Hamze Fawzi on Gulf–Japan Crypto Bridge, RWA & Institutional Adoption

Author: Bitcoin.com April 14, 2026 Duration: 23:56

Hamze Fawzi, Founder and Chairman of Assets Advisors Capital (AAC), joins Bitcoin.com News to discuss the growing financial bridge between the Gulf region and Japan, and how institutional infrastructure is shaping the future of crypto.


In this episode, Hamze explains why traditional financial systems failed to connect these two major economies—and how blockchain, tokenization, and “capital architecture” are now unlocking new cross-border opportunities. He shares insights into how institutional investors approach risk, governance, and geopolitical events differently from retail participants.


The conversation also explores the rise of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, the role of compliant and non-custodial platforms like Mirai X, and why Japan’s leadership in CBDCs and stablecoins could play a key role in the next phase of global finance.

From capital flows driven by presence and relationships to the importance of trust and governance structures, this episode provides a deep dive into how institutions are entering Web3.


Topics include: institutional crypto adoption, Gulf–Japan finance, RWA tokenization, stablecoins, CBDCs, Web3 infrastructure, capital markets, blockchain regulation, and global crypto trends.
