[{"type":"text","content":"CHICAGO, March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Professional Diversity Network, Inc. (Nasdaq: IPDN) (“IPDN” or the “Company”), a technology holding company focused on the application of AI technologies and AI-powered solutions, today announced a significant strategic milestone with the successful establishment of its wholly owned Japanese subsidiary, Colorful Japan Co., Ltd. (“Colorful Japan”). The new entity will serve as IPDN’s core operational and investment platform in Asia, spearheading the Company’s expansion into the Real-World Asset (“RWA”) powered entertainment sector and marking the official acceleration of its global RWA strategy across key Asian markets. Amid the accelerating convergence of traditional industries and digital finance, RWA is emerging as one of the most promising growth sectors in fintech. According to McKinsey & Company, the global RWA market is projected to reach approximately $2 trillion by 2030. Leveraging its deep experience in capital markets, digital assets, and cross-border strategic integration, IPDN continues to strengthen its forward-looking RWA positioning, identifying the convergence of entertainment, finance, and Web3.0 as a major next-generation growth engine. With the establishment of Colorful Japan, IPDN has designated Japan as the strategic hub for its Asian entertainment RWA initiatives. The Company plans to host and invest in more than 10 RWA-themed music festivals over the next two years, anchored in Japan and expanding regionally. By integrating global top-tier artists, international DJs, and cross-border entertainment resources, IPDN aims to create immersive experiences that combine large-scale entertainment with financial innovation. IPDN believes that the music industry inherently aligns with Web3.0 infrastructure. At its core, the music business is a convergence of intellectual property, traffic distribution of music consumers, and fan economy dynamics, while RWA technology enables the tokenization of copyrights, ticket revenues, and derivative income rights, transforming traditional entertainment assets into tradable, liquid financial instruments. Compared to purely digital applications, IPDN further believes that large-scale offline immersive events such as music festivals provide a more powerful environment to unlock the real commercial value of Web3.0 technologies.
