From Barcelona With Buzz: How REAL Conquered the European Blockchain Convention

Barcelona's energy doesn't fade easily. Even with the lights dimmed and the crowds gone, the pulse of the European Blockchain Convention (EBC) still beats through our team. For REAL, EBC11 wasn't just another stop on the calendar. It was a defining moment. We didn't just attend; we connected, pitched, debated, and walked away as one of theTop 5 Finalistsin the prestigious Startup Battle. A milestone that cements our place at the forefront of the real world asset (RWA) revolution.

Day 1: Vision Meets Momentum

The opening day was electric. Thousands of innovators, investors, and builders filled the venue, and every conversation buzzed with ideas about where blockchain is headed next. We dove into discussions with VCs, founders, and media teams fromCointelegraph,Bitcoin.com,Codecraft,Zebu, andUN:BLOCK, exploring synergies and mapping new collaborations.

When our CEO and Co-founderIvo Grigorovtook the main startup stage, the energy reached its peak. In front of a packed crowd of industry leaders, he shared REAL's vision for RWA tokenization and how on chain finance can finally bridge the world of traditional assets and blockchain. The feedback was immediate and powerful. Attendees recognized REAL not as just another Web3 project, but as a tangible solution redefining finance itself.

The Q&A that followed was intense, a real dialogue between innovators who see the same horizon. Those exchanges reminded us that the space isn't just growing; it's maturing.

Day 2: Beyond the Pitch, Building the Future

If Day 1 was about making noise, Day 2 was about depth. While our team worked the floor,Ivojoined theOKX Stagefor a panel titled—What Happens When Assets Move On Chain, Is It Better Than Our Existing System?—. The conversation went straight to the heart of what drives us, how tokenized assets can reshape ownership, liquidity, and access. It was one of those moments when alignment between panelists and audience was undeniable. You could feel the collective understanding that this is the next great shift in finance.

Offstage, the conversations kept flowing with new connections fromVComms.io,Yellow Capital,MEXC Ventures,Market Across,Deskoin,Meria,Hash Consulting, andZero Spread, all sharing the same belief that RWA tokenization is no longer a concept, but a movement.

A Top 5 Finish And a Bigger Beginning

The event closed with theEBC Startup Battle Finals, held on theBitpanda Main Stage, a showcase of Europe's most promising startups in DeFi, AI, and tokenization. Standing among the top 5 finalists was more than recognition; it was validation, proof that our vision and technology are resonating where it matters most.

We're grateful to the EBC organizers and to the ecosystem players who made this event what it was, fromAsseteraandOKXtoBitpandaandOne.io, each helping push the conversation forward for blockchain's real world adoption.

The Takeaway: Real People, Real Assets, Real Impact

EBC11 reminded us that progress in blockchain isn't built in isolation. It's a network of ideas, trust, and collaboration. We left Barcelona with new partners, stronger relationships, and a renewed conviction that we're building something truly transformative.

The future of real world asset tokenization isn't years away. It's happening now, andREALis proud to help lead the charge.

The journey doesn't end here. It only scales from here.
