Tokenized real-world assets (RWA) are changing how we think about ownership, investment, and financial liquidity. The year 2023 marked an absolute milestone, with TVL soaring from $750 million in January to a peak of $6.2 billion around November. This recent Bank of America report forecasts RWA tokenization to reach a value of $16 trillion over the next 5-15 years.

Real estate, commodities, loans, and more are now represented as cryptographic tokens thanks to innovative platforms disrupting the status quo. By unlocking trillions currently locked up in illiquid assets, a huge amount of new value is opening up for investors and economies worldwide. As more asset classes become tokenized, an entire new asset class is emerging where crypto and traditional holdings intersect.
