The second and final day of Token2049 is a wrap! Today was packed with discussions around the future of Web3, the power of tokenization, and the role of stablecoins in the financial system. With numerous panels and networking sessions, here are the highlights from day two:
A key theme today was the growing potential of tokenization to transform asset ownership. From real estate to commodities, speakers discussed how blockchain technology can enable the tokenization of real-world assets, making them more liquid and accessible. By creating digital representations of physical assets, tokenization is not only democratizing investment opportunities but also improving the efficiency and transparency of asset transfers.
Stablecoins, and their relationship with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), sparked lively debate. The discussion centered on how stablecoins serve as a bridge between traditional financial systems and digital assets, offering liquidity and stability. Meanwhile, panelists explored the global race for CBDCs, with nations such as China and Singapore leading the charge. The consensus was clear: both stablecoins and CBDCs will play critical roles in the future financial ecosystem, though there are still challenges regarding regulation and interoperability to address.
As Web3 continues to evolve, privacy and data security were identified as critical issues. Panelists explored how privacy-preserving technologies, such as zero-knowledge proofs and multiparty computation (MPC), can help secure user data in decentralized systems. As users demand more control over their data, blockchain solutions that balance transparency with privacy are expected to be at the forefront of Web3’s development.
Bakyt Azimkanov, Head of Communications at Partisia Blockchain, offered his take on the day’s events:
“Tokenization and privacy-preserving technologies are opening new doors for Web3. Today’s discussions have made it clear that we are only scratching the surface of what is possible in decentralized finance and digital assets.”

We kicked off the first day in Singapore during Token2049. It is an honor to be a gold sponsor of the 2024 edition and discuss the advancement of the Web3 space during this eventful week. With a full schedule of panels and keynote sessions, here is a recap of today’s major themes:
One of the recurring topics is the institutional interest in blockchain and digital assets. Speakers from major financial institutions emphasized the increasing recognition of blockchain as a tool for improving operational efficiency, transparency, and compliance. The discussions touched on the integration of blockchain into traditional finance systems and the regulatory frameworks emerging across Europe and Asia, especially with Europe’s MiCA and Singapore’s regulatory advancements leading the charge.
DeFi was a major focus today as speakers explored how decentralized financial protocols are revolutionizing traditional banking services. With discussions around liquidity provision, decentralized exchanges, and lending protocols, panelists highlighted the potential of DeFi to enhance financial inclusion while lowering transaction costs. Security and governance within DeFi ecosystems also took center stage, with new solutions being proposed to ensure the stability of these systems as they scale.
During one of the panel sessions hosted by Partisia Blockchain on Level 3, it was discussed that “structured products are the next big thing for DeFi integration, DeFi use work with DeFi if it is going to go mainstream”.
Web3 and its promise to reshape the internet are prominent today. Participants discussed the decentralized internet’s potential to return control of data and assets to users, moving away from the current centralized model. The conversation highlighted how Web3 infrastructure must evolve, addressing challenges related to scalability, interoperability, and user experience before it can achieve mainstream adoption.
Bakyt Azimkanov, Head of Communications at Partisia Blockchain Foundation, reflected on today’s sessions: “We are on the brink of a new era in digital assets and blockchain. The conversations today have shown how institutions and innovators are working together to create a more transparent, decentralized financial system.”
We look forward to sharing tomorrow’s highlights with you.

In the last week of May, the global healthcare community convened in Geneva for the 77th annual World Health Assembly of the World Health Organization. This significant event brought together corporate leaders, including pharmaceutical giants, insurance groups and hospital conglomerates, alongside government delegations from around the world. The assembly aimed to address pressing global health issues and explore innovative solutions.
A standout feature of our presence in Geneva was the active participation of Partisia Blockchain and its partner, the UNAIDS spin-off Health Innovation Exchange (HIEx). HIEx organized a series of high-profile events that tackled critical healthcare topics. Attendees included senior executives from Fortune 500 companies, healthcare professionals, fund managers, major foundations, technological innovators, donors, and high-ranking government officials, including ministers, vice ministers and ambassadors from multiple countries.
On 29 May 2024, Partisia Blockchain and HIEx marked a momentous occasion by unveiling a groundbreaking solution during a joint session. HIEx introduced a new platform, Vorne.ai, powered by Partisia Blockchain. This platform built on our technology addresses a significant challenge in healthcare fundraising: the lack of transparency regarding the impact of donations.
Vorne.ai revolutionizes the donation process by providing a simple one-click donation feature coupled with transparent value-chain reporting throughout the lifecycle of donated funds. This innovation allows donors to see the direct impact their contributions are making, enhancing trust and accountability.
Partisia Blockchain plays a pivotal role in this process by facilitating a one-to-one matching of donations with a stable token that is minted, used and tracked to ensure the traceability of each donation’s impact on supported causes. This cutting-edge technology was showcased to global delegations, demonstrating the transformative potential of blockchain and multiparty computation (MPC) technologies.
Our MPC technology is transforming healthcare, research and supply chains. This technology further enhances the capabilities of blockchain, offering new dimensions of security and privacy that are crucial for the healthcare sector. Here is how MPC is transforming various sectors:
Healthcare data privacy: MPC allows multiple parties to jointly compute a function over their inputs while keeping those inputs private. This is particularly valuable in healthcare, where patient data privacy is paramount. MPC enables secure data analysis and sharing among healthcare providers without compromising patient confidentiality, leading to better diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
Collaborative research: In the research sector, MPC facilitates secure collaboration between institutions. Researchers can share and analyze sensitive data without exposing it to unauthorized parties. This accelerates the pace of medical discoveries while maintaining data privacy and security.
Pharmaceutical industry: MPC technology ensures secure sharing of proprietary data among pharmaceutical companies during medicine development. It enables collaborative research and development while protecting intellectual property, thus fostering innovation, reducing inefficiencies and accelerating the creation of new therapies.
Medical supply chain management: MPC enhances supply chain transparency and security. By ensuring that sensitive information, such as components, pricing and supplier details, is protected, MPC allows stakeholders to verify the authenticity and quality of medical supplies without exposing confidential data. This leads to a more reliable and efficient supply chain.
