Proud of our founder Ines Yong (@inesyongdao) for returning to the #MYBW stage for a 2nd year, discussing fractional ownership and RWAs. RWA has always been core to what Ark Labs builds, expect more use cases showcased at upcoming events.

Distribution Panel: Where is the market? Closed out the day with the million-dollar question: where does RWA demand actually come from. Moderated by Cole Goodwin, joined by Howie (@yowitzer) from elephants inc (@elephantsinc) , Jevon Cheng (@JevonCheng) from KDX (@KDXMalaysia) , Julius Kew from Rodller Capital (@RodllerOffice) , and Alan Hung (@Alanhung_zk3) from Canopy Finance (@canopydex) and KalqiX (@kalqix) . A candid look at who's buying, who's building the rails, and where distribution goes from here.

Keynote by Alan Hung (@Alanhung_zk3) , Founding Partner of Canopy (@canopydex) and KalqiX (@kalqix) The agentic stack for DEX trading. He broke down how AI-powered, agentic systems are reshaping decentralized trading, from execution to liquidity, and what that means for tokenized RWAs finding real, on-chain distribution.

Tokenization Panel : Data, compliance, and trust Tackled the trust layer of RWAs — what it takes to get data, compliance, and trust right. Moderated by Alvin Ng @AsianOnPulse , joined by John Kiew (@JohnKiewBD) from CertiK (@CertiK) , Ines Yong (@inesyongdao) from GEN (@GENPowered) and Wui Yang (@wuiyangee) from e23 (@e23_io) From smart contract security to institutional-grade infrastructure — the panel unpacked what makes a tokenized asset actually trustworthy.

Following keynote by Ines Yong, CEO of @GENPowered The open infrastructure for energy assets on-chain. She dove into how the data layer for RWAs actually gets built in the energy sector: turning real-world energy assets into verifiable, on-chain data that issuers and investors can actually trust.

Issuance panel topic : Structuring deals that can actually close Dug into what it actually takes to get an RWA deal across the line. Moderated by Cole Goodwin , joined by Chris Ling (@chrisling_dev) from No Limit Holdings (@nolimithodl), Victor Tan from Attribute Global Ventures (@attribute_gv), and Ji Sheng from Gambit Custody Builders and allocators trading war stories on what separates a deal that closes from one that doesn't.

First keynote by Ji Sheng, CEO of Gambit Custody As a subsidiary of Gambit Group, Gambit Custody is a licensed digital asset custody provider regulated by the Securities Commission Malaysia. He unpacked why the legal wrapper matters as much as the tokenization tech itself: without proper custody and legal structuring, RWAs can't hold up to institutional or regulatory scrutiny.

@ArkLabs_tech took the stage to open with the RWA Map, presented by Founder @inesyongdao Ines Yong A look at where the market stands today and where the infrastructure needs to go next: the RWA Blueprint.

We were honoured to open the day with our Guest of Honour, Mr Loo, COO of @sidecmy , who set the tone for the day , from why RWAs matter to how to scale them responsibly, drawing on Sidec's tokenX programme as a real-world blueprint for scaling tokenization.

RWA Gateway wrapped an incredible day of dialogue on the future of real-world asset tokenization, during Malaysia Blockchain Week @MalaysiaBCW From issuance, tokenization to distribution, the industry's builders, issuers, and allocators came together to map out what's next.

We've been building toward this moment for a while. Tomorrow, 12:30pm RWA Gateway opens. Get ready for this, and get in the room with the most insightful speakers around and who keen to explore RWA. luma.com/963amcti
