Luxury and high end experiences always come with one recurring challenge that has plagued high-end consumers and service providers alike: the financial losses incurred from non-refundable bookings. If you’ve seen Taylor Swift in concert, the ability to book a great table at the newest restaurant or asked for upscale accommodations on your last trip, you understand the cost (and risk) these purchases have.  \ Enter Tony Abrams, a visionary leader who has transitioned from the entertainment industry, with shows like The West Wing and Sex and the City, to founding Stellar — a new platform designed to tackle this exact issue. With the Stellar launch, Abrams created a secondhand market for exclusive experiences, ensuring that investments in luxury are both rewarding and risk-free. Your journey from the entertainment industry to founding Stellar is fascinating. Could you share a bit about your background and how it led to the creation of Stellar? Tony Abrams: Absolutely. I started my career in entertainment production, working on shows like The West Wing and Sex and the City. While it was an exciting field, I soon realized my passion lay in creating and curating unique experiences. This led me to establish Four Hundred, an exclusive lifestyle management firm that caters to high-net-worth individuals. The insights and experiences I gained there highlighted a significant pain point in the luxury market: the financial losses due to non-refundable and non-cancelable bookings. This was the spark that ignited the idea for Stellar. Stellar aims to solve a critical issue in the luxury market. Can you tell us more about the platform and its key features? Tony Abrams: Stellar is designed to be the ultimate backup plan for anyone investing in unique experiences. Whether it's a dream vacation, exclusive event tickets, or a high-end dining reservation, plans can change unexpectedly. With Stellar, users can share, transfer, or sell their non-refundable and non-cancelable reservations, ensuring they don't lose their investment. The platform connects sellers and buyers, curates the listings to attract interest, and handles the transaction process seamlessly. What makes Stellar unique compared to other platforms in the market? Tony Abrams: The unique aspect of Stellar is its focus on a secondhand market specifically for high-end, non-refundable experiences. While there are general resale platforms, none cater exclusively to the luxury market. We also prioritize user experience by ensuring the platform is intuitive and reliable.  Additionally, our commitment to social responsibility, through our partnership with the Stars Align Foundation, sets us apart. A portion of every transaction on Stellar supports initiatives focused on children's well-being, women's rights, racial equality, and environmental sustainability. The recent Luxury Experience Insights Report conducted by Stellar revealed some intriguing findings. Can you share some key insights from the survey? Tony Abrams: Certainly. One of the most significant findings was that 30% of luxury consumers have experienced financial losses due to non-refundable bookings in the last two years. This underscores the need for a platform like Stellar. The survey also showed that 80.25% of respondents are comfortable using technology to enhance their luxury experiences, and 55.36% prioritize upscale accommodations when allocating their budget. These insights validate the demand for flexible, tech-driven solutions in the luxury market. With the launch of Stellar, what are your immediate goals and long-term vision for the platform? Tony Abrams: In the immediate term, our goal is to build a robust user base and establish Stellar as the go-to platform for managing high-end, non-refundable bookings. Long-term, we aim to expand our offerings, incorporate more features based on user feedback, and continuously enhance the user experience. We envision Stellar becoming synonymous with luxury experience management, providing unparalleled value to both sellers and buyers. As a leader with over two decades of experience in the luxury market, what advice would you give to aspiring entrepreneurs looking to enter this space? Tony Abrams: My advice would be to deeply understand the needs and pain points of your target audience. In the luxury market, clients expect excellence and exclusivity. Building strong relationships, maintaining high standards, and being innovative are crucial. Always be ready to adapt to changing trends and leverage technology to enhance your offerings. Most importantly, stay committed to your vision and be passionate about delivering exceptional value.

