The next step after tokenizing the world 🌎 Building the secondary markets to support it ✨ Hosted by Credit Saison Co., Ltd. and PacificMeta, our CEO Kanny L. raised an interesting question at Blockchain Summit 2026: "How does someone access a tokenized bond without flying to Singapore, opening a bank account, and going through KYC?" That’s exactly our vision for locked tokens and RWAs at SecondSwap: >Interoperability across different chains >Access to tokenized assets >Right-sized for eligibility that fit wide range of market participants Joined by Gabor Gurbacs of OpenAssets; Kevin Susanto of Indonesia Blockchain Council; Kelvin Tan of DBS Bank; Andrea Gerali of Banca d'Italia; and moderated by Nathanael Lim of Mishcon de Reya LLP.
About us
SecondSwap addresses a critical need in the digital asset space by creating a trusted, scalable, and multi-chain supported ‘second market’ for locked tokenized assets. In today’s rapidly evolving blockchain landscape, a significant amount of value is tied up in illiquid assets such as tokens under a lock-up period or pre-TGE (pre-token generation event) tokens. The market for locked tokens is currently estimated at over USD 1 trillion and is expanding at a remarkable pace. SecondSwap's platform offers a game-changing solution by enabling trustless swaps of locked tokens that are transparently verified by Token Issuers. This brings unprecedented security and clarity to the process, empowering users to seamlessly execute these transactions while unlocking liquidity for previously untapped assets.

📍 Consensus HK: The Wednesday Roundup Here's what we've been hearing on the ground from the Main Event and Solana Accelerate APAC. 💧 RWAs Heating Up > Tokenization is gaining traction across real estate, gold, and industrial assets. Hong Kong's stablecoin and ETF framework is attracting serious players. Scalability and TradFi integration are key for RWA adoption, and secondary liquidity rails are the bridge. 💧 Buzz & Excitement > Despite the market mood, focus has shifted to stable yields and tokenized equities. Convo circled around BTC at ~50K? Solana infra continues to win. Privacy remains a hurdle, but a clearer policy is boosting RWA conviction. 💧 Liquidity > No big reveals or announcements here, but the structural need for onchain liquidity is obvious. RWAs with 5–10+ year horizons demand secondary markets. Side events tease unlocks via tokenized funds or OTCs, echoing our case for discounted and oversight-driven trades. Say hi if you spot us rocking the SecondSwap tee today! 👋

Kicked off Monday morning at LTP Liquidity 2026 at Consensus HK. 🇭🇰 💧 Booths this year skewed towards on infra (think: data centers, fund services, custody) 💧 After months of alts selloffs, appetite for secondary markets has cooled. Investors shifted attention towards equities and RWAs. 💧 Allocators are back on the hunt. However, this time deploying less volatile strategies. Think deeper OTC discounts (>50% discounts for 1 month lock) and delta neutral them. 💧 Attended the Green Finance and RWA Tokenization event organized by Upwood. Interesting take on tokenizing real forest assets and carbon credits. 💧 Examples like IKEA's ~$720m forest acquisitions in the Baltics highlight how established this asset class already is at the institutional level. Returns come from timber harvesting, replanting cycles, carbon credit sales and long term appreciation in forest land value. 💧 This mirrors other RWA cases where secondary liquidity matters. Forestry investments typically span more than 20 years. Without secondary markets, exits depend on asset sales or fund wind-downs. More to come today!

Today's private deals were never built for retail. They were built for funds with teams, access, and time. Retail usually gets access late, after the upside is gone. SecondSwap changes that. It brings institutional deal flows on-chain, with real discounts for those who can wait and size in. 💰 This isn't about quick flips. It's about buying early, holding with intent, and exiting cleanly when the timing is right. 🎯 Everyone deserves a real seat at the table 🪑 Get in before it gets crowded.
