Industry Partners Join Forces to Build the Consumer RWA Ecosystem and Explore New Pathways for AI, Web3 and Real-World Consumption

HONG KONG, June 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The GLOBAL CONSUMER RWA SUMMIT 2026 was successfully held at the Charles K. Kao Auditorium, Hong Kong Science Park. The summit was jointly hosted by RWA.LTD, EOS, PG Protocol, GRIF and RWX, with media support from Feixiaohao.ai, ME, ChainCatcher, Odaily, Foresight News, PANews, MarsBit, CoinDesk, Bitcoin Magazine and other leading domestic and international media platforms. The event brought together distinguished guests from public affairs, finance, real-world industries, technology and Web3 to explore new opportunities in Consumer RWA, digital assets, AI and Web3 integration.

Under the theme “Connecting Global Consumption and Renewing the Value Ecosystem”, the summit focused on “RWA Powers the Next Wave of Real-World Consumption”, exploring the digital transformation of global consumer industries, innovative applications of real-world assets, brand value circulation, AI-driven industrial upgrading and Web3 infrastructure development. More than a single project showcase, the summit served as an industry-level platform for the global Consumer RWA ecosystem, connecting industrial resources, technology platforms, consumer brands, investment institutions, media organizations and Web3 partners to support the transition of Consumer RWA from concept discussion to real-world implementation.

During the opening session, distinguished guests delivered remarks and shared their views on the global digital economy, Hong Kong’s international advantages, consumer industry transformation and the development of the RWA ecosystem. Participants noted that RWA is becoming an important bridge between the real economy and the digital economy, while Consumer RWA, with its strong connection to real consumption scenarios, brand rights and user demand, has broad potential for practical industry adoption.

One of the key highlights of the summit was the official launch of Health Token. Built around the healthcare and consumer ecosystem, Health Token explores new ways to connect quality healthcare resources, consumer rights and digital services, offering a new direction for the digital transformation and value circulation of the healthcare industry. The launch also marked another important step in the application of Consumer RWA within health-related consumption scenarios.

The summit also featured the establishment and certificate presentation ceremony of the GLOBAL CONSUMER RWA SUMMIT 2026 Presidium. Representatives from public affairs, financial investment, Web3 technology, real-world industries, international business and consumer brands joined the ceremony on stage, marking a new stage of structured, organized and international collaboration for the global Consumer RWA ecosystem. The Presidium will focus on compliance research, industry standards, real-world implementation, international cooperation, brand globalization and project incubation, helping the Consumer RWA industry build a more open, practical and sustainable collaboration mechanism.

The summit also presented the Consumer RWA Alliance and its industry collaboration mechanism. Jointly promoted by RWA.LTD, multiple industry organizations, technology platforms and international ecosystem partners, the mechanism aims to connect global consumer brands, real-world enterprises, technology platforms, investment institutions, cross-border industrial resources and media partners. It is designed to help projects with real consumption scenarios complete digital transformation, rights design, brand growth and global market connection. The collaboration will further promote Consumer RWA from individual projects to broader industry coordination, providing real-world enterprises with new pathways for asset circulation, user engagement and brand value release.

During the summit, the concept of a Consumer RWA Sandbox was also introduced. Based on the principles of “compliance first, scenario-based validation, redeemable rights and controllable risks,” the sandbox aims to provide a pilot environment for healthcare consumption, brand membership rights, IP assets, physical goods, cross-border consumer services, supply chain assets and other real consumption scenarios. Through the sandbox mechanism, project owners can test product structures, redemption processes, compliance frameworks, user experience, technical integration and business models before broader market deployment, reducing innovation risks and improving implementation efficiency.

RWA.LTD stated that the development of Consumer RWA should not remain at the level of conceptual packaging. Instead, it should be built on real consumer demand, verifiable assets, redeemable rights and compliant operations. Going forward, RWA.LTD will work with Presidium members, co-hosts, industry partners, technology service providers and global ecosystem resources to bring more projects with real business scenarios and sustainable value into the sandbox, gradually building a replicable, scalable and international development path for Consumer RWA.

