Key Challenges and Risks:
Credit Risk: The risk of default by underlying borrowers/assets issuers. How decentralized protocols effectively assess and manage the credit of off-chain entities is a key challenge.
Legal and Compliance Risks: Tokenizing real-world assets involves complex legal structures, securities regulations, and KYC/AML requirements. Regulatory attitudes vary across different jurisdictions.
Counterparty Risk: Risks associated with intermediaries such as custodians and asset service providers.
Technical Risk: Vulnerabilities in smart contracts, oracle failures, etc.
Market/Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates may affect the attractiveness of fixed-income products or the value of underlying assets.
Liquidity Risk: There may be insufficient liquidity in the secondary market for tokenized assets.
