In a move reflecting the accelerating adoption of Real-World Assets (RWA) in the Gulf region, UAE-based ASK Group has partnered with U.S. blockchain firm Keeta. This collaboration aims to launch a public exchange dedicated to trading physical assets as fractional digital tokens. According to reports, the targeted assets for tokenization include strategic commodities such as oil, gold, and copper, allowing investors to access fractional ownership of these resources.
This initiative comes at a time when the asset tokenization sector is seeing significant growth, with estimates from major financial institutions like Boston Consulting Group suggesting the market for tokenized assets could reach $16 trillion by 2030 (per BCG reports). This step positions the UAE as a leading competitor to global platforms in this field, coinciding with the stabilization of global commodity prices and increasing demand for the transparency provided by blockchain technology.