From Sex and the City to the Luxury Experience Market: Tony Abrams on Stellar Launch

Welcome to HackerNoon’s Writing Prompts! Would you like to take a stab at answering some of these questions? The link for the template is HERE. THE LIST is a luxury fashion marketplace powered by <GENESYS>, an AI-based API developed in-house. THE LIST allows the world’s best boutiques and brands to run AI-driven catalog production at current 810x cost efficiency vs. traditional product catalog production, enabling retailers to sell in 190 countries with integration time in single-digit days. THE LIST was founded by Andreas Skorski and has offices in New York City and Dubai. 1. What is your company in 2–5 words? Luxury fashion powered by AI. 2. Why is now the time for your company to exist? Luxury ecommerce has imploded in the last year or so (Financial Times, NYT). This is not an understatement. Online marketplaces for luxury brands are weighed down by incredibly high costs: tech development, catalog production, shipping, and data architecture. The tech behind luxury fashion marketplaces is 10 years behind and extremely inefficient. Even with margins of 50%, these marketplaces can’t make it work. That said, the market for luxury is not going anywhere.We built The List to showcase what the next stage of e-commerce is: that AI can operate a luxury fashion marketplace. We are building the largest LLM library in the industry to eliminate some of the market’s critical operational inefficiencies. Our AI-based API, <GENESYS> is the first viable, market-tested AI solution in the luxury industry, and powers other major retailers as well. Our machine learning API transforms any in-store retail product into a catalog in real-time by mapping ERP (enterprise resource planning) data, extracting attributes, and enriching data from images,  producing dozens of relevant data points  to describe it as such. It doesn’t just see a photo of a shoe. It understands the height of the heel, the fact that it’s suede, the exact color, the seasons it can be worn in. It’s 98.9% accurate and working for hundreds of thousands of products in real-time. 3. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? Many of our data scientists previously worked for a competitor or the biggest global retail brands. They see how the future of e-commerce could look like and want to actually build something that operates at the same level AI really operates today, having efficiency as the number 1 priority in mind. The cost of getting a single product (SKU) into a catalog can be up to $80 per SKU. It’s fairly common for marketplaces to add 100,000 new SKUs to their sites weekly, so our competitors are burning a ton of cash every week. Our team has been watching, training, and guiding our own model of catalog production for years. Our cost is now down to less than 10 cents per SKU. So the team is remarkably goal-oriented and determined to find solutions to problems they personally experienced as data scientists in the industry. 4. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? Probably building some other startup. When I was 17 I created the first ad scanner technology for print magazines in Germany. Since then I haven’t really stopped. 5. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your metrics? We are a software-focused retail marketplace, so we look at both the retail success of our marketplace and the efficiency of our <GENESYS> API. For us it is all about giving a top-class experience to our customers while driving down costs for our suppliers. From a software POV: Accuracy rate of our LLMs — how often is human intervention needed?


Items scanned – SKUs processed per month by our API


Integration time – how long does it take for a retailer to put their products on The List? From a retail POV we are looking at: Gross Merchandise Value
Customers and their stickiness
Suppliers and their stickiness 6. In a few sentences, what do you offer to whom? If you buy luxury fashion: You can expect to find all your favorite brands on The List at the best possible price globally available, enabled through <GENESYS>. If you are a decision maker at a company that sells luxury fashion: You can expect the fastest integration time globally available with no engineering cost involved from your side, market-tested AI-based catalog production, and related AI-driven efficiencies in marketing, shipping, and pricing. If there is an inefficiency in the value chain we are likely already working on the models to fix it. 7. What’s most exciting about your traction to date? Luxury fashion is perfect for data scientists to train a model. It’s very fast moving and changes all the time. There’s seasonality in collections, now even more with capsule collections. And the more variations you feed into a model, the faster it learns. We started out years ago, and at the time, AI-driven efficiencies were not hot. The progress of LLMs on the market has accelerated interest in what we do, which is very exciting. You can do a lot with open source models, but you have an advantage if you already have a database that you’ve been training with your own models and scanning millions of data points. Tens of thousands of customers have validated our AI with their purchases.  It’s gratifying to be getting traction now with suppliers and other major players in the industry. 8. Where do you think your growth will be next year? We are going to scale our direct to consumer marketplace growth this year in more markets while  also building out our platform business with our b2b customers. 9. Tell us about your first paying customer and revenue expectations over the next year. We had our first paying customer years ago! We’re pivoting. 10. What’s your biggest threat? Our biggest threat is a general bearishness in the luxury market at the moment. Retailers are skittish about investing in multi brand marketplaces after what has happened to our competitors. They’re looking at finding better solutions, but there is still a lot of education to be done in the AI space to showcase it is already a commercially viable and operating solution and not just a dream of the future. Our task is to convince them that marketplaces aren’t the problem; it’s just that they need to be better and evolve. The List is the next evolution of how to operate e-commerce 2.0 in luxury fashion.

