Real-world assets (RWAs) represent a powerful opportunity to anchor decentralized systems in tangible value and stability. By leveraging the Swiss Franc (CHF)—a globally trusted and stable currency—RWAs can position CHF as a key asset in DeFi.
This presentation shows how far we've come with Frankencoin and examines the potential of tokenized Swiss assets, such as real estate and bonds, to enhance financial innovation and stability, offering a compelling use case for expanding CHF’s relevance in these systems.
The integration of real-world assets (RWAs) with the Swiss Franc (CHF) offers a unique opportunity to build a decentralized financial infrastructure rooted in stability and real-world utility. Tokenized Swiss assets, including real estate, bonds, and other financial instruments, can extend a decentralized CHF’s reach into new markets and applications. Drawing from the success of Frankencoin, a CHF-backed stablecoin that has been live and operational for over a year, this session explores the technical, economic, and strategic opportunities for scaling CHF-backed RWAs globally. Attendees will gain insight into how these developments can reshape decentralized ecosystems and create new pathways for collaboration and innovation.
