🚩 (DeFi) generates yield through on-chain activities and investors can earn yield by providing liquidity. Yields many times came in the form of inflationary tokens and were highly profitable during a bull run, but resulted in losses when prices declined and on-chain activity decreased. 💡 The search for sustainable returns has created the emergence of protocols that generate a yield from Real World Assets (RWAs). RWAs can be cash, metals like gold and silver, real estate, corporate debt, insurance policies, salaries and invoices, consumer goods, credit notes, or royalties. According to a report by and , the RWA sector will reach $16 trillion by 2030. 🤖 Blockchains rely on bridges for RWAs to be represented by tokens. Developers use smart contracts to establish the rules and conditions for the use of tokens, including the rights and obligations of token holders. An off-chain guarantor assures RWA tokens are always redeemable for the underlying assets. 💸 RWAs have long been a part of yield generation in TradFi. By connecting the on-chain liquidity providers and off-chain borrowers, investors can now get sustainable yield without the high volatility associated with the DeFi sector. Additionally, investors can add non-correlated on-chain assets to their portfolios. 🏦 RWA save money by cutting out intermediaries, provide access to smaller investments by fractionalizing an asset through a token, and improve access for emerging-market businesses. RWAs also enhance liquidity in traditionally illiquid assets, provide transparency by allowing investors to see ownership, economic value, and track-record.