Tech Behind Luxury Fashion Marketplaces is 10 Years Behind, Says The List Founder Andreas Skorski

"Money rules the world," they say. I challenge this notion, asserting that it's not solely about money but the individuals who wield it. It always starts within. Throughout history, money has been entangled with power, influence, unique opportunities, and luxurious lifestyles, often clustering in the hands of a select few, creating an aura of exclusivity in society. How often have we witnessed the relentless pursuit of success and wealth overshadowing people's vision, causing them to forsake what is genuinely meaningful—their inner purpose, authenticity, and pride —in the frantic race for success and its trappings? Flashy things, expensive brands, lavish lifestyle demonstrated on social media – what’s the cost for it? In a world powered by “successful success” and social media domination, there are the ones who dare to say, “I am not trying to chase luxury. I am the luxury.” The Luxury of Being Yourself and Cherishing Your Inner Self The Ugly Duck (TUD) art collectible creators manifest this new paradigm of luxury. “We are not chasing brands. We are turning ourselves into brands,” is the manifesto of the brand. This philosophy behind this art collectible exclusivity reveals a deeply rooted human desire for Uniqueness and Individuality – a yearning to carve one's path and shape a world of personal choices. It's within this context that the Ugly Duck art toy emerges, embodying the unfiltered acceptance of the "ugly duckling" within every accomplished adult, coupled with the aspiration to possess opulent artifacts. There is nothing bad in loving luxury brands and the desire to surround yourself with nice things. But very often, it becomes the prevailing desire and the main goal. The Ugly Duck challenges that stigma, manifesting one’s uniqueness as a luxury. More than a material possession, the Ugly Duck art toy signifies audacious acceptance of imperfections and celebrates individuality. It stands as a testament to the rebellion against societal norms, inviting those who possess it to unabashedly embrace their authenticity. In The Ugly Duck world, owning a piece transcends flaunting wealth; it's about donning a badge of uniqueness, a declaration of a desire to stand apart. It encapsulates the spirit of those who refuse to conform, yearning for a life less ordinary. Each piece is not just an objet d'art but a personal statement, an assertion of identity through the lens of creativity and opulence. Does the Ugly Duck Character Live an Ultra-Luxury Life? Ultra-luxury starts from within, from accepting the truth, even if it’s ugly. "Beauty is overrated. Ugliness is real'' is the slogan of the TUD. Just like the Ugly Duck doesn’t stop being the same when turning into a beautiful swan, its character can be upgraded and downgraded easily. The power and the luxury are inside, not outside. It comes from within, and the glamor and chic of surroundings and the external world are just a consequence of cherishing and developing your uniqueness and talent. Things happen thanks to that ugly duck within. The Ugly Duck brand has collaborations with iconic legends like Mike Tyson and rising stars like the LA-based artist Punk Me Tender. And every single TUD Toy is luxurious in its essence. Within this paradigm, the Ugly Duck within becomes the source of empowerment. It signifies the resilience and strength derived from acknowledging one's imperfections and using them as stepping stones toward personal evolution. The external world becomes a canvas, a manifestation of the inner beauty and talent one nurtures. In essence, the Ugly Duck art toy inspires a shift in perspective, urging individuals to recognize that true luxury isn't confined to external appearances. You Can Be Ugly, but Never Negligent Details are important. When crafting the Ugly Duck, creators weave the narrative of "ugly" into a meticulously designed physical item. "Execution is always crucial. We strive for perfection in our imperfection," emphasize the creators of TUD. That’s why TUD is positioned as a premium collectible art toy coming in two sizes— M, and L, so that more people could fit it in their surroundings. The key features include a percentage of eco-recycled plastic, outstanding exclusive design, an in-built NFC tag for authenticity, limited and rare availability, and a high-quality collector gift box. The TUD art toy comes packaged in a premium gift box, ensuring a seamless experience upon opening. Detailed documentation and instructions accompany the toy, making it ideal for gifting without any concerns. No doubt, the TUD toy is a luxury item. It is created to be a premium art collectible. But it is a different kind of luxury. Not Dior, Balenciaga, or Chanel. We have crafted our own luxury, chanting the inner resilience, humble beginnings, and audacious authenticity. In a world full of false narratives, true luxury is what The Ugly Duck embodies—an ode to embracing imperfections and celebrating the unique journey of each individual.

