New Accelerator Aims to Fuel Institutional Adoption of Tokenized Real-World Assets

A new accelerator program backed by leading players in the crypto and fintech space is launching to support early-stage startups building on-chain infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The program, named Ascend, aims to prepare teams already developing live products for institutional scalability. As tokenized RWAs surpass $25 billion in value, Ascend will provide funding and mentorship to help them navigate the complex challenges of scaling regulated RWA platforms.
