1 min. readTokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) has become a significant trend in both traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) as more institutional entities embrace crypto solutions. Platforms like Tradable have tokenized $1.7 billion in private credit on ZKsync, indicating a rising demand for institutional-grade assets and liquidity access. Jakob Kronbichler, the co-founder of Clearpool, discussed the shift towards RWA tokenization, private credit, and DeFi yield. He emphasized the potential of tokenizing private credit to offer new yield opportunities and transparency to investors. The migration of traditional private credit to the blockchain is expected to grow in the future. Additionally, tokenized treasuries are seen as a safe and accessible option in DeFi, attracting risk-averse investors. Overall, the tokenization of RWAs presents a significant market opportunity and is reshaping the financial landscape.
