# Real-world asset tokenization

> Tokenize real-world assets — real estate, treasuries, commodities — onchain.

**Sector**: [Web3](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/web3)  
**Build cost**: Team-sized build  
**Deal velocity**: Steady — one deal per month

## Why now

RWA tokenization is the institutional crypto wedge. Treasuries + RE + private credit are scaling.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with smart-contract templates, KYC + accreditation libraries, and traditional-finance integrations.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Securitize shape
- Ondo Finance
- Open-source RWA-tokenization libraries

## What this displaces

A private REIT + paper signatures.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Heavy regulatory. Fund only with crypto + securities-law team. The moat is the regulatory + the asset-issuer relationships.

## Frequently asked

### Buyer?

Asset managers + issuers + institutional investors.

### Pricing?

% of AUM or platform fee.

### Compliance?

SEC + ESMA + state securities laws.
