RWAiFi Summit 2025 has become an important platform for promoting AI innovation.

Hosted by GAIB, Plume, and StakeStone, the RWAiFi Summit 2025 successfully concluded on April 30 during Token2049 in Dubai.

The summit attracted over 1,900 registrants and more than 400 participants, gathering 17 top projects, including OpenLedger, Sahara AI, Aethir, Solv, Kite AI, Lagrange, Symbiotic, OpenEden, Maple Finance, Mind Network, ICN Protocol, Tranchess, Balloon, and several leading investment institutions such as Hack VC, Spartan Group, Animoca Brands, MH Ventures, Bullish, CMCC Global, L2 Iterative Ventures, along with numerous global AI experts and financial innovators to discuss the future of AI, RWA, and DeFi.

Event Highlights:

The summit featured four core roundtable discussions that delved into cutting-edge industry topics. Below are some highlights and insights from the guests:

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

Moderator: Keira (MH Venture Portfolio Manager)

Guests:

• Kony (GAIB CEO) pointed out that in the AI era, real yields primarily flow to underlying computing assets, such as cloud service providers and data centers, making it difficult for ordinary investors to participate directly, who usually can only engage indirectly by purchasing stocks of companies like Nvidia. GAIB is promoting the financialization and tokenization of such computing assets, allowing investors to participate directly and share in the yields.

• Kartik (Aethir Strategy Lead) stated that Aethir's computing resource-backed market allows users to rent GPUs, with actual income generated being proportionally distributed 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 requiring economic security.

• Felix (Symbiotic Head of Ecosystem) emphasized that "composability" is key for crypto systems to surpass traditional centralized models. Through modular financial and incentive components, Symbiotic facilitates 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 (Impossible Cloud Network Managing Director) noted that ICN is a crucial bridge connecting Web2 and Web3, establishing a "pay-per-use" mechanism that ensures every party in the ecosystem participates based on real demand, thus forming a sustainable computing network driven by enterprise customers with an on-chain revenue closed loop.

Roundtable Discussion 2: Unlocking RWA Value: The Path to On-chain Asset Innovation

Moderator: Johanna (IDG Capital Web3 Investment)

Guests:

• Jeremy (OpenEden CEO) proposed that OpenEden has launched stable assets supported by U.S. Treasury yields, with plans to further expand to emerging market users and facilitate access to high-quality dollar assets through crypto wallets.
• Jing (Solv CBO) pointed out that now is the best time to engage in RWA, as global regulations are forming critical frameworks, and the industry should actively participate in shaping financial rules for the next five to ten years, with product and market demand fully matured. A recent product launched by Solv even received Sharia compliance certification from Saudi Arabia, showcasing the localization capabilities and real user appeal of RWA products in regional markets.
• Jack (Plume Ecosystem) emphasized that now is a golden period for bringing various new assets on-chain, as the crypto market's position 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 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

Moderator: Lionel Pek (Spartan Group Executive Director)

Guests:

• Ivan (Stakestone CMO) pointed out that compared to traditional markets, DeFi's "capital usage cost" is more flexible. From an ETH perspective, users earn additional yields through staking; from a dollar perspective, one must consider the capital volatility brought by ETH itself. To this end, Stakestone supports stablecoins as pre-deposited assets to help users hedge against ETH volatility, thereby reducing overall capital costs.
• Martin (Maple Head of Growth) called for the industry to promote a unified risk control and asset pricing system and urged support for cross-asset, cross-chain collateral and liquidity mechanisms (cross-margining) to drive the capital release and scaling of RWA.
• Omar (Lagrange CSO) emphasized that DeFi liquidity can essentially be viewed as a "new type of venture capital," capable of activating high-potential but under-discovered and under-financed underlying assets. Through DeFi, small capital can be quickly mobilized to activate applications such as market making and warehousing leasing, while also reducing overall capital volatility in the industry.

Roundtable Discussion 4: AI Ecosystem: Building a Truly Future Foundation

Moderator: Mackenzie (Animoca Brands Portfolio Manager)

Guests:

• Katerina (Sahara Operations Lead) stated that Sahara focuses on addressing the issue of large centralized companies dominating the current AI industry, where data contributors lack compensation. 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 (KiteAI VP) pointed out that blockchain and smart contracts can introduce governance and audit mechanisms to AI systems, such as service level agreements (SLAs), scoring mechanisms, and dispute resolution processes, even exploring behavior-based "insurance and penalty mechanisms." These mechanisms will make the behavior of AI agents more controllable, traceable, and verifiable, while emphasizing the importance of privacy protection, needing to find a balance between the verifiability of model training data and user privacy.
• Christian (Mind Network CEO) emphasized that blockchain inherently possesses advantages of "open participation" and "economic accessibility," allowing individual users or non-institutional investors to participate in AI-related protocols and projects earlier and share in the economic dividends brought by technological growth. Unlike traditional AI giants like OpenAI and Anthropic, Web3 projects achieve fairer investment opportunities through on-chain issuance.

As global discussions around RWA, AI, and DeFi continue to heat up, RWAiFi Summit 2025 has become an important platform for promoting AI innovation. This event once again highlights GAIB's commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology with unlocking the future of decentralized finance.
