where the next $100B comes from, and what "institutional-grade" actually means onchain. For allocators, builders, issuers, and policymakers serious about where tokenized finance is going.
