Real World Assets (RWAs) are physical or tangible assets that have been tokenized on a blockchain, creating digital representations of ownership that can be traded, transferred, and managed using blockchain technology. This innovative approach bridges traditional finance with the efficiency and accessibility of decentralized systems.
Asset tokenization is the process of converting rights to an asset into a digital token on a blockchain. This process involves creating a digital representation of a real-world asset, whether it's real estate, art, commodities, or other valuable items. These digital tokens represent either partial or complete ownership of the underlying asset.
Properties including residential homes, commercial buildings, land, and development projects. Real estate is one of the most common and valuable categories of tokenized RWAs, offering both potential appreciation and income generation.
Physical goods such as precious metals (gold, silver), agricultural products, energy resources, and industrial metals. Tokenized commodities provide exposure to these assets without the need for physical storage or handling.
Fine art, rare collectibles, and cultural artifacts can be tokenized to allow fractional ownership of high-value items that would otherwise be accessible only to wealthy individuals or institutions.
Essential facilities and systems such as transportation networks, energy production facilities, and telecommunications infrastructure. These assets typically provide stable, long-term returns.
Traditional financial instruments like bonds, loans, and revenue streams that can be tokenized to increase liquidity and accessibility.