What Is the New Luxury and How to Create It?

I believe an interesting paradox will emerge with the advancement of technology and AI. Initially, personal computers, phones, smartphones, various cool technological novelties, and the like were available to a wealthy minority. Then, with mass distribution, these things and their equivalents become available to almost everyone. Now, we are on the threshold of widespread XR-ization (augmented reality, VR + AR) and robotization. Apple is releasing VisionPro, which might take off and eventually become mainstream. We see the development of various robotic systems: autonomous taxis, robot waiters, avatar teachers, rover couriers, and so on. Almost every day, I show some analytics of AI development . And it’s incredible. on my Twitter I've seen prototypes of self-cooking kitchens. Special tactile suits for virtual sex are being developed, which will feel similar to real life. And there are plenty of other examples. Yes, a lot of this works somewhere inaccurately, somewhere foolishly for now. But humanity is looking in this direction - it's obvious. All these technologies at dawn will be available (and many are already available) to the ultra-rich (and simply rich). And then it cascades down to the masses. The average user will definitely like such things - more dopamine, more time for dopamine. For corporations/businesses - this is a significant reduction in costs and, most importantly - removal from the chain of the most unstable part (Homo Sapiens). At the same time, the scales will change places. The transfer of knowledge from a real, experienced, and charismatic teacher. A melody invented and played by a real pianist. A meeting in a restaurant, where real chefs cook, and human waiters serve. And much more that today is available and familiar to everyone will become, in a certain sense, a delicacy for the elite. Yes, all this will most likely still remain at lower social levels for a long time, but of corresponding quality. It is difficult to say when robotization and the metaverse will become dominant. With the speed of technological development, it is possible that it will happen within our lifetime (forgive me, transhumanists). But this should not prevent us from enjoying human warmth, skills, and energy right now ❤️ You can find more AI and Web3 trends and forecasts on my Twitter.