In addition, the summit featured a book launch ceremony for “RWA: Reconstructing Financial Business Models”, co-authored by Dou Jun, Secretary General of the Hong Kong RWA Global Industry Alliance. The book explores the industrial logic, business models and practical pathways of RWA, providing industry participants with further theoretical and case-based references.

Tony Fu, Founder and CEO of RWA.LTD, delivered a keynote speech titled “Compliance Process for Consumer RWA”. In his presentation, he explained the core logic of Consumer RWA from the perspectives of product design, compliance framework, rights circulation, real-world implementation and ecosystem collaboration. He noted that Consumer RWA is not simply about putting assets on-chain. Rather, it should be built on real consumer demand and redeemable rights, forming a sustainable, verifiable and implementable value loop. Only by combining compliance with real industry scenarios can Consumer RWA truly serve the real economy and create long-term value for brands, users and ecosystem partners.

The summit also featured multiple keynote sessions, panel discussions and project roadshows covering topics such as verifiable on-chain economies in the AI era, the full lifecycle of RWA implementation, Web3 communities and DApps empowering RWA ecosystems, AI + RWA digital financial services, global payments, IP and AI entertainment ecosystems, new energy, cultural asset trading and Web3 commerce networks.

During the project showcase and roadshow sessions, the summit presented a wide range of representative projects related to Consumer RWA, AI, Web3, payments, IP, green energy and the digital transformation of real-world industries, including GRIF, GWA Web4.0, Ave.ai, DeBox, EOS, Zypher DAO, FizzDragon, Gat Pay, Fufuture, exSat, Thailand New Energy Vehicle Project, HGDAO & YH, Octopus Paul, Tianfu Tianmeishi, Hubei Senpin Youxuan, Tianyuan Group, Phenix, VITAL-X and KTX. These projects demonstrated the application potential of Consumer RWA across on-chain trading, Web3 communities, AI film, global payments, real-world consumption, IP assets, cultural assets, new energy and Web3 commerce ecosystems.

During the panel sessions, guests discussed topics including “Development and Implementation of the Consumer RWA Sector” and “Consumption as Capital: Connecting Industry Liquidity Through Blockchain.” The discussions explored how RWA can help real-world enterprises improve asset efficiency, expand growth channels and build new models of industry collaboration from the perspectives of enterprise pain points, brand globalization, inventory circulation, cross-border resource allocation, on-chain tools and ecosystem development.

During the summit, several partnership signing ceremonies were held, covering cooperation between RWA infrastructure partners and the Singapore RWA Incubation Fund, strategic cooperation between EOS and a Singapore RWA company, collaboration among Korean enterprises, GRIF and RWA infrastructure partners, as well as a three-party partnership among the Singapore RWA Incubation Fund, VITAL-X and RWA.LTD. These partnerships are expected to further promote resource integration across different regions, industries and technology ecosystems, supporting the real-world implementation of Consumer RWA in Asia and global markets.

The successful hosting of GLOBAL CONSUMER RWA SUMMIT 2026 provided a high-quality platform for the global Consumer RWA industry and further brought together forces from Web3, AI, real-world industries, fintech, media and international organizations. With the continued development of the Presidium mechanism, the sandbox mechanism, the Consumer RWA Alliance collaboration mechanism and multiple industry partnerships, Consumer RWA is expected to become an important new infrastructure connecting real-world consumption, brand value and the digital economy.

PARIS and RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Aug. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Esports Foundation announced that AG.AL has been crowned Esports World Cup 2026 Club Champion, bringing seven weeks of competition in Paris, France to a close after more than 2,000 players, representing 200 Clubs and over 100 countries, competed across 25 tournaments in 24 games, for a record-breaking $75 million prize pool.

