Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, February 20th, 2025, Chainwire
Aura Network has secured a strategic investment from FPT Corporation to develop its infrastructure as an RWA Chain for Enterprise, Entertainment, and Government.
Aura Network, a blockchain platform dedicated to real-world asset (RWA) tokenization for enterprise, entertainment, and government innovation, has received a strategic investment from FPT Corporation, a leading tech giant in SEA. The funding is to support the expansion of Aura Network’s RWA Layer 1 blockchain, reinforcing its position as a key player in enterprise, entertainment, and government blockchain adoption.
This investment comes at a time when blockchain adoption and RWA tokenization continue to rise across traditional industries, with enterprises seeking secure, scalable, and interoperable solutions. With backing from FPT’s extensive network in technology, telecommunications, and education, Aura Network is poised to scale its infrastructure to meet the growing demand for enterprise blockchain solutions in Asia.
“With FPT’s backing and resources, we are not just aiming to compete; we are striving to build a future where blockchain technology empowers economic individuals and transforms industries.” — Giang Tran, CEO of Aura Network.
Expanding Aura Network’s RWA Ecosystem
The funding will enable Aura Network to expand its team, accelerate marketing efforts, and bring new blockchain-based products to market. One of Aura Network’s key initiatives is Aura Pay, a payment solution designed to drive mainstream adoption by integrating $AURA payments into everyday transactions. More details on this initiative will be shared soon as the team actively develops the product.
In addition, Aura Network has secured regulatory sandbox approval to roll out crypto-related services in Da Nang (Vietnam) and Cambodia, positioning itself as a key player in regulated blockchain adoption within the region. This regulatory clearance gives the platform a competitive edge in the region’s evolving blockchain market and is expected to facilitate future licensing and large-scale implementations.
As part of its expansion strategy, Aura Network is expected to prioritize several key areas to enhance its RWA infrastructure:
- Asset Tokenization: Developing a robust framework to tokenize real-world assets such as real estate, bonds, and commodities, enabling seamless digital ownership and transferability.
- Enterprise Solutions: Building specialized blockchain solutions tailored to corporate needs, allowing businesses to leverage RWA tokenization for efficiency and transparency.
- Government Partnerships: Collaborating with regulatory bodies to create compliant blockchain solutions that facilitate digital identity verification, document notarization, and asset tracking.
- Cross-Border Interoperability: Establishing strategic partnerships to connect Aura’s RWA ecosystem with global financial markets, fostering liquidity and new investment opportunities.
Aura Network has also formed partnerships with several Web2 enterprises, including Canow, AIA, Ahamove, AhaFast, Beyond C, and Digital Fly Studio, as well as a partnership with the Government of Sierra Leone. These collaborations further strengthen its position in bridging blockchain technology with real-world applications.
The Growing Market for RWA Tokenization
The tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is experiencing rapid growth, with the total value locked (TVL) in the sector reaching an all-time high of $17.1 billion, reflecting a 94% increase year-over-year (according to RWA.xyz). This surge is driven by increasing institutional interest and broader macroeconomic trends, signaling blockchain’s expanding role in traditional finance.
Southeast Asia is emerging as a key region for RWA tokenization growth, driven by rising blockchain adoption, fintech innovation, and increasing demand for digital assets. Countries like Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, and Indonesia are establishing regulatory frameworks that support tokenized assets, providing a clearer pathway for institutional participation.
As regulatory clarity improves, blockchain platforms specializing in RWA, like Aura Network, are well-positioned to bridge traditional financial markets with decentralized solutions. This shift is expected to unlock new opportunities for asset management, liquidity, and capital flows across the region.