AI and Tech's Progression Could Make Human Experience the Ultimate Luxury

MIAMI, Florida, November 13th, 2024/Chainwire/--Valhalla, Floki's PlayToEarn Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) blockchain game is proud to announce a partnership in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). On Nov. 13, Valhalla unveiled a partnership with Dubai's Mall of the Emirates, marking a milestone in its global outreach efforts. The partnership will see Valhalla’s branding prominently displayed across 93 screens in the mall for a four-week campaign running from November 15 to December 12. Mall of the Emirates, located in the heart of Dubai, is one of the world’s most prestigious shopping destinations. Since opening in 2005, it has become an iconic landmark, attracting millions of visitors each year. The mall sees daily traffic of approximately 111,500 people, making it a prime venue for Valhalla’s campaign to reach a diverse and international audience. The mall’s strategic location on Sheikh Zayed Road, a prime area in Dubai, combined with its diverse visitor base, offers Valhalla an opportunity to engage both local and international audiences. Spanning an area of 255,489 square meters, the multi-level mall boasts over 630 retail outlets, 80 luxury stores, and 250 flagship stores. It also features some of Dubai’s most popular attractions, including the indoor ski resort Ski Dubai, the Magic Planet entertainment center, and VOX Cinemas. The mall’s dining options, with over 100 restaurants and cafés, further enhance its appeal as a top destination for both residents and tourists. The Campaign’s Goal Valhalla is ramping up its presence in the UAE, a key market for crypto adoption. Despite its smaller population, the UAE ranks as the third-largest crypto economy in the MENA region, with $34 billion in crypto transactions recorded between July 2023 and June 2024. This represents an impressive 42% year-on-year growth, far outpacing the MENA average of 11.73%, according to Chainalysis. Dubai’s rapid evolution into a crypto hub has been fueled by initiatives like the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), which offer crypto-friendly regulatory frameworks.This has drawn major players and startups, solidifying Dubai’s status as a global crypto leader. Valhalla’s campaign at Mall of the Emirates aligns perfectly with this momentum. By showcasing its brand in one of Dubai’s busiest and most iconic locations, Floki aims to boost awareness and adoption of its ecosystem. This campaign follows Floki’s recent four-week marketing initiative at WAFI Mall in Dubai, running from November 8 to December 5, where its branding appears across 18 digital screens. Together, these efforts are part of Floki’s larger strategy to dominate the Dubai crypto scene. About Valhalla Valhalla is a blockchain-based MMORPG inspired by Norse mythology, offering players the chance to discover, tame, and battle with creatures called Veras. The game features a player-driven economy and a hexagonal battlefield designed for dynamic combat. Users can learn more at Valhalla.game.

On Nov. 13, Valhalla unveiled a partnership with Dubai's Mall of the Emirates, marking a milestone in its global outreach efforts. The partnership will see Valhalla’s branding prominently displayed across 93 screens in the mall for a four-week campaign running from November 15 to December 12. Mall of the Emirates, located in the heart of Dubai, is one of the world’s most prestigious shopping destinations. Since opening in 2005, it has become an iconic landmark, attracting millions of visitors each year. The mall sees daily traffic of approximately 111,500 people, making it a prime venue for Valhalla’s campaign to reach a diverse and international audience. The mall’s strategic location on Sheikh Zayed Road, a prime area in Dubai, combined with its diverse visitor base, offers Valhalla an opportunity to engage both local and international audiences. Spanning an area of 255,489 square meters, the multi-level mall boasts over 630 retail outlets, 80 luxury stores, and 250 flagship stores. It also features some of Dubai’s most popular attractions, including the indoor ski resort Ski Dubai, the Magic Planet entertainment center, and VOX Cinemas. The mall’s dining options, with over 100 restaurants and cafés, further enhance its appeal as a top destination for both residents and tourists. The Campaign’s Goal Valhalla is ramping up its presence in the UAE, a key market for crypto adoption. Despite its smaller population, the UAE ranks as the third-largest crypto economy in the MENA region, with $34 billion in crypto transactions recorded between July 2023 and June 2024. This represents an impressive 42% year-on-year growth, far outpacing the MENA average of 11.73%, according to Chainalysis . according to Chainalysis according to Chainalysis Dubai’s rapid evolution into a crypto hub has been fueled by initiatives like the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), which offer crypto-friendly regulatory frameworks.This has drawn major players and startups, solidifying Dubai’s status as a global crypto leader. Valhalla’s campaign at Mall of the Emirates aligns perfectly with this momentum. By showcasing its brand in one of Dubai’s busiest and most iconic locations, Floki aims to boost awareness and adoption of its ecosystem. This campaign follows Floki’s recent four-week marketing initiative at WAFI Mall in Dubai, running from November 8 to December 5, where its branding appears across 18 digital screens. Together, these efforts are part of Floki’s larger strategy to dominate the Dubai crypto scene.

