India, 16th May 2026 — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, highlighted the growing role of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization and blockchain-based infrastructure in expanding access to investment opportunities during discussions at theWorld Fintech Summit 2026. As part of the panel discussion titled “Vision 2030: Building India’s $1 Trillion Fintech Economy with Karnataka at the Forefront,” the company underscored how tokenization can enable fractional ownership, making financial products more accessible to retail investors while helping bridge gaps in access to capital and supporting the development of more inclusive financial ecosystems.

At the summit, Mykolas Majauskas, Global Head of Policy at Bybit, delivered a keynote presentation focused on Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization and participated in the panel discussion titled “Vision 2030: Building India’s $1 Trillion Fintech Economy with Karnataka at the Forefront.” The sessions explored the growing role of tokenization in expanding access to capital markets and enabling broader participation in financial ecosystems.

During the discussions, Majauskas spoke about how RWA tokenization can democratize access to financial products through fractional ownership, making investment opportunities more accessible to India’s rapidly growing retail investor base. He also highlighted how blockchain-based financial infrastructure can help bridge gaps in access to capital, particularly for emerging and underserved segments.

The keynote further explored how tokenization can unlock liquidity in traditionally illiquid asset classes such as real estate, infrastructure, and private assets by transforming them into digitally accessible, transferable financial instruments. The presentation also highlighted India’s strong potential to lead the next phase of tokenized capital markets, supported by its digital public infrastructure, rising retail participation, and rapidly expanding digital economy.

Addressing the evolving regulatory landscape, Majauskas emphasized the importance of governments and regulators exploring the long-term economic and financial inclusion benefits of tokenization frameworks. He further noted that public-private collaboration will play a critical role in shaping the responsible adoption of tokenized finance and digital asset infrastructure.

Commenting on Bybit’s participation, Majauskas said, “India continues to emerge as one of the most dynamic fintech markets globally, supported by strong digital infrastructure, growing retail participation, and rapid innovation. Tokenization has the potential to expand access to capital markets and create more inclusive financial ecosystems. Meaningful collaboration between policymakers, industry stakeholders and technology leaders will be essential in enabling responsible innovation and unlocking long-term value for the broader economy.”

During the summit, Bybit also engaged with key leaders, including Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, CEO of KDEM (Karnataka Digital Economy Mission), along with other senior policymakers and industry participants from across the ecosystem to explore collaboration opportunities.

Bybit’s participation at the World Fintech Summit 2026 further strengthened the company’s engagement with India’s fintech and policy ecosystem while reinforcing its focus on supporting conversations around responsible innovation, digital asset infrastructure and the future of tokenized finance.
