Sergey Nazarov walked into the White House crypto meeting on August 19 with a pitch that every RWA (Real World Asset) team should steal: putting US-issued assets onchain extends their reach, rather than competing with them.
This framing matters because it's the version policymakers actually respond to. Instead of positioning crypto as a threat to traditional finance, it positions tokenization as infrastructure that amplifies existing US financial dominance.
