RWA compliance framework: the three main routes in the United States, the European Union, and China
1. Why compliance is the first lifeline in RWA: The content in this area is actually relatively sensitive. Some fans commented in the back channel that they want to know about this part. I’ve generally been quite cautious, but I’ll still say a little. In fact, a lot of the details are not for discussion—don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it. Native encrypted assets can be “run first, review later.” Once the code is deployed, you can talk. But RWA is tied to real-world assets and the value of fiat currency. Its compliance is not optional; it’s a threshold that must be faced from day one. Once you cross a red line, the consequences are not just “there’s a bug in the code.” It’s that the custody account gets frozen, the product is delisted, and the team bears real legal responsibility. So the first step in doing RWA isn’t writing contracts—it’s figuring out “which market, who you sell to, and how it is regulated.”
