IXS 2025 Roadmap: Key Achievements and Strategic Plans for the Future
As 2025 progresses, IXS is making bold strides in its mission to revolutionize institutional finance. CEO Julian Kwan and Co-founder Aaron Ong recently outlined IXS’s impressive achievements and shared an ambitious roadmap for the future. From expanding into new markets to pioneering technological innovations, IXS is poised to lead the charge in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).
Here’s a closer look at IXS's progress so far in 2025 and what’s on the horizon.
Key Achievements in 2025 So Far
1. Successful Integration into Institutional Markets
Union Chain: A defining milestone this year is IXS’s role in co-founding Union Chain, a groundbreaking RWA tokenization Layer-2 Network. This first-of-its-kind collaboration sets a new standard for tokenized asset liquidity and positions IXS as a leader in the RWA space.
CEX Integration: Thanks to Union Chain, IXS has partnered with four major CEXes, unlocking access to a tokenized marketplace for over 20 million users. This expansion directly connects millions of users to the world of institutional-grade RWAs.
2. Strategic Repositioning and Rebranding
In response to the growing demand from institutional investors, IXS undertook a comprehensive rebranding. This includes a new logo and a refined positioning strategy, solidifying IXS’s role as the leader in blockchain and tokenization solutions for large-scale issuers. This shift reflects IXS’s evolution and its increasing focus on institutional partners and digital asset innovation.
3. Regulatory Leadership and Licensing Advancements
IXS remains a leader in regulatory compliance, recently securing key licenses such as the Funds Management License. This will enable retail investors to access institutional-grade RWA investments, opening up opportunities previously reserved for high-net-worth individuals and large institutions.
4. Advancements in Technological Infrastructure
IXS v2: Our next-gen platform, IXS v2, is set to revolutionize the way institutional investors engage with tokenized assets. This upgrade goes beyond the DEX v2; it introduces advanced liquidity pools, customized trading features, and robust security measures designed specifically for large-scale investors.
What’s Next for IXS: The Road Ahead
IXS is moving at full speed, and 2025 promises to be a pivotal year. Here’s what’s on the horizon:
1. Expanding U.S. Presence and Institutional Adoption
The U.S. market is now primed for expansion, thanks to favorable regulatory shifts. IXS is ready to capitalize on this opportunity, particularly with 60-70% of our web traffic already coming from the U.S. We’re focusing on increasing our footprint in the country, where the demand for tokenized treasuries and money market funds is at an all-time high.
Julian Kwan on U.S. Expansion: “The U.S. has gone from being a challenging market for crypto to becoming the global epicenter for blockchain and RWAs. This shift opens up huge opportunities for us.”
2. Onboarding Institutional Funds and Expanding Asset Offerings
IXS is preparing to onboard a variety of institutional funds, starting with Money Market Funds and Credit Funds. These funds will diversify investment portfolios and provide stable, yield-generating opportunities for large investors. We’re also working to expand our offerings by exploring partnerships with corporate bond funds, real estate funds, and carbon credit funds.
3. Continued Growth in Partnerships and Distribution
IXS plans to deepen its ties with top-tier U.S. institutions and global fintech giants. Through our Union Chain partnership, we’re scaling the distribution of tokenized RWAs, and by mid-year, we plan to integrate with several more centralized exchanges, further enhancing our global reach.
4. Clearpool Integration and Liquidity Enhancement
The upcoming Clearpool integration will allow tokenized RWA investments to be collateralized, providing a new liquidity pathway for institutional investors. This development will improve access to capital through decentralized credit markets, enhancing liquidity across the platform.
5. Technological Innovation: IXS v2 and Platform Enhancements
The launch of IXS v2 will not only improve liquidity pools but also introduce advanced features tailored for institutional needs. Enhanced API development, customized exchange integrations, and improved security measures will ensure IXS remains at the cutting edge of RWA tokenization. We’re also enhancing our smart contracts to ensure they meet the rigorous demands of institutional investors.
API Development: Our enhanced API integrations are expanding access to a wider range of institutions. We've completed integration with Web3 wallets and are now working on deepening our connections with exchanges, offering a customized UX that ensures seamless trading experiences for institutions.
6. A New Look for IXS: Website Relaunch and Rebranding
As part of our strategic shift to align with growing institutional demand, IXS is unveiling a complete website relaunch. The new site reflects our evolution into a recognized leader in institutional RWA liquidity. With an improved user experience and easier navigation, the site will offer clearer access to IXS’s expanding range of institutional solutions.
The Bigger Picture: A Bright Future for IXS
Despite short-term market volatility, IXS's long-term outlook remains strong. U.S. government support for blockchain technology and tokenized assets positions IXS to capitalize on the growing demand for institutional-grade liquidity in the RWA market.
As IXS continues to expand its presence in the U.S. and onboard high-value institutional clients, we are well-positioned to lead the way in tokenized RWAs, creating innovative solutions that will shape the future of financial markets.
Final Thoughts
IXS is poised for an exciting 2025. With impressive achievements already under our belt and major projects ahead, we’re on track to lead the charge in institutional-grade RWA liquidity. We’re excited to continue building a transparent, compliant platform that serves global institutions and paves the way for the future of finance.
Aaron highlighted: “The inbound inquiries from institutional groups have never been better. This is the best situation we’ve had in the RWA space to execute deals, and we’re incredibly excited about what’s coming next.”
Julian added: “We are in a great space. Everyone needs to be patient and focus on the bigger picture. The fundamentals of blockchain and RWA tokenization have never been stronger, despite the market volatility.”
