RWA and Tokenization

6 stories
RWA and Tokenization groups the infrastructure, issuers, funds, securities, credit products, commodities, and blockchain networks used to represent claims on real-world assets digitally. The category covers legal ownership structures, custody of off-chain collateral, investor eligibility, programmable transfer controls, net asset value, distributions, subscriptions, redemptions, and settlement between traditional finance and public or permissioned ledgers. Editorial coverage should distinguish a tokenized instrument from its issuer, manager, underlying asset, and host network. General DeFi belongs elsewhere unless real-world collateral or regulated securities are central to the mechanism.
