India’s fintech ambitions just got a powerful endorsement from the blockchain world. At the **World Fintech Summit 2026**, **Bybit’s** Mykolas Majauskas made a compelling case for why **Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation** could be the infrastructure India needs to hit its $1 trillion fintech economy target by 2030 — and why the window to act is now.

### What Is RWA Tokenisation and Why Does India Need It?

[Real-world asset tokenisation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokenization_(data_security)) refers to the process of converting physical or traditionally illiquid assets — like real estate, infrastructure, or private equity — into digital tokens on a blockchain, making them tradeable and accessible to a far wider pool of investors.

For India, where millions of retail investors are entering capital markets for the first time, this is a significant leap. Majauskas argued that tokenisation enables **fractional ownership**, meaning a first-time investor in Bengaluru or Bhopal could own a slice of a large infrastructure project or commercial property that was previously only accessible to institutions or the ultra-wealthy.

### Key Takeaways from Majauskas’s Keynote

**1. Democratising Capital Access** Tokenisation breaks down investment barriers for India’s rapidly growing retail investor base by enabling smaller ticket sizes and broader product access.

**2. Unlocking Illiquid Markets** Assets like real estate, infrastructure, and private funds — historically hard to trade — can become digitally transferable instruments, dramatically improving liquidity.

**3. India’s Unique Advantage** With its robust digital public infrastructure (think UPI, Aadhaar, DigiLocker) and surging digital economy, India is uniquely positioned to lead the next phase of tokenised capital markets globally.

**4. Regulation Is the Catalyst, Not the Barrier** Majauskas stressed that thoughtful public-private collaboration — not excessive restriction — will define how responsibly tokenised finance scales in India.

As he put it: *“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.”*

### Bybit’s Deeper India Play

Beyond the keynote, Bybit used the summit to engage directly with **Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, CEO of the Karnataka Digital Economy Mission (KDEM)**, signalling a genuine intent to partner with state-level digital economy initiatives — not just participate in panel discussions.

Karnataka, home to Bengaluru’s tech ecosystem, is being positioned as a frontrunner in India’s fintech expansion, and Bybit’s engagement here suggests the exchange is eyeing deeper regulatory and institutional relationships in the country.
