Vietnam Industry Leaders Discuss Building a Competitive Market for Tokenized Real-World Assets
August 22, 2026 —
People in Vietnam finance and blockchain sectors spoke with Vietnam Economic Times/VnEconomy. They shared ways to build a trusted market where real items turn into digital tokens.
Key facts:
• Tokenized RWAs mix digital methods with set rules to turn physical assets into trade tokens. This mix frees cash, cuts fees, and brings more buyers in. Ramana Kumar from ADI Foundation leads the Stablecoin Ecosystem and points to this change as a boost for funds.
• Vietnam finds room in tokenization. For instance, coffee suppliers sell tokens from trade bills to get cash fast when selling goods abroad.
• Laws must be clear. Officials must decide if tokens stand for a share in an asset or a right to cash flows. They must set rules that work across different countries to bring in foreign funds.
• SB Seker from Binance in Asia says real user choice keeps a market alive. He adds that tokenizing lets many people buy a share in assets that once cost too much to own all at once.
• Thomas Chou from the Canton Foundation lists four simple needs for tokens: verify who someone is, protect data, build rules into tokens, and allow fast payments.
• Teddy Hung of the Solana Company says token value rests on steady cash flows and a system that traders can trust.
Why it matters:
Tokens change finance systems by turning trade bills and similar assets into digital items. In Vietnam, this may bring new cash for local businesses, pull in global funds, and update finance ways. Clear rules, set systems, and real buyer needs help the market grow in a steady way.
Background:
Tokenized real-world assets use blockchain to form digital tokens. These tokens show a share in items like trade bills, houses, or raw goods. Vietnam now sees this as a chance to join a growing global trend. With blockchain, old finance systems shift to methods with clear steps, quick cash moves, and more ways to invest. Experts say a good start is with tokens that show real cash flows and flip quickly, meeting new legal rules and user needs in Vietnam’s digital age.
