Amid the rapid evolution of global digital finance, DBT Protocol has officially announced a landmark brand upgrade — evolving from DBT Finance into a comprehensive platform dedicated to the tokenization of Real-World Assets (RWA).

This transformation represents far more than a protocol upgrade; it signifies DBT’s transition from DeFi into a broader, more disruptive era of RWA innovation.

Strategic Vision: Tokenize Everything — unlocking the $10 trillion blue ocean of opportunity.

The vision of DBT Protocol can be summed up in four words: Tokenize Everything.

In the real world, trillions of dollars in illiquid assets remain constrained by the traditional financial system’s high barriers to entry, inefficiency, and geographic limitations. With the advent of RWA tokenization technology, assets such as real estate, receivables, green energy revenue rights, and bonds can be transformed into composable, tradable, and freely flowing on-chain assets.

According to forecasts by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and McKinsey, the RWA market is expected to surpass $10 trillion. Leveraging its forward-looking strategic positioning and technological strength, DBT Protocol is determined to seize this blue ocean opportunity and establish itself as a pioneer and leader in the global RWA track.

Core Essence of the Brand Upgrade

This strategic upgrade is anchored on three key pillars:

From DeFi Protocol to RWA Ecosystem: Moving beyond liquidity mining and trading mechanisms to build a full-stack ecosystem that encompasses asset tokenization, liquidity markets, and governance frameworks.

Mission of Inclusive Finance: Breaking down the barriers of traditional finance, enabling global users to access safe, transparent, and efficient financial services without high entry thresholds.

Strengthening Cross-Sector Collaboration & Real-World Applications: Focusing on areas such as energy, green finance, real estate, and receivables, while exploring large-scale RWA adoption within the real economy.

First Strategic Partnership: Vietnam’s First RWA FinTech Sandbox

As the first landmark initiative following its brand upgrade, DBT Protocol has announced a strategic collaboration with Vietnam’s national energy giant, PetroVietnam Power Corporation (PVPower), to launch the country’s first RWA FinTech Sandbox project.

The project will tokenize the long-term, stable electricity revenue rights generated by PVPower’s “Household Energy” business, converting them into digital tokens known as POW-GBT. Through the RWA tokenization model, this initiative will not only open innovative and cost-effective financing channels for clean energy infrastructure but also deliver the first green digital investment product in Vietnam and Southeast Asia that is deeply tied to the real economy.

This marks a critical step forward for RWA adoption in the Southeast Asian market and will serve as a replicable international case study for energy finance innovation.

DeBox Ecosystem Empowerment: A Global, Socially-Driven RWA Inclusion Platform

The strategic upgrade of DBT Protocol is strongly supported by its ecosystem partner DeBox. As a leading Web3 super application, DeBox has surpassed 20 million registered users, with over 100 million daily messages, and a user base spanning more than 120 countries worldwide.

Leveraging DeBox’s integrated ecosystem of social networking, wallet services, and DAO governance, DBT Protocol can rapidly reach a global base of real users and accelerate the adoption of RWA through the viral effects of social interaction. This means DBT’s RWA products are not merely financial instruments, but also inclusive asset gateways that are accessible, participatory, and shareable for users worldwide.

RWA: The Next-Generation Engine of Web3 Finance

RWA (Real-World Assets) is regarded as the third core engine driving Web3 into large-scale adoption, following DeFi and NFTs. DBT Protocol recognizes this trend and is actively engaging in deep collaborations with top global institutions, enterprises, and technology partners to continuously expand the boundaries of RWA. From energy to real estate, from bills to carbon trading, RWA use cases are steadily unfolding. Through its technology and strategic vision, DBT Protocol aims to build an efficient, transparent, and trustworthy bridge between global investors and the real economy, truly realizing financial democratization and asset digitization.

This brand upgrade marks not only a significant milestone in DBT Protocol’s development but also a critical moment for the maturation of the entire RWA ecosystem. From DeFi to RWA, from financial innovation to real-world economic empowerment, DBT Protocol is writing a new chapter in the integration of Web3 and traditional industries with its vision of “Onboarding Everything onto the Chain.”

Looking ahead, as more strategic partnerships and real-world applications take shape, DBT Protocol will continue to drive the wave of RWA digitization, positioning itself as a core engine of the new era of global finance.
