In a truly marvelous twist, China has decided to turn the page on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, sending ripples of excitement through the investor pond! At the grand Consensus Hong Kong shindig, our dear Joseph Chee, the head honcho of Solana, chimed in with glee: “Just take those onshore assets, sprinkle a bit of token magic, and voilà! You’re off to do your RWA crypto business outside of China. Just remember to file your papers!”
