Real-world assets, or RWAs, are things that exist outside crypto - government bonds, real estate, invoices, commodities - represented by tokens on a blockchain. The token is a claim on the asset, and it moves and settles at the speed of a crypto transfer.
The appeal is clear: fractions of assets that were hard to divide, markets open around the clock, settlement in minutes instead of days. The catch matters as much. A blockchain can prove who holds the token; it cannot prove the building or the bond exists. That still rests on a legal structure, a custodian and courts in the real world. With RWAs, always ask what stands behind the token when something goes wrong.
