Pritam Dutta: Leading the RWA Revolution in DeFi
On today’s livestream, I’m joined by a trailblazer in the fintech and Web3 space—Pritam Dutta, founder and CEO of Zoth.
A renowned digital finance innovator and Web3 entrepreneur, Pritam brings over 15 years of expertise spanning fintech, e-commerce, and blockchain technology.
As the driving force behind Zoth, Pritam is revolutionising real-world asset (RWA) integration with decentralised finance (DeFi), making financial systems fairer, more transparent, and more accessible.
A Visionary Leader in Digital Finance
Pritam’s industry influence is undeniable.
- General Partner at Eagle10 Ventures, an angel syndicate with 50+ investments and two unicorn exits
- Named one of India’s top innovation leaders, an Economic Times Young Leader, and among Asia’s Top 100 digital leaders
Under his leadership, Zoth is transforming the DeFi landscape.
Zoth: The Next Frontier of RWAFi
Zoth is at the forefront of the DeFi revolution, offering a retail-focused Real-World Asset (RWA) ecosystem that brings:
- Institutional-grade, fixed-yield RWAs on-chain
- An RWA-backed stablecoin
- Seamless DeFi integration
With over 2 million verified wallets, 200k daily active users (DAU), 3.7 million impressions, and 25 million transactions, Zoth is building a community-powered RWAFi ecosystem to fix the broken state of RWAs.
Partnerships & Real-World Impact
Zoth has forged strategic partnerships with industry leaders like Chainlink, Fidelity, and Standard Chartered, helping to:
- Originate over $129 million in credit
- Deploy $16 million in liquidity
- Serve institutional clients such as XDC, Funfair, and Celo
“Zoth breaks down these barriers by providing a decentralised ecosystem that connects liquidity across Traditional Finance and Decentralised Finance, enabling a free flow of assets and capital.”
The Challenges Holding RWAs Back
For too long, real-world assets were confined to institutional investors, restricting retail participation and democratization.
Pritam highlights key issues with RWAs today:
- Centralised reserves
- Unreliable asset backing
- Fragmented liquidity
- Lack of interoperability
Zoth’s Breakthrough Solutions
Zoth addresses these challenges head-on with innovative products designed to bridge traditional and decentralised finance.

At the heart of Zoth’s ecosystem is the Zoth Token (ZOTH)—an ERC-20 token that streamlines operations between OnchainFi and TradFi, reducing reliance on centralised intermediaries.
The Mission: Bridging Traditional & Decentralised Finance
Pritam’s mission is clear—fix the broken RWA market, historically exclusive, opaque, and fragmented.
By providing permissionless access to RWAs, Zoth removes barriers, enabling a free flow of assets between TradFi and DeFi.
Unlocking the $2 Trillion Fixed-Income Market

He sees the $2 trillion fixed-income market as a transformative opportunity, with Zoth providing:
- Scalable, legally enforceable, and user-friendly solutions
- Institutional-grade assets brought to blockchain
- Retail-first financial access
“We believe that investing in decentralised technology could contribute to making the financial system fairer and more transparent.”
The Future of RWAFi: A 2025 Boom
Pritam is highly optimistic about 2025, predicting a major shift in how RWAs and DeFi reshape the financial landscape.
“Personally, as someone building in this space, I believe that 2025 will be an RWA summer, similar to the DeFi summer of the past, with a wave of innovation.”
