On October 10, Ethena Labs announced that it had determined the reserve fund RWA allocation, and four real assets including BlackRock BUIDL and Sky were selected for the reserve fund RWA allocation. With more and more institutions entering the RWA tokenization track, and the increasing adoption of RWA tokenization in financial centers such as the United States, Europe and Asia, the RWA track has become a hot spot in the market.

Matrixdock, which recently issued the gold token XAUm, is an important participant in the RWA track and has attracted much attention from the market by promoting the tokenization of commodities. This article will analyze in detail Matrixdock's layout in the RWA track and how Matrixdock promotes further integration of traditional finance.

RWA track market prospect analysis

Currently, the total market value of the RWA track is approximately US$185 billion, of which stablecoins dominate the market with a market share of more than US$170 billion, and the value of tokenized securities and treasury bonds on the chain is only US$2.2 billion (data from Tren Finance).

According to a research report released by Tren Finance, some of the largest financial institutions and business consulting firms predict that the RWA tokenization industry could grow more than 50 times by 2030. Most companies predict that the market size of the RWA field could reach 4 trillion to 30 trillion US dollars. If the RWA track achieves the median forecast of about 10 trillion US dollars, its value will increase by more than 54 times compared to the current level.

As the public adoption of the crypto market increases, the RWA track segment expands, and products are gradually innovated, the RWA tokenization industry will also cover more global financial markets. Based on the convenience and transparency of encryption technology, the popularity of the RWA token field may change and accelerate the establishment of the decentralized financial market, and gradually innovate the way people invest, trade and hold assets.

Matrixdock's bold attempt in the RWA track

As governments and regulators work to address legal and compliance issues for crypto assets, traditional financial institutions are also constantly exploring on-chain. Matrixdock continues to use blockchain technology to bring high-quality assets on-chain, enhance connections with RWA, and is committed to bridging the existing gap between DeFi and TradFi, striving to become "the preferred platform for users to invest in on-chain RWA."

Founded at the end of 2022, Matrixdock boldly launched Asia’s first U.S. debt token “STBT” in February 2023, and took advantage of the U.S. interest rate hike to become a star project in the RWA track (“Asia’s highest historical locked-in value project”).

With the arrival of the Fed's interest rate cut cycle, local geopolitical uncertainties have intensified. As a typical safe-haven asset, the market demand for gold has increased significantly. Holding gold may become a popular way of financial management in the current context. Matrixdock officially launched the first product of the precious metal token series, the gold token XAUm, in September 24. Tokenizing commodities provides investors with a variety of new investment options.

Overall, Matrixdock has accurately grasped the market trends, understood the needs of investors, and integrated financial innovation on top of complete infrastructure. It has been able to carefully screen high-quality assets that meet market demand in the RWA tokenization track and maintain a balance between short-term market selection and long-term value selection.

Focusing on product transparency and market liquidity, injecting new energy into the RWA track

The gold token XAUm launched by Matrixdock combines transparency and security, and makes innovative attempts in market liquidity, striving to expand the boundaries of RWA tokenized products.

In terms of transparency, Matrixdock has made many attempts on XAUm, including transparent product design. XAUm strictly follows the principle of "1 XAUm = 1 troy ounce (toz) of gold", and users can easily verify the logic of the product and the corresponding amount of physical gold. The underlying asset proof is public, and users can see the asset support behind XAUm in real time. By managing the casting asset pool, it ensures that "new XAUm will only be cast when the underlying assets grow."

At the same time, Matrixdock will regularly audit assets through authoritative auditing agencies and issue audit reports and relevant certificates. It will seek common ground while reserving differences between crypto finance and traditional finance, and ensure the asset security of traditional funds to the greatest extent.

In terms of market liquidity, XAUm already supports native deployment and unified management on the Ethereum mainnet and BNB Chain, and investors can use it in different blockchain networks. Multiple active ecological networks, including the Bitcoin ecosystem, are also considered for future development.

Conclusion

The development of the RWA track not only introduces more liquidity to the traditional financial market, but is also a pioneer in the popularization of crypto assets, working with BTC ETF to promote the popularization of crypto assets. As a pioneer in the Asian RWA track, Matrixdock launched the gold token XAUm to provide high-standard high-quality assets for the crypto market, and also contributed to the development of the global RWA ecosystem.