How I Grew My Instagram: Sharing My Journey as a Jewelry Designer

In the bull market, when BTC goes up and breaks its all-time high (ATH), the accumulation process for a new ATH is underway. This is good for altcoins, which go up next. SOL and ETH are the first altcoins to start moving, just like many other Layer 1’s. Investors are looking for ways to maximize their returns on ETH because of gas fees and exploring alternative options, which brings us to Layer 2. Projects like BASE & ARBITRIUM, DOGECHAIN, OPTIMISM, POLYGON, and others that are built on ETH are starting to grow too. Once these altcoins start to gain traction, investors start looking for ways to diversify their profits. Things started to change this year. Once ETFs were approved for BTC, altcoins didn't see much growth. They rarely took off. While some meme tokens saw huge gains (up to 10x), altcoins tried to triple their value and then fell back to their original levels. The same thing happened again after the second big spike, this time with an ETF for ETH. Once again, while ETH peaked, altcoins stayed at the bottom. And yes, meme tokens were making waves again. Crypto wallet activity is at an all-time high, and it is still on the rise. Over the course of the year, it has tripled, compared to previous cycles that saw a tenfold increase. I'm seeing the greatest increase in wallet activity on Solana and Base. This suggests that the alt season hasn't started yet, and could indirectly confirm the BTC supercycle theory. The rise of decentralized launchpads has been a major driver of the growth of these networks. You don't need to know any coding to create a token. But launchpads have some technical limitations, they're great for creating template tokens. It's worth noting that the only category of template tokens that can attract a large community are meme tokens! That's why the most successful and first Launchpads is based on Solana and was designed to run meme tokens. Solana is where a lot of memes started. Is that just a coincidence? It's not a coincidence. It's a trend. Many memes launched on pump.fun are later launched as analogs on other networks, where some of them become more successful than the original projects. The second most popular moonshot launchpad from dexscreener also started on Solana and now supports Base. ETH saw little change in developers’ activity from year to year (though it's still the leader in this area). BTC and its L2s, on the other hand, have seen a significant increase in development activity, doubling in the past year. This growth is likely to continue and set new trends in the coming year. To avoid confusion, I will refer to the new Meme tokens currently trending in the short-term market as "Memes 2.0". There are several differences between Memes 2.0 and Meme tokens from previous cycles. The main difference is how the tokens were launched. Memes 2.0 launch on launchpads using the Bonding Curve, which we call a fair launch. What makes this launch different is how the tokens are distributed after they're listed on the dex. Specifically, only a small percentage of the supply is available for purchase in the liquidity pool. This means that if you try to sell a large number of tokens, the price will drop dramatically. In fact, 99.999% of these tokens going to 0 after being listed on dex. This is an important point. I like to think of this as natural selection. If meme 2.0 has a strong narrative and a healthy community by the time when whales and/or developers are out, a CTO (community token owned) is created. The community takes ownership of the project's development. With a strong community, the project is already more likely to succeed than at the Bonding Curve level. A short-term speculative meme 2.0 can become a long-term meme. So the main things that differentiate memes 2.0 from those of previous cycles are how popular the CTOs are, how the tokens are distributed, and how they're launched. Some good examples are GOAT, Michi, FWOG, and MOODENG. On top of that, memes 2.0 have become a kind of tokenized representation of everything that happens in the world. It's like a news channel. If you want to see what's trending, just go to pump.fun and look at the top active tokens :) Murad's theory of the memcoin supercycle suggests that we may soon see a cycle in which memcoins surpass traditional coins. This will be based on community sentiment, emotion, and the speculative lure of getting rich quickly. Memcoins are different from traditional projects because they grow through hype and the ability to rally large communities. The main things to watch out for are: The popularity of meme launchpads (pump.fun, moonshot) and the fact that you can deploy memtokens almost for free without any programming skills or blockchain knowledge.
Many moonboys on X and other socials
More and more people are looking to invest in high risk assets like memcoins due to the instability in the world and high inflation across the board
We're seeing a shift where communities driven by profit are replacing those driven by blockchain and technology.
Major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase are listing more and more meme tokens, fueling a speculative frenzy. Meme token supercycle theory has no real fundamentals like memcoins itself. They attract traders with the promise of quick profits. There's no real utility or technology behind them. It's just people chasing the dream of becoming a millionaire with just $10. It reminds me of the ICO boom I was a part of. Even the most obvious scams raised money. They had fake profiles of team members, renamed social networks, made beautiful websites, and that was it. They just sold the standard tokens and out. Yes, there were some real projects, but only a few. Investors were just as fixated on quick profits as they are today. After the whole system crashed, most of them lost their money. Then they started thinking about technology and utility. It seems that the new generation of investors hasn’t learned from our mistakes and is falling into the same traps we did. Memcoins like Dogecoin, Pepe, and Shiba Inu will probably benefit from this hype around memes either way. On the other hand, most Meme 2.0 will experience a rug pool, not a supercycle:) Given the current market conditions, it's likely that the surviving 2.0 memtokens will see zero value due to their low liquidity and high FDV.

