RWAs: from storytelling to reality? A look at Bitget’s new index
We’ve all seen narratives rise and fall in crypto: the metaverse in 2021, AI in 2023, memecoins in 2024…
But today, a new trend is gaining momentum: Real World Assets (RWAs).
👉 What are RWAs?
They are traditional assets (treasuries, real estate, commodities) tokenized on blockchain, making them tradable 24/7.
📈 The numbers speak for themselves:
$8B+ already locked in RWA protocols
Giants like BlackRock are testing bond tokenization
Projections of $1.5T in tokenized assets by 2030
And now, to ride this trend, Bitget has launched its RWA Index Perpetual Futures.
The idea is simple: instead of picking a single token (and risking the wrong choice), you can trade the entire RWA sector in one perpetual index.
It’s almost like an onchain ETF, but with the flexibility of derivatives.
🤔 Can this change the game?
Yes, because it gives traders a straightforward way to access the RWA trend
Yes, because it may serve as an entry point for institutions
But it still depends on adoption
the narrative alone won’t be enough
👉 What do you think? Do RWAs have the potential to become the first narrative that truly bridges TradFi and DeFi?
