2. Industry Insights

• Despite challenges, RWAs are positioned to be one of the top crypto categories in the coming cycle, driving substantial growth. Julian sees RWAs as a crucial asset class for crypto’s next growth cycle, with institutional players now recognizing the potential of tokenized real-world assets.
• Julian remarks on America's resurgence in blockchain, noting that despite political divides, there is renewed momentum in the U.S. blockchain ecosystem.
• Notably, there has been a surge in female participation in the blockchain industry, especially in Asia, where women lead major companies. 

3. IX Swap Updates

• Base Integration: The staking and bridging functions on the platform are now live, allowing users to stake IXS and receive RWA airdrops, providing additional value for token holders.
• Innovative Staking Model: IX Swap's new staking model addresses issues with traditional staking programs, which often lead to price drops due to token dumps. Instead of rewarding stakers with more IXS tokens, IX Swap offers RWA equity tokens as rewards, creating a more sustainable system.
• First-Ever RWA Staking Program: This new staking program is unique in the crypto space, as it distributes equity tokens from real-world assets (RWAs) to stakers. This innovation helps stabilize token prices while offering stakers ownership in various projects.
• Long-Term Value Creation: The goal is to drive value for both IX Swap and the projects involved by distributing equity to a more engaged and supportive community. The structure is likened to an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan), incentivizing long-term community involvement.
• $SSOL1 Token Distribution: The airdrop of $SSOL1 tokens has been successfully completed, marking another milestone for IX Swap.
• Performance of $CKGP OTP: The $CKGP OTP has shown strong performance, achieving around 10% returns in a couple of months. This suggests annualized returns of 100-150%, making it one of the best-performing real-world assets (RWA). Check out our September $CKGP investment report here.
• Legal Compliance & Cost Efficiency: The OTP structure is fully legal and compliant, offering significant cost and time savings for fund managers, making it attractive for managing RWA tokens and trading them efficiently.
• Partnerships, B2B collaborations, and listings:
  • Multiple partnerships are in progress, focusing on integrating with major cryptocurrency wallets to enable seamless RWA issuance and trading.
  • Julian emphasizes the importance of aligning UX/UI and ensuring regulatory compliance in these partnerships, as IX Swap’s reputation and licenses are paramount.
  • IX Swap is in discussions with major exchanges like Coinbase, Binance, and top Korean platforms. The focus is on listing RWAs to provide real-world use cases, pairing assets like real estate and startups with cryptocurrencies.
  • The challenge lies in the high costs and rigorous processes for listings on these major exchanges. The aim is to build on protocols that bring long-term user growth and meaningful integrations rather than relying on token grants or incentives.

The September AMA showcased IX Swap’s expanding influence in the tokenized asset space, and we couldn’t be more excited about the future! Thank you for being part of our journey. We look forward to having you at the next session as we continue to brew more exciting updates!
