Institutional RWA Tokenization
Resources and solutions for institutions exploring real‑world asset tokenization
Why Now?
Why major financial institutions are tokenizing RWAs
Balance‑sheet and funding pressure: With higher rates and tighter balance‑sheet constraints, every day of settlement latency and every patch of trapped collateral is expensive.
Demand for new distribution and access: Issuers and managers want to reach new pools of capital without rebuilding products from scratch.
Maturing technology and regulatory comfort: The technology and regulatory environment have both moved on.
How it Works
Key Tokenization Standards
| Standard | Network/Rail | Main Purpose | Typical Use Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| ERC-20 | EVM Compatible | Basic interchangeable token interface | Stablecoins, basic RWAs, utility tokens |
| ERC‑1400 | EVM Compatible | Security tokens with capital‑markets features | Tokenised equity, bonds, funds |
| ERC‑3643 (T‑REX) | EVM Compatible | Permissioned, identity‑aware tokens | Regulated RWAs, private credit, fund platforms |
| CIP‑56 | Canton | Bilateral, private institutional tokens | Syndicated loans, collateralised trades, DvP |
| Stellar native | Stellar base protocol | Built‑in asset issuance and controls | Payments, stablecoins, corridor RWAs |
| SEP‑41 / SAC | Stellar (Soroban) | Contract‑based token interface | Programmable RWAs and on‑ledger applications on Stellar |
| TIP‑20 | Newer payment‑focused rails | Payments‑oriented token standard | Stablecoin payments, treasury and working capital |
Key Considerations
As you evaluate your tokenization strategy for 2026 and beyond, look for these three criteria:
Network Agnostic
Does the partner support the networks you use today and the ones you might need tomorrow?
Governance-First
Is the security model built around institutional policies (MPC, multi-sig, role-based access) or just basic cryptography?
Proven at Scale
Can the infrastructure handle the volume and uptime requirements of a global financial institution?
