OpenWorld says it plans to acquire Blocksight to support its institutional RWA platform

Nasdaq-listed OpenWorld, Inc. (OPNW) said on Oct. 1 in Las Vegas that it plans to acquire Blocksight Holdings Co., a company building an AI agent platform for bringing real-world assets on-chain and providing ongoing investor reporting. The proposed deal is not final. OpenWorld said it still requires final board approval and execution of definitive documents, and added that there is no assurance the documents will be signed or that the transaction will close. According to the announcement, Blocksight’s agents handle trade construction, asset data verification, investor onboarding, daily reporting, and ongoing services, while key decisions remain subject to human approval. OpenWorld said the acquisition is intended to support OpenWorld Enterprise, a platform still under development that would allow institutions to access, verify, and hold tokenized real-world asset opportunities. If the transaction closes, Blocksight co-founders Patrick Kim and Peter Hong are expected to join OpenWorld to help with technology integration.
