Global Fintech Institute Convenes Closed-Door RWA Bootcamp in Shanghai

Real World Assets, the tokenisation of traditionally illiquid value such as real estate, receivables, and private credit, have moved from conceptual debate to active financial infrastructure. As traditional financing models and digital finance rails converge, institutions and markets need a systematic, professional, and implementable framework rather than another round of speculation. The Global Fintech Institute is responding with a two-day, closed-door bootcamp in Shanghai on 25 and 26 July 2026.

The programme is designed for practitioners rather than observers. It targets six core groups: entrepreneurs and asset owners seeking a workable path to tokenised financing, traditional finance professionals navigating business and career transition, legal and compliance specialists mapping regulatory boundaries, Web3 and fintech founders pursuing the full commercial logic of RWA, high-net-worth investors and family offices building a global allocation view, and government and industrial-park leaders planning digital finance industries and investment promotion.

The course is led by two faculty who combine academic depth with live execution. Professor David Lee Kuo Chuen, Founding Chairman of the Global Fintech Institute, is Professor of Fintech and Blockchain at the Singapore University of Social Sciences and brings a composite background across research, regulation, corporate governance, and capital investment. Dr. Joanne Jia, CEO and Founder of HK Coinsea Capital, holds a finance PhD from the University of Cambridge, has worked across Singapore and London for 25 years in cross-border investment, securitisation, and tokenisation, and is the author of the newly published book, Asset Tokenisation RWA: A Practical Guide, published in 2026.

The two-day structure moves deliberately from cognition to execution. Day one reframes how RWA reshapes financial rules and dissects global benchmark cases across major asset types. Day two turns to implementation: the participants in the RWA ecosystem, how to screen quality projects, how to build a compliant issuance architecture, and how to manage a project through to long-term operation.

The format is intentionally small, with a cohort capped at 30 to 50 participants to preserve depth of discussion and individualised guidance. Beyond the curriculum, participants gain direct access to faculty and introductions across the Global Fintech Institute's global fintech, Web3, and RWA ecosystem. The course will be conducted in Mandarin, with simultaneous interpretation supported by Pnuts. Registration is open now, and seats are limited. For registration enquiries, contact: [email protected].
