Tokenization: The New Trend in the Financial Industry

Tokenization is gradually becoming an important development direction in the financial industry. Large financial institutions are actively laying out in this field, reflecting its enormous potential. Real-world assets ( RWA ) are becoming a key component of the cryptocurrency industry. As of May 2024, the RWA market size has exceeded $6.6 billion. It is expected that by 2030, the asset tokenization scale will reach $10 trillion.

The World Federation of Exchanges recently published a paper, referring to tokenization as a natural progression in finance. Many financial giants are actively positioning themselves, including JPMorgan, Fidelity International, and others. The custodial trust and clearing company (DTCC) has also completed a pilot test for fund tokenization technology. Deutsche Bank has joined the blockchain alliance led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, aiming to explore an interoperable tokenized fund blockchain platform.

Among numerous projects, IX Swap stands out with its unique approach. As a real-world asset tokenization platform and decentralized exchange, IX Swap facilitates security token trading through licensed institutions, aiming to democratize investment opportunities in the private equity market and address the liquidity challenges in the tokenization industry.

The goal of IX Swap is to become the Uniswap of the security token space, allowing anyone holding RWA and cryptocurrencies to legally create liquidity pools. This helps facilitate the trading of tokenized assets, enhances liquidity, and makes private market investments more convenient.

IX Swap offers multiple products:

• Secondary trading platform: allows trading of security tokens ( STOs ) and fractionalized NFTs ( F-NFTs ), providing access channels for private equity, real estate, and other assets through regulatory-compliant liquidity pools and automated market-making functions.

• Launch Platform: A crowdfunding platform that offers unique investment opportunities in startups across multiple fields including finance, blockchain, technology, and more.

• SaaS Solutions: Providing subscription-based liquidity solutions for real-world asset platforms, enhancing liquidity through automated market makers and liquidity pools.

• IXS Token: The native token of the IX Swap ecosystem, which has multiple functions, including fee discounts, access to specific services, staking rewards, etc.

The IX Swap team began conceptualizing the development of an automated market maker for the security token industry in 2017, and the platform officially launched in September 2021. Recently, IX Swap was acquired by the parent company of InvestaX to enhance its ability to address liquidity issues in the industry.

The project has completed multiple rounds of financing, including IDO, IEO, and private placement, raising a total of over 2.7 million dollars. IX Swap has also established strategic partnerships with several institutions to promote innovation and development in the RWA market.

In the competitive landscape, IX Swap offers a unique compliant secondary trading platform with an operational AMM model and a retail investor securities license. This gives it a certain advantage in the RWA token trading space.

Although IX Swap shows a promising development outlook, investors still need to pay attention to potential risks, such as market volatility, regulatory changes, and increasing competition. Overall, IX Swap is striving to become a bridge connecting traditional finance and the decentralized world, bringing new opportunities to the RWA tokenization field.
