Cannes, France - June 28, 2025 - Centrifuge, the leading platform for bringing real-world assets onchain, and Tioga, a leading European VC, are proud to host the RWA Summit Cannes 2025, taking place on July 1 alongside the ETHCC event. This one-day, exclusive event will bring together institutional investors, DeFi innovators, and financial infrastructure builders in a focused setting at the heart of the French Riviera at the Palm Beach Cannes.
As tokenized RWAs rapidly move from concept to implementation, the RWA Summit is the premier platform to explore this transformation. The event will feature keynote talks, fireside chats, and curated networking that centers on the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain.
“We believe RWAs are not just a niche within crypto, but the bridge that brings blockchain into the global financial system,” said Bhaji Illuminati, CEO of Centrifuge. “The RWA Summit in Cannes is a curated moment for the ecosystem to connect, align, and accelerate this transformation.”
The real-world asset sector is one of the fastest-growing segments in crypto, with asset managers, credit funds, and financial institutions increasingly turning to blockchain to issue, trade, and manage off-chain assets. This includes fixed income, private credit, real estate, trade finance, and yield-bearing instruments. In fact, a joint Centrifuge and Keyrock report found onchain real-world asset value grew by approximately 85% year-over-year in 2024 to reach $15.2 billion.
With an emphasis on curated conversation, the event will highlight key topics such as:
The current state of RWAs
Rebuilding ETFs onchain
Matching supply and demand for RWAs
The stablecoin wars: who will win the lindy race?
Growing the pie: how do we onboard the next trillion?
As the organizer and creator of the RWA Summit series, Centrifuge is doubling down on its mission to unlock economic opportunity through decentralized finance. With deep experience in tokenizing real-world assets, Centrifuge empowers institutions to issue and invest in RWAs with compliance, transparency, and composability.
Some of the high-profile speakers attending the event include:
Stani Kulechov, Founder of Aave Labs
Sergey Nazarov, Co-founder of Chainlink Labs
Paul Frambot, Co-founder & CEO of Morpho Labs
Christine Moy, Partner, Head of Digital Assets, Data & AI Strategy at Apollo
