PUNKVISM Named One of Forbes Mexico’s “Top 15 Projects Transforming Real World Assets (RWA) in 2025”
The global Web3 project Punkvism has been officially selected by Forbes México as one of the “15 Projects Transforming Real World Assets (RWA) in 2025,” drawing significant attention from the international blockchain industry.
The achievement follows an earlier milestone where Hyun-Ki Hwang, CEO of PUNKVISM, was listed in Forbes’ “40 Under 40 Tech Leaders”, acknowledging him as one of the top emerging global technology leaders shaping the future of Web3.
In its special feature, Forbes México highlighted the emergence of a new generation of companies redefining the accessibility and transparency of real-world assets by combining blockchain, sustainability, and decentralized finance (DeFi). Punkvism was introduced as Asia’s leading Web3 project at the center of this movement.
Forbes México described PUNKVISM as “a Web3 ecosystem that fuses the spirit of Punk Activism with cutting-edge blockchain technology.”
Through its PVT governance token and proprietary Layer-2 blockchain, PUNK Chain, PUNKVISM enables the digital transformation of Real World Assets (RWA) on-chain, building a community-driven governance model that redefines ownership and participation in the decentralized era.
Forbes further emphasized Punkvism’s structural innovation in connecting RWA ecosystems across diverse industries, including entertainment, art, gaming, healthcare, and real estate. The publication noted, “PUNKVISM’s mission goes far beyond issuing tokens — it seeks to create a new economic order where communities collectively own real-world assets and generate shared value.”
Forbes México projected that the Real World Assets (RWA) market will grow to approximately $16 trillion by 2030, identifying 2025 as the key inflection point in this transformation. At the heart of this evolution, Forbes noted, lies the concept of “democratization of wealth through tokenization” — a shift that enables broader access and shared ownership of real-world value.
Global analysts also echoed this sentiment, noting that the rise of RWA tokenization marks not just a technological evolution but a redefinition of the social contract of ownership. Assets such as real estate, intellectual property, art, and even personal data are now being reimagined as blockchain-secured, community-driven forms of value.
This recognition signifies not only a project milestone but also the global expansion of Punkvism’s philosophy and leadership. Previously, Hyun-Ki Hwang, CEO of PUNKVISM, was named among Forbes’ “40 Under 40 Tech Leaders”, officially acknowledged as one of the next-generation innovators shaping the Web3 landscape. At that time, Forbes described Hwang as “a leader who bridges art, technology, and community — restoring the human value at the heart of Web3.”
In the RWA special feature, Forbes México further referred to PUNKVISM as “a global model of innovation that is creating a new order.”
Hwang commented:
“RWA is not just about digitizing real-world assets, but about reconstructing economic value through human creativity and community solidarity. Punkvism pursues people-centered, not technology-centered, Web3 innovation”.
The Forbes Mexico special also featured global blockchain companies such as EstateX, Brickken, Reental, Orochi Network, and Binkio. Among them, Punkvism was the only Asian RWA project selected, solidifying its status in the global Web3 market.
Crypto experts have described Punkvism as “not just an NFT project, but a true ecosystem builder integrating real-world assets on the blockchain,” predicting rapid expansion into Europe and the US in the RWA market.
Looking ahead, PUNKVISM plans to accelerate its global roadmap with the upcoming launch of its own mainnet, “PUNK Chain,” alongside strategic international partnerships, DAO-driven community expansion, and the development of a Web3 economic ecosystem centered on real-world assets.
Staying true to its core philosophy of “challenging conventions and creating new orders,” PUNKVISM continues to embody the spirit of innovation where art, technology, and community coexist — shaping the transformative values of the Web3 era.