The case for a 2024 bull run In the bull market, when BTC goes up and breaks its all-time high (ATH), the accumulation process for a new ATH is underway. This is good for altcoins, which go up next.

With the exponential growth of stablecoins in 2024, it's safe to say that RWA tokenization is the next big thing. According to RWA.xyz, stablecoins recorded a massive 3800% growth between 2020 and 2024, surging from $4 billion to over $156 billion and bringing its total RWA market share to over 90%. This article provides fresh insights into the state of RWA tokenization in 2024, focusing on the growth statistics, its key players, market predictions and emerging trends. State of RWA in brief The brave new world of RWA tokenization has attracted significant attention in traditional finance where–according to a recent survey by Tokenized Assets Coalition–about 86% of Fortune 500 executives recognize its potential benefits. Moreover, there has been a consistent institutional narrative about its projected growth, with leading market analysts estimating trillions of dollars of tokenized assets by 2030. RWA tokenization has recently emerged as a fast growing trend with the potential to shape the global investment landscape, thanks to the surging stablecoin volume and a fast paced institutional adoption. While payment stablecoin is leading the charge, real estate is the sleeping giant of RWA tokenization. Other use cases such as treasury bonds, private credits, commodities and stocks add significantly to the industry’s trillions of dollars worth of total addressable markets. RWA Tokenization Growth The growth pattern of RWA tokenization has inspired an interesting narrative about its huge potential. According to the recent report by Tokenized Assets Coalition, the current market size of tokenized assets is valued at $186 billion with a 32% year-to-date increase and over 150 tokenized asset issuers around the globe. Based on a sector specific analysis, stablecoin is responsible for a large percentage of the growth of the RWA total market size, while others sectors such as real estate, commodities(ie gold, silver, etc), and treasury bonds,  have not only gained significant traction but have also shown tremendous growth potential as well. For instance, the tokenized real estate market is poised to experience a rapid growth in the years ahead as it continues to attract significant attention from traditional institutions lured by its potential to usher in liquidity and open up access to retail investors globally. According to Block square, the tokenized real estate sector is estimated to reach $26 billion by 2034. Furthermore, there are some other notable events that point to the growth and mainstream recognition of the RWA tokenization. These include MakerDOA's $1 billion investment in tokenized US treasuries, Goldman Sachs’s RWA tokenization projects, BlackRock's investment in US treasuries through its $500 million BUIDL fund, PricewaterhouseCoopers’ 2024 RWA Tokenization cohort and the US tokenized treasures reaching a $1 billion milestone. Most importantly, the growth of RWA tokenization is very much tied to the increasing role of payment stablecoin in traditional finance as evident in its ability to bring about instant settlement and low fees.  The billion dollar moves by key players such as Goldman Sachs, MakerDAO, Ripple, Coinbase, BlackRock, etc. also contribute to the growth trajectory and future outlook. Key Institutional Players There is a growing list of key institutional players that are genuinely interested in RWA tokenization’s potential to shape the global investment landscape. According to a recent Coinbase report, 35% of Fortune 500 companies are gravitating towards tokenization projects. Below are some of the key players shaping the future of tokenized assets: BlackRock World's largest asset manager, BlackRock, announced its foray into RWA tokenization through its BUIDL fund. A