Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin brings back real value at Token2049 Dubai
Speaking live from Token2049 Dubai, the biggest crypto event of the year, Crypto OGS founder Andres Meneses announced a bold new vision for Bitcoin in 2025: real assets, real utility, real value.
'Crypto is coming full circle,' Meneses said. 'We're moving past hype and speculation. Bitcoin is stepping into the real world — unlocking real assets, not just promises.'
The global tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) is accelerating, with the market projected to reach $16 trillion by 2030 according to Boston Consulting Group. In 2024 alone, tokenized RWA platforms surpassed $3.1 billion in value. Real estate — a $326 trillion global asset class — is now becoming blockchain's biggest real-world use case.
While Ethereum has been the traditional leader, Bitcoin is emerging as the new foundation for tokenization, thanks to innovations like Mintlayer — a Bitcoin-native Layer 2 enabling the tokenization of real estate, equities, and more with Bitcoin's superior security and instant settlement.
'The Middle East is leading this movement,' Meneses said, pointing to Dubai and Riyadh's progressive crypto regulations like VARA. 'Sovereign wealth funds, developers, and fintech companies are now using blockchain to open real-world assets to global markets — and they're building on Bitcoin.'
At Token2049, Meneses is rallying the industry to focus on real value and real adoption. 'Crypto was always meant to change the world — not just trade coins. It's time to build a financial system rooted in transparency, hard assets, and Bitcoin's hard money principles.'
He ended with a clear call to action: 'Build on Bitcoin. Tokenize the real world. The future is happening now — and it's starting right here in Dubai.'
