HEALE Network Explores New RWA Applications In Latest Twitter Podcast Episode
In Brief
HEALE Network’s latest Twitter Space explored the future of RWAs, highlighting innovative use cases from tokenized race cars and Pokémon cards to AI marketplaces and stock trading, while emphasizing long-term value, research, and sustainable growth over short-term hype.
HEALE Network, an infrastructure platform powered by Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) and focused on real-world assets (RWAs), hosted another episode of its Twitter Spaces series on the social media platform X. Titled “What’s Hot in the RWA Space,” the event explored the potential of RWA technology, highlighting new use cases and examining how it could impact daily life over the next five years.
Moderated by Tim, Marketing Advisor at HEALE Network, the session featured several industry professionals, including Todd Haselhorst, Founder & CEO of HEALE Labs with over 17 years of experience in building logistics tech startups; Samuel McCulloch, Growth Lead at USD AI, a stablecoin backed by AI infrastructure investments; 2Lambroz, a well-known trader and DeFi researcher; Matt, Head of Growth at Mansory; and Javaughn Lawrence, CEO and Co-Founder of DripShop, a successful serial entrepreneur and angel investor with experience at Lightspeed and Eniac Ventures.
The conversation began with a key question, asking about some of the most exciting new use cases for RWA technology, beyond the familiar ones.
One speaker shared an interesting example: tokenizing and fractionalizing race cars. The idea is simple—each time the car competes, spectators can earn a share of the revenue generated. However, the panel agreed that fractionalization only makes sense when the underlying asset produces passive income, rather than existing solely for speculative trading.
Another case explored was the booming market for Pokémon cards. Speakers noted that the trading environment has been remarkably healthy, with strong liquidity driving success. A key factor behind this momentum is the enduring popularity of the Pokémon brand, bolstered by milestones like its upcoming anniversary in February. This dynamic isn’t limited to the cryptocurrency sector—game studios are also leveraging the intellectual property to engage audiences.
The conversation turned nostalgic when one participant joked about feeling old as Pokémon turned 30. They recalled collecting the cards in their youth, describing them as “the original NFTs” due to their scarcity, demand, and cultural importance. While some investors remain hesitant about entering the trading card market, the speakers emphasized that these collectibles should be viewed on par with other asset classes—carrying risks, but also offering real opportunities.
Another highlight from the discussion was the idea of a marketplace for selling AI agents like Virtuals. The concept of owning AI or robotic agents was described as a promising long-term opportunity, offering a sustainable revenue stream for users.
Speakers also pointed to the growing intersection of AI and tokenized data. When combined with finance and the broader economy, this convergence could open entirely new pathways for innovation.
One of the more compelling RWA use cases discussed was the tokenization of public company stocks, enabling people to buy shares with cryptocurrency. For investors outside the US, especially in regions like Asia and Africa, accessing blue-chip firms such as Tesla is often difficult, and tokenization could make these opportunities more inclusive and widely available.
Participants agreed that this shift could open financial markets to a broader audience, with cryptocurrency serving as a gateway. While promising, some panelists cautioned that protections in this space remain limited, and issuers may benefit disproportionately in smaller markets.
The consensus was that RWAs thrive in areas where traditional finance lacks accessibility, though regulation remains a key challenge. Still, the potential to create new on-chain markets that drive real growth was seen as an exciting frontier.
Another example raised was pre-market trading of companies about to list, where equity is sourced and traded on-chain before official listing.
Long-Term Value, Not Short-Term Trends, Seen As Key To Success In Crypto Investing
The panel closed with practical advice for listeners exploring new markets and technologies. Speakers emphasized the importance of doing thorough research, avoiding hype-driven speculation, and never investing more than one can afford to lose. They urged audiences to focus on genuine innovation rather than short-term trends.
One speaker noted that cryptocurrency markets move in cycles, advising investors to identify a few categories and remain committed to them across different phases. For example, while NFTs dominated four years ago, their popularity has since waned—yet this trend may re-emerge. Staying engaged and maintaining strong community ties was highlighted as key to long-term participation.
When it comes to RWAs, the advice was to clarify whether the investment is short- or long-term, manage expectations accordingly, and prioritize companies already generating sustainable revenue rather than those relying solely on hype.
The consensus: success in this space requires patience, discipline, and a clear focus on value creation.
DripShop Giveaway Awards $270 PSA 10 Mewtwo Vstar Pokémon Card To A Listener
During the discussion, Javaughn Lawrence revealed the winner of DripShop’s giveaway, where a lucky listener received a $270 ARV Pokémon card. The prize was a PSA 10 Mewtwo Vstar, a highly sought-after graded card that is currently in high demand.
This card is considered a “grail hit” from the Pokémon Graded Instant Pack, specifically the Splash Pack. At present the Pokémon market is experiencing growth, with other projects in the space, such as CARDS, raising hundreds of millions. However, DripShop stands out as a top-tier player in its category.
