IOTA Takes RWA Tokenization to the Middle East
In a blog post announcing the partnership, the Foundation revealed that it was proud to be associated with the Congress. The event is divided into ten tracks, each focusing on a different topic, from investment destinations and innovation to international partners and SMEs.
IOTA will be at the Future of Finance track, where “we’re looking forward to presenting IOTA as a leading real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation ecosystem.” The Foundation added:
IOTA’s Tokenization Framework enables any asset to be tokenized and made fully programmable according to strict legal and compliance requirements. It ensures that tokenized assets are fully secure and can be seamlessly transferred.
Dom will participate in a panel that will discuss the new era of trust in the financial services world. He will share the stage with Etihad Credit Insurance head Raja Al Mazrouei and Renat Bekturov, the governor of the Astana International Financial Centre in Kazakhstan.