significant investment in the US tokenized treasuries. Now worth over $600 million, BlackRock's BUIDL fund allows investors to invest in tokenized US treasuries, which is a game changer for fund management and the institutional adoption of blockchain technology. MakerDAO MakerDAO is the company behind DAI, an overcollateralized stablecoin, and a key player in the RWA space. It recently announced a $1 billion investment in the US tokenized treasuries. Goldman Sachs As a leading investment bank, Goldman Sachs has demonstrated a visionary leadership financial innovation through its proposed tokenization of institutional-grade assets targeting the US and EU markets. It seeks to provide  institutional clients with investment options in tokenized securities, real estate and commodities. Coinbase As a leading crypto exchange, Coinbase is spearheading a major foray into RWA tokenization. It recently entered a partnership with eNor Securities to offer tokenized assets to retail investors in Latin America, as part of its broader expansion strategy in the region. Market Predictions Market predictions are consistently estimating trillions of dollars of tokenized assets by 2030 and beyond. In a recent report by the Tokenized Assets Coalition (TAC), Mckinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group(BCG) and Citibank predicted that there will be $2, $16 and $5 Trillion worth of tokenized assets by 2030, while Standard Chartered estimated that the total market size will grow to $30 Trillion by 2034. Latest Development: Brickken Partners With BNB Chain For RWA Tokenization Brickken, a leading RWA tokenization company, recently announced its collaboration with BNB Chain. This makes Brickken an official provider of RWA tokenization services within the BNB ecosystem. Brickken has  continued to record giant strides in the RWA space. In May, it was selected as one of the 11 participants of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ RWA Tokenization Cohort – out of 700 applicants . The partnership with BNB Chain, one of the leading blockchains, will allow it to leverage BNB’s while taking maximum advantage of its low transaction costs, high scalability and to provide secure, cost effective solutions to investors and businesses seeking to tokenize real world assets on the protocol's platform. Additionally, BNB Chain's vast DeFi ecosystem consisting of decentralised applications provides Brickken with market access thus increasing liquidity by opening up access to both retail and institutional investors. Following the announcement, Brickken was chosen by Hydrokken, a clean energy tokenization project, to tokenize its shares in natural hydrogen amplifying the potential of RWA tokenization in driving clean energy initiative. Conclusion: Real world asset(RWA) tokenization offers new ways to invest in real-world assets like real estate, commodities, and government bonds. Stablecoin has emerged as the leading use case for RWA tokenization, controlling over 90% of the total market share. Other sectors in the RWA space such as real estate, commodities, and tokenised treasuries have continued to attract significant attention, especially from traditional institutional like Goldman Sachs and BlackRock, which recently announced their foray into the brave new world of RWA tokenization. This year, the RWA space has experienced significant growth thanks to the surging market capitalization of stablecoins.  Traditional institutions have also contributed enormously to its growth success through their investments, partnerships and confidence in the potential of blockchain technology to shape the future of finance. With the exponential growth of stablecoins in 2024, it's safe to say that RWA tokenization is the next big thing. According to RWA.xyz, stablecoins recorded a massive 3800% growth between 2020 and 2024, surging from $4 billion to over $156 billion and bringing its total RWA market share to over 90%.
