Real-Worlds Asset = RWA

Curious about Real-World Assets (RWAs) and what they really entail? As the term gains popularity, let’s break it down in a beginner-friendly way!

To start, think of two distinct realms: the “Real” world comprising tangible assets and the digital world encompassing cryptocurrencies like $ADA, $BTC, as well as entertaining tokens such as $SNEK and $BANK. While digital assets leverage blockchain technology, RWAs exist in the physical world and have served as stores of value and investment vehicles for ages.

When we refer to RWAs, we mean these tangible assets being tokenised. But what does tokenisation mean exactly? Tokenising an asset involves dividing it into smaller, digitally represented parts, akin to fractionalisation. By doing so, ownership can be shared among multiple individuals or entities. These digital tokens exist on the blockchain, enabling seamless digital movement.

So why tokenise RWAs? Traditionally, such assets were accessible only to a privileged few. For instance, 1% of the world’s population owns a staggering 90% of the global gold supply, primarily due to limited accessibility. Investing in physical gold, for instance, requires safe storage, minimum purchase amounts, high transaction costs and complex selling processes.

Enter TVVIN and its RWA-backed tokens! TVVIN bridges the gap by taking real-world assets and issuing them on the blockchain. This unlocks accessibility and liquidity for investors. Unlike Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), which often involve hidden fees and lack direct ownership, TVVIN ensures a 1:1 backing of physical assets. Moreover, RWA tokens provide transparency on the blockchain, making trading and storage straightforward without relying on brokers or intermediaries.

With TVVIN, you can embrace the DeFi (Decentralised Finance) way, trading and earning while your assets remain securely stored in the real world.

TVVIN takes real-world assets and issues them on the blockchain, where you can trade and earn the DeFi way while your assets are safely stored in the Real World.
