IOST Launches the I Foundation to Drive RWA Investment Growth; $IOST Token Surges 24% on $110M Volume

Singapore, July 21, 2025 — IOST, the leading protocol for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), has announced the launch of the I Foundation, marking a major milestone in its mission to bridge blockchain technology with tangible asset value. Following the news, the $IOST token surged over 24% intraday, with trading volume exceeding $110 million, according to CoinMarketCap.

The newly launched I Foundation will focus on investing in high-impact RWA projects across Layer 1 and the BNB Chain ecosystems. By targeting startups and protocols that bring real-world assets on-chain — from real estate to supply chains — the Foundation aims to accelerate adoption of blockchain utility in the real economy. 

Crucially, a portion of all returns generated by the I Foundation’s portfolio will be allocated to IOST holders and stakers, establishing a transparent and value-accretive feedback loop. This approach aligns community incentives with the long-term success of IOST’s expanding ecosystem.

As a signal of commitment to transparency and long-term vision, IOST has acquired the i.foundation domain, where full details about the Foundation’s roadmap, governance, and investment strategy will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Blake Joeng, CEO of IOST, commented:

“IOST is launching the I Foundation — a new chapter for our ecosystem begins. Our focus is clear: to invest in the most promising RWA projects across the L1 and BNB Chain ecosystems. What makes this truly powerful is our commitment to return value to the people who believe in us — the IOST holders. This is about building an engine for long-term, real-world impact.”


The announcement comes amid surging global interest in tokenized RWAs — a sector projected to reach trillions in market value by the end of the decade. With a fast, secure infrastructure and now a dedicated investment arm, IOST is strategically positioned to lead the next wave of RWA innovation.
