Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization involves placing traditional financial assets, such as government bonds, liquidity funds, or private credit, onto a blockchain as digital tokens. This process aims to increase liquidity, transparency, and accessibility by allowing fractional ownership and 24/7 trading of assets that were previously restricted to traditional financial rails.
