What are Real-World Assets (RWAs)?
Real-World Assets (RWAs) refer to tangible assets that exist outside the digital realm. These can range from bonds to real estate properties, commodities, and machinery. The concept of RWAs in the blockchain context is about digital tokens that represent these physical and traditional financial assets. This includes currencies, commodities, equities, and bonds. The tokenization of RWAs is seen as one of the largest market opportunities in the blockchain industry, with a potential market size in the hundreds of trillions of dollars.
