What does RWA mean in crypto?
RWA = Real World Assets
It means "real assets in the real world" such as:
Real estate 🏠
Gold and precious metals 🪙
Government bonds or debt instruments 📑
Stocks, loans, or any traditional assets present in the economy.
---
How do RWA enter crypto?
Assets are tokenized (Tokenization), meaning converting the real asset into a digital token on the blockchain.
For example: An apartment worth $100,000 → 100,000 tokens are issued on the blockchain, each token represents $1.
The investor can buy/sell these tokens easily like any cryptocurrency, instead of needing to buy the entire apartment.

The relationship of the OM (MANTRA) project with RWA
The MANTRA (OM) project focuses on building DeFi (decentralized finance) platforms that support the tokenization of real-world assets RWA.
This means OM does not move only according to the mood of the crypto market (like BTC or MEME coins), but is also affected by:
News from traditional economics (interest rates, debts, bonds).
Partnerships with companies/banks if they decide to use their protocol for asset tokenization.
---
The result
OM sometimes moves differently from the market:
If the entire market is red but there is strong news about RWA → OM may rise.
And if the market is bullish but there are no new news/partnerships in the field of RWA → OM may lag.
