Real-world assets (RWAs) refer to tangible and intangible assets that exist outside of the blockchain and digital space, such as real estate, commodities, or financial instruments, that are tokenized or represented on a blockchain.
The tokenization of RWAs on blockchain platforms enables these assets to be bought, sold, or traded in fractional shares, making previously illiquid assets more accessible and tradable. This concept is central to expanding the use cases of DeFi (Decentralized Finance).
