Brickken at TOKEN2049 Dubai: Key Highlights & Emerging Trends
Our CEO Edwin Mata and CRO Ludo attended TOKEN2049 Dubai, one of the core gatherings in the Web3 ecosystem. The event brought together founders, investors, and builders from around the world, and offered valuable insights into the direction of the industry. Here are some of the key topics that dominated conversations:
Real-World Asset (RWA) Tokenization
At TOKEN2049, tokenization of RWAs was highlighted as one of the most transformative trends in the Web3 space, particularly in markets like the UAE where institutional adoption is accelerating.
One of the highlights was the announcement by the Dubai Land Department of a pilot program to tokenize property ownership, showcasing clear regulatory interest in blockchain's potential.
We used TOKEN2049 as an opportunity to share some of the insights we’ve gathered through our work in the RWA space. Together with Cointelegraph, we recently published a report exploring the growth of real-world asset tokenization, where projections suggest the market could surpass $10 trillion by 2030. The conversations their echoed this momentum — interest in tokenization is growing fast, and places like Dubai are quickly positioning themselves as hubs for real asset digitization.
Our CEO Edwin Mata emphasized this momentum, stating, “The excitement around tokenization has never been stronger. Dubai is becoming a global hub for real asset digitization.”
RWA tokenization was thus portrayed not just as a trend, but as a fundamental building block of the next evolution in global finance.
Stablecoins and Their Role in Global Finance
Another major topic at TOKEN2049 Dubai was the growing influence of stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to fiat currencies like the US dollar are a key enabler of RWA adoption, providing a liquidity layer that makes tokenized assets tradable and usable in daily transactions.
- Cross-border Payments: Stablecoins like USDT are revolutionizing international transfers by enabling low-cost, near-instant transactions, bypassing the delays and fees associated with traditional banking systems.
- Store of Value: In emerging markets with volatile currencies, stablecoins are often seen as a digital alternative to the US dollar. People are increasingly converting local fiat into stablecoins to hedge against inflation.
- Financial Inclusion and Remittances: Because stablecoins can be accessed with just a smartphone and an internet connection, they are proving critical in bringing financial services to unbanked populations.
The Convergence of Web3 and Artificial Intelligence
Perhaps the most forward-looking trends at TOKEN2049 centered around the intersection of Web3 and AI. These two technologies are increasingly being combined to develop intelligent, decentralized applications and entirely new business models. Several topics stood out:
- Smarter dApps: AI is being embedded into decentralized applications to create more personalized, interactive, and efficient user experiences.
- Autonomous AI Agents on Blockchain: A particularly innovative concept discussed was the idea of AI agents operating autonomously on-chain, capable of making economic decisions, executing trades, or negotiating contracts.
- Use Cases Beyond Finance: The synergy between AI and blockchain is not limited to finance, also we’re seeing AI-generated educational content distributed on blockchain, sovereign digital identities, and AI-powered marketplaces.
In sum, TOKEN2049 made it clear that the line between decentralized and intelligent systems is blurring, ushering in a new era of innovation. For platforms like ours at Brickken, this opens the door to incorporating AI for tasks like automated compliance, investor analytics, and smart onboarding flows—tools that can make tokenized asset management more scalable and user-friendly.
