RWA tokenization faces criticism, but regulatory clarity and institutional adoption prove it’s building the foundation for finance’s future. Opinion by: Alex Zhang, co-founder at Pharos Tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) is not a self-contained solution to traditional finance problems. To claim such a thing would be one-dimensional.
