Five Reasons Institutional Investors Will NOT Buy Tokenized R.W.A.’s
Institutional investors will not self custody tokenized RWAs.
Here’s the hard truth:
1. They Already Have Better Options
Big institutions don’t need tokenized RWAs.
If they want exposure to real-world assets, they call their broker-dealer – Bank of America Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, or UBS – and buy via their securities accounts.
Why would they bother with tokens tied to offshore SPVs?
2. Tokenized RWAs Add Complexity, Not Value
You need to know structure of tokenized RWAs:
– Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs)
– Offshore entities
– Custody challenges
Imagine pitching this to institutional investors.
They’ll tell you: “Why would we buy your garbage tokens when we can get the real thing?”
3. Lack of Infrastructure and Trust
A friend of mine from a Swiss family office once told me, “Anton, we can’t touch this.”
Why?
– No infrastructure for wallets or custody
– Compliance nightmares
– Regulatory uncertainty
And liquidity?
He straight-up said: “If you want me to buy RWAs, I need a central bank digital currency (CBDC) first.”
So who’s actually buying RWAs today?
It’s NOT institutional investors.
It’s crypto-native firms – market makers, hedge funds, DAOs.
Why?
Because they’re stuck within the crypto ecosystem.
They need tokenization to access RWAs.
But for institutions?
RWAs are not needed.
They already have prime brokers, securitization, and access to traditional financial markets.
🤔 Is Tokenized RWA Adoption Dead?
RWAs make sense for crypto, but they’re a dead-end for TradFi.
What do you think?
Am I missing an angle here?