AG.AL secured the $7 million Club Championship title with 5,300 points after a dramatic win in Trackmania, completing a campaign that also included a first place finish in TEKKEN 8, second place finishes in Chess, Free Fire and the Honor of Kings World Cup, and a third place finish in Teamfight Tactics. Team Falcons finished second with 4,600 points, followed by Team Vitality with 3,300 points, Natus Vincere with 2,950 points, and Team Liquid with 2,700 points.

The title was decided on the final weekend, when AG.AL’s Gwendal “Gwen” Duparc won the EWC’s inaugural Trackmania tournament to secure the Club Championship. Two-time defending Club Champions Team Falcons entered the Trackmania playoffs leading the overall standings, but Carl-Antoni “Carl Jr.” Cloutier’s quarterfinal exit opened the door for AG.AL. Needing to finish third or better, Gwen dominated the final to claim the $130,000 tournament prize and the EWC 2026 Club Championship for AG.AL.

“We are proud of what the Esports World Cup has achieved in Paris and of its continued international growth,” said His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan al Saud, Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Esports Foundation. “Bringing the EWC to a global audience beyond Saudi Arabia marks an important milestone in its journey and reflects the growing recognition of esports as a global industry, connecting communities, cultures and audiences around the world. The attendance of His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, alongside President Emmanuel Macron, is a testament to the growing importance and global interest in esports, and to how far the industry has come. I extend my congratulations to all the players, Clubs, publishers, partners and organisers who contributed to this edition. Paris has been an important chapter in the EWC journey, and we look forward to building on this progress in the years ahead.”

“When we began expanding AG.AL globally in 2024, the same year the Esports World Cup launched, we set out to build a Club capable of succeeding across games, regions and cultures. This title shows how far that vision has come,” said Eddy Chen, COO at AG.AL. “Our journey in Paris reflected the strength of the entire organization, from M. Zubair’s breakthrough in TEKKEN 8 and our deep runs across multiple titles to Gwen delivering the decisive Trackmania victory under extraordinary pressure. But this trophy belongs equally to every player, coach and staff member whose dedication brought us here. I want to thank our Chairman, Mr. Layne Le, whose belief and leadership made this journey possible, and the Esports Foundation for creating a global stage that rewards the depth and ambition of an entire Club. Winning the Club Championship is a historic milestone for AG.AL and a proud moment for everyone who believed in what we are building.”

From start to finish, EWC Paris 2026 showcased elite play and the very best of esports, as legends rose and new stars were born. France’s Caliste “Caliste” Henry-Hennebert led Karmine Corp on a fairytale run to the League of Legends Grand Final in front of a home crowd, while 15-year-old Chilean Jaime “Craime” Bustos defeated two EVO champions to become the youngest EWC champion in history.

AG.AL’s Khawaja “M. Zubair” secured the TEKKEN 8 championship trophy while claiming the Jafonso Award for emerging from the LCQ to win the title. In the closing weeks, Samy “dralii” Hajji became the first-ever three-time EWC champion after his third victory in Rocket League, and grandmaster Magnus Carlsen repeated as Chess champion without losing a single game.

EWC Paris 2026 also established new records across the board compared to 2025. Distributed globally by more than 100 broadcast and OTT partners in 47 languages and supported by 5,000 participating creators and co-streamers, the EWC reached 850 million viewers and generated 440 million hours watched, up 13% and 26%, respectively, with peak viewership of 4.3 million registered during the League of Legends tournament.

The event generated 175,000 tickets sold to esports competitions, up 94% compared to 2025. Including venues, Fan Fest and city activations, 2 million total visits were recorded over the seven-week period.

The EWC 2026 was the culmination of a year-round competitive journey. More than 1.5 million players competed through 330 Road to EWC events, connecting publisher competitions, qualification pathways and the Club Championship into a global season that Clubs, players and fans could follow from the first qualifier to today’s final trophy lift.

