Last night, I was woken up by a comment in the group chat saying "RWA is about to take off," and I accidentally spilled coffee on my keyboard... I was wiping it off while checking the market, and I really wanted to curse. 😂 It's precisely on days like these that I realize: assets that can generate stable interest and are readily available on-chain are the ultimate form of hard currency.
@KAIO_xyz launched "Frontier" this week: collaborating with KaitoAI, offering a substantial $25M $KAIO reward; starting with Pre-TGE. The official Twitter account also revealed that $KAIO will be the "engine" of the next phase.
The underlying infrastructure is also solid: KAIO has made institutional funds like BlackRock available on-chain (for trading/staking/portfolioing); the official website has $108.5M AUM (primarily for institutions/accredited investors). Nasdaq mentioned on January 8th that KAIO and Mubadala Capital are exploring on-chain integration of private placement strategies.
Siyuan believes the most powerful aspect of this wave is the combination of "compliant asset issuance" and "attention distribution"—content is no longer just about arguing; it's starting to be settled.
What do you think will be the biggest hurdle for RWA in 2026: compliance or secondary market liquidity?
