“Tokenizing is the process of creating a digital copy of any asset on the blockchain”
Tokenization is a Tale of Two Trends
Digitalization – The transformation of physical assets into digital formats or the movement of digital assets onto new infrastructure to unlock even more benefits
Financialization – The process of turning any asset into a financial instrument by reengineering cash flows, investment opportunities and capital formation.
“We are excited to work with founders to open up new opportunities in liquidity, efficiency and decentralization through the tokenization of RWAs – taking us to the next stage of mainstream blockchain adoption.”
Katie Lundie
Program Manager, RWA Base Camp
Why Now?
Opportunities across sectors. – While predominantly driven by Finance, RWA tokenization will find applications across different industries such as infrastructure, manufacturing, gaming, healthcare
Now is the time. – We see more mindshare, better infrastructure and improvement in regulatory clarity as key drivers that will propel RWA tokenization forward this cycle

Read our thesis! Tokenisation: Beyond the Hype
The integration of Real World Assets (RWAs) into Web3 infrastructure, propelled by the tokenization of tangible assets, is poised to fundamentally alter how we interact with and perceive everyday assets.
This evolution is gaining traction, particularly in the financial sector, and is anticipated to permeate every industry as blockchain technology spreads more widely over the coming decade . We foresee this movement as a pivotal step towards the mainstream adoption of Web3, reshaping the landscape of digital and physical asset management.
