I think Trump and Xi read this
@Presto_Research report and said we gotta get ahead of this.
Just a teaser summary:
A multi-trillion-dollar opportunity: Tokenized real-world assets have grown from $85 million in 2020 to over $30 billion on public chains, while stablecoins now carry $320 billion in market cap and processed $33.4 trillion in on-chain volume in 2025. Tokenized assets are projected to reach $9.4 trillion by 2030, with Asia positioned as the fastest-growing region for both RWA and stablecoin adoption.
Asia’s regulatory inflection point: A convergence of regulatory developments has created a window of opportunity. Hong Kong issued its first two stablecoin licenses in April 2026, China clarified a regulated pathway for offshore RWA tokenization of domestic assets, and Singapore’s Project Guardian has progressed from experimentation toward live institutional pilots. These moves unlock trillions in previously inaccessible Asian assets for tokenized global capital markets.
Conflux’s strategic positioning: Conflux Network (
@Conflux_Network) occupies a niche that no other major blockchain fills. It is the only compliance-friendly public blockchain in mainland China with a live PayFi stack, the first AFSA-approved offshore RMB stablecoin (AxCNH), USDT0 integration, and partnerships with Ant Digital Technologies and China Telecom. Its ambition is to become the primary blockchain settlement rail for China’s $3.3 trillion Belt and Road trade corridor and Hong Kong’s emerging tokenized asset infrastructure.
Execution progress: Key milestones include the March 2025 launch of a green energy battery-swapping RWA project in China (596 stations, 15,000 batteries), a 500-million
$CFX ecosystem fund for PayFi, the BitUnion prepaid card accepted in 183 countries via UnionPay International, the November 2025 integration of USDT0, and April 2026 support for XAUT0 extending Conflux’s settlement stack from stablecoins into tokenized gold.
Big thanks to
@Presto_Research for covering the Conflux ecosystem and the growing opportunity around stablecoins, RWAs, and PayFi in Asia.