“Our ambition has always been bigger than a single event: to grow esports and establish it as a leading global sport,” said Ralf Reichert, Chief Executive Officer of the Esports Foundation. “The Esports World Cup brings that mission to life by bringing the best games, players, Clubs and communities together on one global stage. Paris embraced the Esports World Cup and made it its own. The city showed that competitive gaming belongs on the world’s biggest stages while staying true to what makes esports special. Thank you to the city of Paris for seven weeks of incredible support and fandom. And congratulations to AG.AL on an extraordinary Club Championship victory and on earning their place in esports history.”

As the first Esports World Cup hosted outside Riyadh, Paris marked a significant step in the event’s global evolution. French Clubs competed in front of sold-out home audiences, more than 22,600 campaign placements carried EWC across the capital to reach 94% of Parisians, and tournament symbols appeared at the city’s most popular landmarks, including on the Champs-Élysées and beside the Eiffel Tower. Record ticket sales culminated with the final weekend’s Counter-Strike tournament moving to the 20,000-seat Accor Arena.

The EWC’s impact will continue beyond the competition weeks. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Esports Foundation and the French Ministry of Sports, Youth and Community Life established a framework for long-term cooperation around youth development, digital skills, esports participation and French talent, building on the connection created between EWC and France this summer.

Paris now sends the Esports World Cup into its next era with new champions, new records and a global foundation for hosting in the world’s leading cities. As the first international host city of the Esports World Cup, Paris will hold a permanent place in EWC history.

The Esports World Cup will return to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2027.

Amart Furniture to Overhaul Forecasting and Replenishment with RELEX

Australia’s leading furniture retailer replaces legacy planning tools with AI-driven forecasting and replenishment to improve availability, cut costs, and manage complex supply chain challenges

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Amart Furniture has selected RELEX Solutions to replace its legacy planning system with AI-driven forecasting and replenishment across its 66 stores and four distribution centers (DCs). The RELEX AI-native planning platform will help Amart improve forecast accuracy, increase product availability, reduce inventory costs, and automate planning processes.

Amart offers more than 2,000 products, from sofas and dining sets to home décor and signature collections. Managing seasonal demand, long import lead times, and complex delivery schedules placed increasing pressure on its planning processes. Its legacy planning process relied heavily on manual work and spreadsheets, making it difficult to respond quickly to changing demand and support the company’s continued growth.

With RELEX, Amart will be able to forecast demand at the DC and Store level, factoring in delivered-sales timing and pre-sold quantities to protect service levels and smooth inbound inventory flow. Where container optimization has historically been a manual and costly process, RELEX will optimize purchase orders against fill, weight, and volume constraints to build cost-efficient import loads. It will also continuously learn from the gap between expected and actual supplier lead times, automatically adjusting safety stock and order timing so Amart’s planning teams spend less time managing supply uncertainty and more time on decisions that move the business forward.

“We wanted a planning platform that could keep pace with our business and give our teams greater confidence in the decisions they make every day,” said Gary Draper, Planning Manager at Amart Furniture. “RELEX stood out for its ability to manage the complexity of our supply chain while giving us the flexibility to adapt as our business evolves. We’re looking forward to building a stronger planning foundation that supports both our operations and our customers.”

“Amart selected RELEX for its ability to address the supply chain challenges unique to furniture retail,” said Rod Talbot, VP APAC at RELEX Solutions. “Container optimization, variable lead times, and seasonal demand require a level of planning precision that legacy systems cannot deliver at scale. We’re looking forward to working with Amart to bring that precision to their planning and help their teams make faster, more confident decisions every day.”

About Amart Furniture

For over 50 years, Amart has been helping Australians transform their houses into homes by creating beautiful living spaces that are stylish, functional, affordable and comfortable. We believe style should be enjoyed every day, not tiptoed around.

With over 2000+ high quality products to choose from, including comfortable sofas and stylish dining sets right through to home decor and exclusively curated signature collections, Amart can help you find something to suit every corner, finish every room and complete every home.

In our 65 stores across Australia, you’ll always find a friendly team of experts who are ready to help out and inspire you, with amazing deals and offers, all year round.
