RWA + Tokenization (simple)
RWA = Real World Assets (houses, gold, bonds, stocks, etc.).
Tokenization = turning ownership of those assets into digital tokens on a blockchain.
Instead of buying a whole building, you can own a small digital share. Easier to buy/sell, lower entry, and more transparent.
Examples: tokenized gold, rental properties, or Treasury funds.
Yes I agree but don’t make the mistake of choosing one when you can be part of both.

Bonus reading: decentralization, privacy, tokenization and RWAs

You’re already carrying enough problems from Old Trafford. Don’t add these to your portfolio:
1. Thomas Wyatt
2. Austin Laz
3. Secure Electronic Technology
4. UPDC
5. Cornerstone
These ones bring their own drama. Your portfolio doesn’t need extra stress on top of Man United’s.
