My go-to RWA Analytics Platform🛠️
Real-world Assets (RWA) is one of the highest potential crypto sectors.
So in this issue, I thought it would be interesting to share the best real-world assets analytics platform that I’ve discovered to date:
With this tool, you can:
Read the latest major RWA-related news
Track the growth of the tokenization sector over time
See what are the fastest-growing RWA sub-categories (this includes tokenized stocks, commodities, private credit, etc.)
Check what public blockchains are leading in on-chain tokenization
Find research articles about RWAs
…. and more
What’s great is that the team behind it is continuously shipping new features in order to improve it.
