LONDON, June 2026 — intangible Real World Assets (iRWA) has increased traction to 22 projects representing over $600 billion of assets under management. From a pilot in Sept 2025, the rate of onboarding has now increased from 2 per month to 6 in May 2026. Largest growth has been in Africa, a continent rich in assets, culture and provenance, but poor in value. iRWA aims to bring more equity to the value .v. values global balance through disintermediation.
intangible Real World Assets is a framework to value assets not solely by their financial value, but also by their non-financial value, recognising the value of going good – kindness, happiness, goodwill, hope. This has been a journey starting in 2011 researching through universities ways to measure non-financial value which was recognised as a global standard in 2014 by The Vatican and across a dozen governments.
In 2016 the team moved from measurement to transacting using blockchain to move digital value resulting in the first FCA compliant ICO in 2017 (UK) with the Seratio® SER social impact token. Focus 2018 to 2023 was on selective implementation across 4 states, providing the evidence to implement the first retail pilot in 2025 in Kenya. This has now expanded to Switzerland, Canada, Columbia, Spain, Germany, etc and those not subject to NDA are available at:

With the rapid update in Africa, a historically rich continent in commodities and assets, but notoriously poor in getting it’s fair share of the value creation which seems to gravitate to Western and Far East entities in unequal proportions, iRWA has established a separate operational team for Africa already gaining momentum.
Whilst bodies like AfCFTA have made substantial progress in facilitating cross-border efficiency, the mammoth task remains of shifting the value proposition back to where it originated. Technology now exists to radically shift this paradigm, connecting global consumers with the source of their happiness originated in Africa but consumed in the rest of the world. This connection platform is called intangible Real World Assets and it is a scalable and sustainable solution.
