2. Asset Backed Tokens (ABT)
2.1 Structure and Definitions

Tier 1: Asset Type Changes

The asset types remain unchanged at 6 as follows:
1) Culture (205),
2) Real Estate (215),

2.2 Classification Changes
This review doesn’t have any reclassification of the existing assets.

2.3 Coverage of DAICS®
IX Asia Indexes has classified 2 ABTs in 1H 2026, which are Tether Gold (XAUT) and PAX Gold (PAXG). As of May 31, 2026, ABTs comprised 2.05% of the total market capitalization of digital assets, a rise from 0.91% in the 2025 2H review, which shows that ABT’s presence in the market has become more significant.

With accelerating growth and dominance of stable coins in the past two half yearly reviews, the IX Asia Tokenisation Advisory Committee has decided to expand the coverage to “50 coins + stablecoins within top 50” starting from the next review.

A classification summary and definition table of both cryptocurrencies and ABTs are available in Appendices 3 and 4. For further information regarding the methodology of the DAICS®, please refer to the “IX Digital Asset Industry Classification System”- principle and guiding methodology on the company website https://ix-index.com/daics.html.

Explore the Razer Blade 14.

Razer Blade 16: The Travel-Ready All-Rounder
The Blade 16 is for the user who wants flagship performance without committing to a desktop replacement form factor. Streamers running OBS alongside competitive titles, creators handling 4K video and AI-accelerated workflows and gamers chasing a true 240 Hz OLED experience on the go all fit the profile. It’s the model that gets recommended most often, and the 2026 generation strengthens the case.

  • Flagship-class performance: The RTX 5090 hits 160 W TGP and pairs with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 to push AAA games and AI workloads past what most desktops achieve at QHD.
  • The display that does it all: A 16-inch QHD+ OLED at 240 Hz with VESA TrueBlack 1000 HDR and Calman Verified colour, capable of displaying competitive-gaming levels of framerates and creator-grade colour accuracy at the same time.

The natural audience includes professional creators editing 4K footage, hardcore gamers chasing high frame rates and developers running VMs or AI training jobs. It’s the right pick if you’d rather have one machine that handles everything than maintain a desktop and a separate laptop.

  • Desktop-grade silicon: A 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus paired with an RTX 5090 at 175 W TGP runs AI training, 4K rendering and maxed-out AAA gaming without throttling.
  • Swap and expand your memory and storage: The only Blade with slotted DDR5 RAM (up to 128 GB) and two M.2 NVMe slots (up to 8 TB), so your Razer Blade can grow with your project files, AI model weights or game library.
  • A desktop display in a laptop: The 18-inch dual-mode panel runs UHD+ at 240 Hz for content creation or FHD+ at 440 Hz for competitive gaming.
  • Sustained performance under marathon workloads: Triple-fan vapor chamber cooling handles hour-long renders, AI training runs and ranked sessions without throttling, with overclocking support in Razer Synapse when you want to push further.
