Conflux Co-Founder Outlines Next Phase for Real-World Asset Adoption

Conflux Co-Founder Yuanjie Zhang is positioning his company as a compliant blockchain ecosystem for real-world assets (RWAs). He sees Conflux as an infrastructure layer, not a regulated financial institution. Its role is to provide a blockchain network that enables licensed partners to bring RWAs on-chain in accordance with applicable regulations.

The biggest misconception about tokenized real-world assets is that putting an asset on-chain will automatically attract global capital and solve financing challenges. In reality, tokenization does not create value or liquidity on its own. Investors care about the quality of the underlying asset, not simply whether it is on-chain.

Conflux has been integrating gold-backed and dollar-linked liquidity through assets like Tether Gold (USDT0) and USDT0. These assets are foundational building blocks for a broader on-chain financial ecosystem. They enable a much wider range of financial activities, from payments and savings to lending and investment.
