Here’s why Solana promises tokenization of real-world assets
Layer 1 (L1) blockchain Solana (GROUND) recently shared insights from a report titled “Overview of Real-World Assets on Solana” by Reflexivity Research.
This report highlights blockchain’s robust infrastructure, strong developer community, and cutting-edge technology, which make it an ideal platform for real-world assets (RWA). tokenization.
Why Solana Stands Out in the Real-World Asset Tokenization Industry
Solana has become an important platform for the deployment of RWA due to its high flow rate and an active business ecosystem. Its ecosystem supports tokenization via decentralized exchanges (DEX), oracle services, access and exit ramps and bridges.
Solana’s RWA hosting benefits include scalability, low gas feesAnd high transaction speed. These are essential elements for frequent trading of tokenized assets. The development of specialized infrastructure, including RWA-specific tools, further supports the growth of tokenization on Solana.

It also uses standardized tokens, such as the Solana Program Library (SPL) token and Metaplex standards for non-fungible tokens (NFT), to ensure secure, efficient transactions and enhanced liquidity. Solana’s SPL token standard manages everything related to tokens on its network.
“This ensures that users can be confident that the transfer of a specific SPL token does not involve malicious code capable of stealing their funds,” the Solana team said. wrote.
In January, Solana introduced an iteration called “token expansion,” which enables collaboration with large regulated institutions. These extensions address real-world asset tokenization needs, providing features such as confidential transfers and interest accrual.
Austin Federa, head of strategy at Solana, explained that Solana’s token expansions include more than a dozen features designed to meet the needs of developers, businesses, and financial institutions.
“Token issuers, from game developers to stable coin Issuers can choose to enable any combination of token extensions, reducing the amount of work your engineering team needs to do and providing features that were not possible before,” Federa explain.
Key Projects Leading to RWA Tokenization on Solana
Solana’s Real Asset Tokenization Ecosystem spans yielding assets such as U.S. Treasuries and non-yielding assets such as real estate, private credit and physical assets. Key projects of tokenized US Treasuries include Ondo Finance (USDY) And Maple Finance (cash management). Additionally, Etherfuse on Solana offers “stable bonds,” a tokenized bond offering aimed at retail investors in Mexico.

Parcl on Solana allows investing in specific geographic real estate markets without requiring direct ownership for non-producing assets. HomebaseDAO tokenizes real estate assets and enables fractional ownership using NFTs on Solana.
Meanwhile, private lending platforms like Credix Finance allow investors to allocate stablecoins (e.g. USDC) into the liquidity pool or invest in specific tranches of transactions. Credix facilitates USDC borrowing for borrowers, typically fintech companies in emerging markets.
Additionally, the Solana ecosystem includes tokenized physical goods. BAXUS allows you to buy and sell tokenized spirits, Collector Crypt tokenizes physical cards, and AgriDex tokenizes agricultural products.
The Pyth network oracle also provides real-time data feeds for business and financial applications, taking advantage of Solana’s fast block times and low transaction costs. This diversity illustrates Expanded applications of real-world asset tokenization and potential on Solana.
Despite its potential, the real-world asset tokenization industry faces challenges including regulatory compliance, enforceability issues, and reliance on oracles. New standards and third-party audits are needed to build trust and prevent fraud. Borys Pikalov, co-founder and managing partner of tokenization company Stobox, highlighted the importance of regulatory compliance for blockchain providers.

“Developers of channels with a strong RWA focus should comply with technical standards relating to securities infrastructure that will be selected by regulated entities for their RWA operations. Given that most RWA transactions will likely be regulated, the absence of such compliance would leave RWA-focused chains with a relatively small market,” he told BeInCrypto.
