RWA (Real-World Assets) are physical assets or material values (real estate, goods, infrastructure, raw materials, etc.) that can be tokenized, i.e. converted into digital form using blockchain technologies. Tokenization makes these assets more liquid, accessible to investors, and integrated into the digital economy.
Why BlackRock is interested in RWA:
1. Diversification: Tokenization of assets allows attracting new investors and diversifying investment portfolios.
2. Liquidity: Digital versions of assets are easier to sell, buy, and transfer, which reduces transaction costs.
3. Technological leadership: Companies like BlackRock strive to stay at the forefront of financial technology, adapting to new trends such as blockchain and DeFi.
4. Access to a new audience: Through tokenization, it is possible to attract retail investors and individuals who previously had no access to traditional markets for large assets.
How to invest in RWA in the future:
1. Through tokenized platforms: Platforms like Avalanche, Ethereum, or specialized DeFi protocols will allow purchasing tokens linked to real assets.
2. Funds and ETFs: Companies like BlackRock may offer index funds or ETFs related to RWA.
3. Direct investments: Investors will be able to acquire shares in real estate or infrastructure projects through tokenization.
4. P2P platforms: Specialized platforms can connect investors and owners of real assets directly.
Sector development scenarios:
1. Optimistic scenario: Large-scale tokenization of assets, high integration of blockchain with traditional finance. This will lead to increased market liquidity and reduced transaction costs.
2. Moderate scenario: Technology develops gradually, remaining niche. Interest is shown only by major players, such as BlackRock, which limits access for retail investors.
3. Negative scenario: Regulatory and technological barriers slow down the sector's development. Risks (e.g., data security or manipulation) may deter investors.
The RWA sector has the potential to become a key element of the global economy, especially if the technological and legal frameworks continue to develop.
