The summit featured 4 core roundtables, focusing on in-depth discussions around cutting-edge industry topics. Here are some highlights and insights from the guests:

Roundtable Discussion 1: AiFi: On-chain Finance and Real Returns

Host: Keira (MH Venture Portfolio Manager)

Guest Opinion:

  • Kony pointed out that in the AI era, the real profits mainly flow to underlying computing power assets, such as cloud service providers and data centers. Ordinary investors find it difficult to participate directly and can usually only get involved indirectly by purchasing stocks of related companies. They are promoting the financialization and tokenization of these computing assets, allowing investors to participate directly and share in the profits.

  • Kartik stated that their computing power market, which is based on computing resources as collateral, will proportionally distribute the actual income generated from users renting GPUs to participants. This mechanism is based on real customers and transactions, inherently possessing the attribute of "real yield," providing sustainable and low-cost support for projects that require economic security.

  • Felix emphasizes that "composability" is key for crypto systems to surpass traditional centralized models. By modularizing financial and incentive components, they facilitate the free combination of new assets and protocols, aiding the efficient collaboration and accelerated implementation of RWA and computing resources in the Web3 ecosystem.

  • Seb pointed out that they are a key bridge connecting Web2 and Web3, having built a "pay-per-use" mechanism that ensures every party in the ecosystem participates based on real needs, thus forming a sustainable computing power network driven by corporate clients with an on-chain revenue closed loop.

Roundtable Discussion 2: Unlocking RWA Value: The Innovative Path of On-Chain Assets

Host: Johanna (IDG Capital Web3 Investment)

Guest Opinions:

  • Jeremy proposed that they have launched a stable asset backed by U.S. Treasury yields, with plans to further expand to emerging market users and to facilitate access to high-quality U.S. dollar assets through cryptocurrency wallets.

  • Jing pointed out that now is the best time to engage in RWA, as global regulation is forming a crucial framework period. The industry should actively participate in shaping the financial rules for the next five to ten years. Product and market demand have fully matured, and a product they recently launched even received Sharia compliance certification from Saudi Arabia, demonstrating the localization capability and real user attraction of RWA products in regional markets.

  • Jack emphasized that now is the golden period for bringing various new assets onto the blockchain. As the position of the crypto market in the global financial system becomes increasingly solid, more and more "non-technical" financial professionals hope to leverage crypto technology to drive asset innovation. He hopes that the future of the crypto market can transform into a "democratized capital market," promoting the integration of public and private markets and breaking down investment barriers.

Roundtable Discussion 3: DeFi Liquidity and RWA Value: New Opportunities in On-chain Finance

Host: Lionel Pek (Spartan Group Executive Director)

Guest's opinion:

  • Ivan pointed out that compared to traditional markets, the "capital usage cost" of DeFi is more flexible. From an ETH perspective, users earn additional returns through staking; from a USD perspective, the capital volatility caused by ETH's own fluctuations needs to be considered. Therefore, they support stablecoins as pre-stored assets to help users hedge against ETH's volatility risk, thereby reducing overall capital costs.

  • Martin calls on the industry to promote a unified risk control and asset pricing system, and urges support for cross-asset, cross-chain collateralization and liquidity mechanisms (cross-margining), to facilitate the capital release and scaling of RWA.

  • Omar emphasized that DeFi liquidity can essentially be viewed as a "new type of venture capital" that can activate underlying assets with high potential that have not yet been fully discovered and financed. Through DeFi, small amounts of capital can be quickly mobilized to activate application scenarios such as market making and warehouse leasing, while also reducing the overall capital volatility of the industry.

Round Table Discussion 4: AI Ecosystem: Building a True Future Foundation

Host: Mackenzie (Animoca Brands Portfolio Manager)

Guest Opinions:

  • Katerina stated that they focus on addressing the issue of the current AI industry being dominated by large centralized companies and the lack of compensation for data contributors. They aim to break the status quo of "silent contribution," allowing developers, small teams, and individual users to fairly participate in the value distribution of the AI lifecycle, promoting a more open and equitable AI economy.

  • Lei Lei pointed out that blockchain and smart contracts can introduce governance and audit mechanisms for AI systems, such as Service Level Agreements (SLA), scoring mechanisms, dispute resolution processes, and even explore behavior-based "insurance and penalty mechanisms". These mechanisms will make the behavior of AI agents more controllable, traceable, and verifiable, but emphasize the importance of privacy protection, requiring a balance between the verifiability of model training data and user privacy.

  • Christian emphasized that blockchain naturally possesses the advantages of "open participation" and "economic accessibility," allowing individual users or non-institutional investors to engage earlier in AI-related protocols and projects, sharing the economic dividends brought by technological growth. Unlike traditional AI giants, Web3 projects have achieved fairer investment opportunities through on-chain issuance.

With the global discussion around RWA, AI, and Decentralized Finance heating up, the RWAiFi Summit 2025 has become an important platform for promoting AI innovation. This event once again highlights the industry's commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with unlocking the future of decentralized finance.

The most basic zk-SNARKs haven't been implemented, and the front-end data is fully exposed.
