ITISEN Global unveiled a sweeping roadmap to tokenize real-world assets (RWA), announcing plans to issue 50 tons of physical gold as on-chain assets over the next five years and to build a digital gold financial ecosystem worth about 10 trillion won. The plan signals a shift from simple asset replication to integrating real assets into a broader digital financial infrastructure. Gold has been chosen as the initial RWA asset, reflecting its role as a safe-haven asset amid market volatility.
The announcement was made at Busan Blockchain Week (BWB 2025), with KGLD at the center of the RWA strategy. Lee Sang-yoon, CEO of Korea Gold Exchange Digital Asset, said that the industry is moving toward value digitalization where real assets underpin financial markets. The group emphasized that the reliability of its supply chain—from sourcing to custody and trading—is a core competitive advantage in RWA.
Beyond gold, ITISEN Global envisions expanding RWA to other commodities and data-driven assets, enabling tokenization of diverse information. The company intends to offer on-chain deposits, collateralized lending, and other financial services linked to digital gold within a broader ecosystem. Officials argue that integrating real assets with data and AI-enabled platforms could position ITISEN Global as a leading global RWA infrastructure provider.
