Let's dive into the world of real-world assets (RWAs) in crypto! This is an area that's exploding right now, even hotter than the initial Bitcoin boom.

 

Imagine owning a piece of a fancy vineyard in Napa Valley, a rare Picasso, or even a share of a commercial building – all from the comfort of your couch. That's the power of RWAs. By tokenizing these assets on a blockchain, they get chopped up into digital pieces, making them accessible to a whole new pool of investors.

 

So, why is this a game-changer? For starters, RWAs have incredible potential for investors.  Traditionally, these assets were out of reach for many due to high costs and limited liquidity. Now, with tokenization, anyone can invest in fractions of these assets, opening doors to a diversified portfolio with potentially higher returns. Plus, the transparency and efficiency of blockchain streamline the whole process.

 

If you're looking for fresh opportunities in the crypto space, RWAs are worth exploring, but don't worry because, in this video, we'll be exploring the hottest RWA projects out there! We'll break down how they work, what assets they represent, and what kind of returns they might offer. We'll also be discussing the potential risks and how to get started with investing in RWAs safely.

Today's topic is a very interesting one, RWAs. In the field of cryptocurrency, "real world assets" (RWA) refer to the tokenization of physical goods that are brought onto a chain. A growing number of capital market products are being issued on-chain, where tokenized digital assets are made available to ordinary buyers. Real estate, artwork, c ommodities, and even stocks that users can buy through platforms with permission are a few examples of these.

 

Stablecoins represent one of the original types of RWAs. A stable medium of trade in a volatile environment was made possible by the emergence of stablecoins, which are tokenized versions of fiat currencies. Since 2014, companies like Tether and Circle have released tokenized stable assets that are secured by tangible assets like gold coins, bank deposits, and short-term notes.

 

Now let us take a look at the projects that are booming in this aspect. The first one is Clearpool. Because of its distinctive approach to uncollateralized lending pools, Clearpool is well-known for allowing institutional and individual liquidity providers to supply funds directly to borrowers. Though Maple chooses structured corporate debt, it nevertheless prioritizes dynamic interest rates based on borrower demand and pool liquidity, which enables undercollateralized loans to be obtained by institutional borrowers and crypto-native firms.

 

A decentralized financial ecosystem called Clearpool includes the first-ever permissionless institutional liquidity market. Clearpool's permissionless single-borrower pools, driven by supply and demand in the market, give institutions access to short-term financing while giving DeFi lenders risk-adjusted returns based on interest r ates determined by market consensus. The compliance requirements for institutional market participants to borrow and lend digital assets wholesale are satisfied by a second, fully permissioned institutional-grade platform.

 

The next project is Ondo Finance. My attention has been drawn to Ondo Finance by their implementation of an institutional grade RWA structure. Investors seeking a platform more akin to the conventional finance industry may find theirs appealing.

 

For yield produced by actual assets like treasury bonds and other institutional-grade assets, Ondo Finance (OF) offers access to RWA-backed pools. Additionally, OF is a DeFi platform that provides structured investment products in the cryptocurrency market that combine variable-yield and fixed-income techniques. By giving consumers a variety of investing possibilities, it seeks to bridge the gap between traditio nal and decentralized finance.

 

To accommodate varying risk appetites, Ondo gives investors the option to select between variable, higher-risk returns and steady, lower-risk returns. With this strategy, DeFi is more widely available to investors, especially those looking for structured and diversified investment strategies in crypto.

 

Ondo Finance token price has also been lifted by over 40.22%, on the hype of the tokenized assets enthusiasm, to reach $0.8162, its new all-time high. The platform’s focus on bridging traditional finance with DeFi through the tokenization of securities has positioned it well in the current market environment.

 

The third project in this sector is Polymesh  (POLYX). The value of POLYX, the token of Polymesh, a specialized blockchain intended for regulated securities, has increased by almost 80%. This increase is directly related to the increased recognition and credibility that tokenized assets have gained after BlackRock's declaration.

 

Polymesh has emerged as a major blockchain platform that focuses directly on comprehensive security token issuance and management. The platform has opened up new and previously unavailable opportunities for crypto operators, startups, and investors in areas such as real-world asset (RWA) tokenization and new financial instruments that reside exclusively on a blockchain.

 

Polymesh, a platform that enables the exchange of tokenized assets, is at the forefront of this developing industry and gains from the increasing demand for block chain-based financial services.

 

As at the time of publication, POLYX was trading at $0.407, 44% higher than its intraday low of $0.2847. Additionally, its market capitalization reached $338,987,962 and $1,347,861,401, respectively, a 34% and 268.07% increase in 24-hour trading volume. Polymesh (POLYX) — the tokenized, asset-trading, blockchain platform — saw a whopping 80% boost in price on Thursday as at the time of recording, following BlackRock's foray into the real-world asset (RWA) sector. This has caused crypto tokens in the RWA sector to rise as they look to be the next bullish narrative.

 

Try to guess the last project guys, the last project we would be looking at is centrifuge. In order to enable borrowers to finance without banks or other needless middlemen and produce on-chain loans on Centrifuge using asset mortgages, Centrifuge is a decentralized RWA asset financing protocol.  pool that gives borrowers quick access to liquidity in the cryptocurrency space

 

This integration not only advances DeFi but it also brings many benefits to the MakerDAO ecosystem. By diversifying the collateral backing DAI and adding non-crypto related assets, it increases the DAI safety and makes it extremely stable. This move will also help MakerDAO meet  the increasing demand of DAI by tapping in a multi trillion-dollar asset class.

 

Centrifuge's Asad Khan conducted interviews with Nic Carter of Castle Island Ventures, Stephen Leahy of Circle, and Mark Phillips of Steakhouse Financial to showcase the different vantage points and unique insights into the  current state, future, and endgame for stablecoins.

 

Following great news and announcements guys, protocol fees are going live on Centrifuge in order to ensure self-sustainability of the protocol. With projected TVL of $1B in 2024, $4M would be added to the Centrifuge treasury from protocol and Centrifuge Prime fees. Fees are used to fund future development and innovation of the protocol, governed by Centrifuge token holders.

 

Also, The TBW Awards, run by leading Web3 and crypto publication The Big Whale, has named Centrifuge the winner as the "Best Finance and Investment Project" for 2024. The event, which took place last week in Paris, recognized innovators in seven categories across technology, entertainment , and finance with winners selected by a distinguished jury of experts.

 

The cryptocurrency market is still quite new and unstable. RWA values will be impacted by the general sentiment of the cryptocurrency market, in addition to being linked to real-world assets. Be ready for fluctuations in price.

 

Since RWAs are a relatively new field, regulations are still developing. Investors may become uncertain as a result. You are putting your trust in the platform to store and manage the underlying asset securely when you invest in a RWA. Investigate the platform's security protocols and reputation. The underlying asset itself may lose value, just like any other investment. Examine the history and quality of the tangible asset that the RWA stands for.

 

So guys, we have come to the end of this video, the world of real-world assets (RWAs) on the blockchain is booming. RWA tokenization allows people to invest in fractions of traditionally illiquid assets like real estate, art, or even buildings. This opens doors for a wider range of investors and offers potentially higher returns.
