Understanding RWA

What is RWA and why is it important?

RWA (Real World Assets) are tokens that serve as digital twins of any real-world assets. This technology is becoming a bridge between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency market, opening new horizons for investors of all levels.

What can be tokenized?

Financial assets: stocks, bonds, currencies (including CBDCs and stablecoins), credit products
Material property: land plots, real estate, cars, collectibles
Intellectual property: from music and books to program code and legal documents

Key Benefits and Getting Started

Main advantages of tokenization:

Increased liquidity: ability to trade 24/7 on decentralized exchanges
Maximum transparency of operations thanks to blockchain
Significant reduction in fees by eliminating intermediaries
Unprecedented accessibility of investments for a wide range of people

How to start investing in RWA?

The first step is acquiring cryptocurrency. For CIS residents, one of the reliable ways is exchange through verified offline exchangers. In Georgia, you can use AllTrust.Me, which operates in Tbilisi and Batumi. The exchanger offers favorable rates and secure exchange conditions for entering the crypto market. After receiving cryptocurrency, you can start investing in RWA projects through various platforms.

Real-World Example

An investor tokenizes real estate in the UAE worth $1 million, dividing it into 100,000 tokens. Anyone can buy a share from $10 and receive a proportional part of the rental income.

Technical Infrastructure and Market Players

RWA technological infrastructure:

Oracles (ChainLink, Pyth Network) - provide reliable real-world data
Cross-chain protocols (Synapsis, LayerZero) - ensure interaction between blockchains
Base blockchains (Ethereum, Bitcoin, Aptos) - provide reliable infrastructure
DeFi exchanges with verification - provide trading infrastructure
ZKP technologies - guarantee privacy while meeting regulatory requirements

Major players in the market

Tether launches its own tokenization platform
BlackRock created tokenized fund BUIDL with TVL around $380 million
Total volume of tokenized bonds exceeded $1.28 billion
Private credit market reached $608 million

Market Potential and Growth

Growth potential:

Citi forecasts sector growth to $6.1 trillion
Boston Consulting Group predicts reaching $16 trillion by 2030
Current sector capitalization: about $6 billion
According to Boston Consulting Group's report at the end of 2022, the total valuation of all financial and real assets in the world is $516 trillion

Why experts predict such growth:

The RWA sector is just beginning to integrate into the economy
Large financial conglomerates like BlackRock and Franklin Temptation are actively investing significant funds
Top crypto market players are actively participating in sector development
Growing number of new and promising projects are joining the tokenization of treasury bonds, real estate, and stablecoins
Massive liquidity is expected to flow into the crypto industry from sectors including:
Precious metals
Securities
Mineral resources
Stocks
Digital analogues of fiat currencies

While there is a significant difference in growth forecasts between major analysts (from $6.1 trillion by Citi to $16 trillion by BCG), all factors indicate that RWA has the potential to become the main trend for the coming decades, and we are at its very foundation.
