Polkadot Launches Tokenized Innovation Hub in Paraguay’s Assunción Valley

Paraguay is spearheading an innovative project by tokenizing the Assunción Innovation Valley (AIV), a smart district in Asunción, capital of Paraguay. The initiative, backed by a $6 million investment and collaboration with Moonbeam and Better Use Blockchain (BuB), aims to democratize ownership within this burgeoning hub, integrating traditional assets like real-estate into the digital realm via Polkadot’s blockchain technology. 130,000 equity shares linked to AIV will be tokenized, granting holders voting rights and dividends. This represents a significant shift from speculative crypto towards real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, potentially paving the way for new market opportunities within national asset markets and public-private equity in Latin America.
