Tokenised real-world assets (RWAs) are blockchain tokens that represent ownership or economic rights in tangible or traditional financial assets such as property, bonds, equities, or commodities. By mapping off-chain value onto programmable tokens, they enable fractional ownership, continuous settlement, and integration with decentralised finance while still depending on legal frameworks and custodians for enforceability.
