UNLOCKING $800 trillion

Over $800T in traditional markets stands ready for disruption by blockchain technology. The convergence of DeFi and TradFi, particularly in credit markets like equity and debt financing, is resulting in unique collateral opportunities and unprecedented liquidity. By bridging these two worlds, RWAs are reshaping how value flows in the global economy.

DEMOCRATIZING ACCESS TO CAPITAL

With RWA tokenization, businesses can access capital with lower barriers and innovative financing options that were previously unfeasible – an especially powerful change for emerging markets, where traditional financing has been prohibitively expensive. Companies gain flexible funding while investors can discover new yield opportunities in diverse off-chain markets.

What are real world assets (RWAs)?

Real world assets (RWAs) are traditional financial assets represented as tokens on the blockchain, ranging from tangible assets like real estate to intangible assets such as government bonds and carbon credits. Backed by traditional assets, real-world assets serve as sustainable and reliable digital asset classes that bridge DeFi and traditional finance.

What is asset tokenization?

Real-world asset tokenization is the process of representing real world assets as digital tokens on the blockchain. RWA tokens on Polymesh can represent asset-backed tokens or function as inherently digital assets, depending on the asset type. Assets can be held by off-chain custodians or in self-custody, depending on the legal structure established by the issuer.

Why tokenize RWAs?

Tokenization brings the benefits of DeFi to traditional finance, improving efficiency and transparency while reducing costs and counterparty risk. Polymesh supports token-level granularity and rules-based transfers, which can enable fractional ownership models and automate compliance with relevant frameworks.

Tokenization of RWAs on Polymesh creates new opportunities for both issuers seeking capital and investors looking for diversification, while maintaining regulatory compliance and security.
