RWA Tokenization

The process of creating a digital twin of a Real-World Asset (like real estate, gold, or debt) on a blockchain, allowing it to be traded globally 24/7.

RWA (Real-World Asset) Tokenization is not just about putting stocks on a blockchain; it is about making illiquid assets liquid. TUC focuses on "Productive RWAs"—assets that generate yield. For example, The Graine Ledger does not just sell a token; it sells a tokenized cask of whiskey that acts as a legal claim to the physical inventory. As the whiskey ages and becomes more valuable, the token price reflects that appreciation. This allows for new financial instruments, such as "Inventory Financing," where a small business can instantly borrow against their on-chain stock without needing a bank loan officer.
