Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) are blockchain-based digital tokens that reflect tangible and traditional financial assets, including cash, commodities, stocks, bonds, credit, artwork, and intellectual property. The tokenization of RWAs represents a significant shift in how these assets can be accessed, exchanged, and managed, opening up a plethora of new opportunities for both blockchain-powered financial services and a wide range of non-financial use cases based on cryptography and decentralized consensus.
Select the real-world asset to tokenize (e.g., real estate, artwork, commodities, bonds).
Create a legal framework (often via an SPV or trust) to ensure the asset can be tokenized and ownership can be legally represented.
Conduct due diligence and independent appraisal to determine the asset’s fair market value.
Code the rules of ownership, transferability, compliance, and profit distribution into blockchain-based smart contracts.
Mint the tokens on a blockchain platform, representing fractional ownership or rights linked to the real-world asset.
Perform Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks on potential investors.
Distribute the tokens via a primary offering (e.g., STO platform, token sale, or private placement).
List the tokens on regulated exchanges or peer-to-peer platforms to enable liquidity and investor exit options.
Ensure regular financial reporting, audits, and legal compliance updates are maintained for token holders and regulators.
If your tokenized RWA incorporates blockchain-based issuance, trading, or investing, it is called a Virtual Asset Service and requires the necessary VARA license. Activities VARA Covers:
The tokens represent shares or economic rights in the SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle), which holds the real-world asset.
Trust or Foundation: For more complicated or global ownership structures.
On-chain legal wrappers enable smart contract compliance and enforcement.
Depending on your company strategy, you may require one or more VARA licenses to operate lawfully in Dubai.
Confirm that the asset type is eligible under UAE property, commodity, and financial regulations.
