Ant Digital Technologies, a leader in emerging technologies, recently hosted the inaugural RWA REAL UP Dubai Summit 2025 in Dubai. The event attracted over 500 industry leaders, financial institutions, blockchain pioneers, and regulators to explore innovative solutions shaping the future of fintech. The summit underscores the company’s commitment to advancing digital finance across the UAE and the broader Middle East. It also highlights Ant Digital Technologies’ ongoing global expansion strategy, with the establishment of its international headquarters in Hong Kong.
Key Innovations Presented at the Summit
The summit highlighted the transformative potential of technologies such as AI and Web3 in the future of finance. Key discussions focused on Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation, which allows digital fractional ownership of high-value assets, unlocking liquidity through blockchain.
During the event, Ant Digital Technologies unveiled the Jovay blockchain, a high-speed Layer 2 blockchain designed for RWA transactions. Capable of processing 100,000 transactions per second with a 100ms on-chain response time, Jovay integrates seamlessly with Layer 1 blockchains to enhance performance and scalability. As part of the company’s “Dual Chains and One Bridge” strategy, Jovay is poised to transform trillions of RWAs into tradable digital assets, boosting global liquidity.
The company also introduced the AI-powered DeTerministic Virtual Machine (DTVM) Stack, which optimises smart contract performance. By integrating multi-language SDKs and SmartCogent, an AI toolkit, the DTVM Stack automates the smart contract lifecycle, offering up to 30 times more efficient execution than traditional methods. Fully compatible with Ethereum, the open-sourced DTVM Stack marks a significant advancement in scalable, interoperable Web3 development.
Zhuoqun Bian, President of Blockchain Business at Ant Digital Technologies, emphasized the company’s commitment to blockchain innovation and collaboration with global partners to unleash the full potential of RWAs. The Dubai Summit follows the company’s strategic move to Hong Kong, as both cities are recognized for their progressive regulatory frameworks supporting digital assets. These cities provide crucial hubs for seamless market operations, facilitating 24/7 activity between the Middle East and Asia.
As a part of its innovation efforts, Ant Digital Technologies has already facilitated the on-chain transactions of 14 million new energy devices, setting a benchmark for tokenised green asset investments. The company is playing a vital role in democratizing green finance by enabling global investor access to tokenised renewable energy assets.
Dr. Zhao Wenbiao, CEO, remarked that Dubai provides an ideal platform to showcase their solutions and connect with visionary investors. The company’s dual-hub strategy aims to accelerate digital transformation and sustainable finance across both regions, setting the stage for global-scale technological innovation.
