What Was ONCHAIN 2024?
ONCHAIN 2024 was billed as Asia's first conference focused on the real-world asset (RWA) industry, held in Bangkok, Thailand, on 26 April 2024. It brought together founders and leaders from traditional finance (TradFi), fintech, and Web3 to talk about putting real assets, like bonds and property, on-chain. The official page sat on the ONCHAIN 2024 site. By zeroing in on RWA, the event sat at the exact point where old finance meets new rails.
RWA tokenization is one of the biggest themes in crypto, and ONCHAIN gave it a dedicated Asian stage. To follow similar gatherings and tokenized-asset shows, check the crypto events calendar and our digital asset events list.
Key Themes at ONCHAIN
The agenda matched a TradFi-meets-Web3 crowd:
- Tokenization of real-world assets like bonds, funds, and property.
- TradFi and fintech moving on-chain.
- Stablecoins and settlement for tokenized markets.
- Regulation and custody for security tokens.
The mix of bankers, fintech founders, and Web3 builders made for sharp, practical talks. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How RWA and Crypto Are Growing in Thailand
Thailand has moved fast on real-world assets, which makes it a fitting host for an RWA event. The Thai Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulates digital assets under the Digital Asset Business Decree of 2018 and has built a clear framework for investment tokens and tokenized securities. In 2025, the SEC widened its digital asset sandbox to cover RWA tokenization, letting things like property and infrastructure be represented as on-chain tokens.
The headline proof came with the G-Token. Unveiled by the Ministry of Finance in 2025 and issued under the Public Debt Management Act, it became the world's first publicly offered tokenized government bond, letting retail investors buy in from as little as about 1,000 baht. The SEC also allowed securities firms to offer investment-token services and let mutual and private funds invest in digital assets. With its "Digital Asset Hub" ambition, SEC-licensed exchanges like Bitkub, and a tax exemption on crypto gains via licensed platforms through 2029, Thailand has become a leading Asian base for tokenized finance.

Impact of the Event on Asia's RWA Space
Asia's first RWA conference helped move the whole theme forward. It put bankers, fintech leaders, and Web3 builders in one room to solve real problems. It showed that tokenized bonds and property are practical, not just hype. And it placed Bangkok at the centre of Asia's RWA story, a position Thailand later cemented with its tokenized government bond. Each edition pushes tokenized finance closer to the mainstream.
