What tokenizing a real-world asset actually means (and what it doesn't)

What tokenizing a real-world asset actually means, how verifiable backing works, and the three myths that sink RWA projects.

• Tokenizing real-world assets involves creating digital representations of physical assets, backed by verifiable proof of reserve, to enable fractional ownership and increase liquidity.
• Key myths to avoid include believing tokenization creates capital, magically ensures liquidity, or exempts projects from regulatory scrutiny, as regulators focus on the substance of the instrument.
• A credible RWA offering requires verifiable collateral, clear use of funds, realistic return projections, and a solid legal structure, with the correct development order being business → legal → technical.
