#现实世界资产RWA代币化 Seeing a16z's 17 trend predictions, I have to be honest — RWA tokenization excites me but also makes me cautious.

The excitement is that this indeed represents a shift in direction. Moving from purely transaction-driven to infrastructure-driven indicates that the market is finally becoming more rational. Stablecoins becoming the key for fiat on/off ramps means on-chain assets now have a real value anchor, no longer just castles in the air.
But my caution is greater. Having been in this space for so many years, I’ve seen too many "innovative concepts" turn into tools for harvesting retail investors. RWA sounds great — bringing real-world assets on-chain, making wealth management accessible to all — but what are the real issues? The problem lies in the emergence of many fake RWA projects during this process.
What does "native crypto approach" mean? Honestly, if you see a project claiming to tokenize real estate, bonds, or art, don’t rush in just yet. Ask clearly: Does the underlying asset truly exist? Is there a genuine legal framework to protect it? Has the issuer been audited? Many projects hide behind the banner of RWA to issue tokens, but in reality, they are no different from traditional scams.
If 2026 truly becomes the year of RWA explosion, the risks will also grow exponentially. I recommend everyone start learning how to distinguish genuine from fake RWA now — look at the team background, legal compliance, whether there are real assets backing it — rather than just focusing on concepts and price surges. The secret to surviving long in this market is: when good things come, assess the risks first before acting, and never be brainwashed by words like "accessible to all."
