RWA Restrictions

Definition

RWA restrictions are limitations placed on the use or tokenization of real-world assets. These refer to specific rules or conditions that govern how tangible or intangible assets, such as real estate, commodities, or intellectual property, can be represented and traded as tokens on a blockchain. Restrictions may pertain to legal ownership verification, transferability, jurisdictional compliance, or eligibility criteria for token holders. Their purpose is to ensure regulatory adherence, maintain asset integrity, and manage the legal complexities of linking off-chain assets with on-chain representations.
