BlackRock and Goldman Sachs Bet Big on Real-World Assets (RWA) as Bridge Between TradFi and DeFi
Financial giants BlackRock and Goldman Sachs are aggressively expanding into Real-World Assets (RWA), signaling a tectonic shift in global finance. The movement represents more than a fleeting trend—it’s a fundamental restructuring of how institutional and retail investors access yield-bearing assets like gold, real estate, and government bonds.
RWA tokenization is dismantling traditional barriers, enabling fractional ownership of high-value assets previously reserved for institutional players. A $100 million office building or sovereign bond portfolio can now be divided into digital shares, democratizing access to on-chain yields. This convergence of TradFi and DeFi is accelerating as platforms emerge to facilitate low-threshold participation in asset-backed returns.
