Real World Assets (RWAs) are off-chain assets — bonds, real estate, invoices, commodities — represented as tokens on blockchain. The goal is fractional ownership, faster settlement, and DeFi composability for traditional finance.
Crypto built parallel finance for native assets; RWAs bridge trillions in TradFi onto chain. Tokenized treasuries already hold billions. Institutions experiment with 24/7 settlement and programmable compliance.
This course covers tokenization rationale, asset classes, custody, regulation, platforms, DeFi integration, risks, and where RWAs are heading next.
