Ben Zhou, Co-Founder and CEO of Bybit, delivered a keynote at a closed-door event titled ‘From Crypto to RWAs: How Tokenization and Liquidity Are Reshaping Investment,’ held during the Family Office Dinner: The Future of Asset Tokenization, co-hosted by FutureOne MENA and the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC). He stated that global digital asset platforms are undergoing a critical transformation, with cryptocurrencies evolving beyond trading instruments and gradually becoming an integral part of the global financial system. Platforms like Bybit are transitioning from single-purpose exchanges into comprehensive financial service providers—the New Financial Platform—serving broader financial needs. At the same time, the tokenization of real-world assets is injecting new liquidity, yield structures, and collateral mechanisms into traditional assets such as real estate and bonds.
Zhou noted that select family offices in the Middle East have begun experimenting with tokenization tools to enhance balance-sheet efficiency, converting traditionally illiquid assets into divisible, tradable digital instruments and enabling cross-time-zone fund allocation and risk diversification. He said, “We are witnessing a structural shift—cryptographic technology is progressing from its early exploratory phase toward becoming foundational infrastructure for mainstream finance.” He added that compliant, high-quality RWA tokenization will serve as a vital bridge connecting traditional capital with the digital financial ecosystem.
