Why has RWA become a hotspot in 2024, and which sectors hold high growth potential? This article analyzes the characteristics of various underlying assets and provides a panoramic view of the RWA industry.

Key Takeaways

The Rise of RWA: Since 2024, Real World Assets (RWA) have become a hot topic in the cryptocurrency market, attracting widespread attention from governments and enterprises. RWA combines blockchain technology with real-world assets, creating new opportunities for asset tokenization.

Innovative Tokenization Models: RWA’s tokenization model makes asset transactions more transparent and traceable, providing new financing channels for the real economy. Like securitization, RWA reduces investment barriers by fractionalizing assets, offering innovative solutions to challenges in traditional finance.

Expanding Market Potential: Compared to Asset-Backed Securities (ABS), RWA includes not only cash-flow assets (e.g., real estate, credit) but also non-cash-flow assets (e.g., currencies, commodities). This broader scope gives RWA market potential far exceeding traditional securitization tools, theoretically covering a wider range of asset classes.

Policy Momentum and Challenges: Although the policy environment for RWA is still developing, authorities like the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) are actively advancing RWA tokenization. However, sectors such as real estate leasing and car rentals still face regulatory restrictions, requiring further exploration by policy innovators.

Market Size and Forecast: As of October 2024, the RWA market is valued at $180 billion. McKinsey predicts that by 2030, the market for tokenized real-world assets will reach $2 trillion. This forecast assumes that tokenized payments will gain widespread adoption, driving further asset tokenization and enabling rapid market growth.

The Future of RWA in the Crypto Market: The rapid rise of RWA in 2024 may only be the beginning. RWA represents a new direction for the cryptocurrency market and a bridge between the virtual and real worlds. As more innovative projects emerge, the potential of RWA will continue to be unlocked, making it an indispensable force in the crypto market.

As the U.S. election concludes, 2024 is also closing. Reflecting on this year's crypto bull market, Meme has been an unavoidable topic. From BOME at the start of the year, MAGA in the middle, to GOAT at the end, Memecoin has generated new hot topics every quarter, sustaining the industry's momentum. Belgian scholar Francis Paul Heylighen proposed in 1998 that meme culture consists of four stages, including "assimilation," "retention," "expression," and "transmission." On a deeper level, meme culture's popularity can be attributed to its alignment with the uses and gratifications theory proposed by British communication scholar McQuail.
