What are real-world assets (RWAs)?
Real-world assets (RWAs) are physical or traditional financial assets that have been tokenised on the blockchain. This transforms them into digital instruments that can be traded more efficiently.

Tangible assets, digitised for efficient trading
Tokenised gold, for example, represents an ounce of physical gold held in reserve.
However, it benefits from speed, transparency, and accessibility of blockchain infrastructure – making it more efficient to trade than its traditional counterpart.

A way to trade 24/7
Unlike traditional markets, tokenised markets have no closing bell.
This means you can trade CFDs on RWAs around the clock and respond to real asset price movements while others can’t.

An option for fractional, leveraged exposure
When you trade CFDs on RWAs, you’re speculating on price movements with leverage – not buying or owning the underlying asset.
This allows you to go long or short with fractional exposure, giving you more flexibility and amplifying potential profits – while also increasing the risk of greater losses.

A route into crypto market dynamics
Tokenised RWAs are priced using blockchain-based markets.
This gives you exposure to price variations that can occur due to differences in liquidity, market activity, and trading hours.
