Tokenization?
Real-World Asset ("RWA") tokenization
may be rapidly transforming modern finance. In simple terms,
tokenization is the process of converting an asset with monetary
value into a digital token, enabling its representation and
transaction on blockchains. RWA tokens are tokens that represent
the value of tangible or intangible assets brought on-chain,
allowing them to be utilized or traded via blockchain ecosystem,
including decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols.
Generally, any asset with a well-defined value can be tokenized.

commodities like gold and metals, intellectual property,
receivables and art, to name a few.
