    What is Real World Assets (RWA)?

    रियल वर्ल्ड एसेट्स
    RWA tokenization puts real-world assets like government bonds, real estate, and commodities on the blockchain, making them tradeable 24/7 with fractional ownership.

    Full Explanation

    Real World Assets (RWAs) are traditional financial assets tokenized on blockchains. Examples: tokenized US Treasury bonds (yielding ~5% APY on-chain), real estate fractional ownership, gold-backed tokens (XAUT), and private credit. RWA is the fastest-growing DeFi sector because it brings real yield (backed by real assets) instead of unsustainable token emissions. BlackRock's BUIDL fund and Ondo Finance are leading RWA adoption. RWAs bridge traditional finance and crypto.
