Tokenized stocks are considered RWA (Real World Assets). They include several subcategories, such as: 1. **Equity Tokens**: Represent ownership in a company. 2. **Debt Tokens**: Represent loans or bonds issued by companies. 3. **Real Estate Tokens**: Represent ownership or shares in real estate properties. 4. **Commodity Tokens**: Represent physical commodities like gold or oil. 5. **Art Tokens**: Represent ownership in artworks or collectibles.
"Tokenized assets" is a broad term that can encompass many things—but the first step in research is to distinguish: tokenized stocks, tokenized U.S. Treasuries, and tokenized gold, while similar in name, are three types of products with significant differences in product structure, holder structure, and trading venues. Mixing them together for statistics is a common classification issue in RWA research.
