RWA has been a hot topic in the past two years, with projects on-chain US debt and US stock tokenization also emerging in clusters. But honestly, whether these applications can really take off depends on one word—speed.

Imagine institutions holding hundreds of millions of dollars, with slow settlement processes and frequent congestion in stablecoin transfers. Why would they participate? That’s the ceiling for most RWA projects.

For this reason, I am optimistic about public chains that genuinely address on-chain settlement and transaction speed issues. They are not just storytelling, but solving the critical challenge needed for RWA to truly land.

Yeah, you're right. RWA is just a concept; speed is the key. Wait, which public chain is really fast enough to attract institutions now? Feels like we're still in the PPT stage. Oh my, what happened to those previous US debt tokenization projects? Are they still alive? Slow settlement is truly frustrating. Stablecoin transfers clogging the network are more ridiculous than Ethereum. There are too many storytellers; I just want to see who really masters the settlement speed. The key to RWA is TPS and cost; everything else is pointless. But on the other hand, institutional entry still depends on regulations and clearing up legal messes. Speed is just the foundation; trust and compliance are the real priorities.

Speed is the real king; everything else is虚的 If settlement is slow, institutions simply won't buy in, that's a point made perfectly Traffic congestion stablecoins are really the biggest joke in RWA Those projects that hype the most are actually paper tigers TPS is the real metric; don't talk to me about visions It's better to call it a track, or in less nice terms, waiting for someone to really get moving

Honestly, speed is the line between life and death. RWA without speed is just a PPT. Settlement is half a beat slow, big institutions have already left, who’s playing with this slow chain? TPS is the real hero, everything else is虚的. Public chains that solve speed issues are the ones worth jumping on, everything else is useless. With RWA so hot, most are stuck at the bottleneck, lol. Fast settlement > all those flashy stories. To be honest, institutions care about efficiency, not listening to your dreams. How many of those RWA projects that hype up speed have actually become faster? Without TPS as a foundation, even the best ecosystem is just a display. Want institutions to get involved? First, improve the speed.

tbh the speed thesis here is just cope from people who haven't read the actual settlement mechanics... institutions dgaf about 2s vs 200ms, they care about custody & regulatory arbitrage lol

ngl the settlement speed copium is real... most rwa projects are just bagholding infrastructure before the cascade hits

Basically, it's all useless if the speed isn't enough. Settlement congestion is really a meme; institutions don't care at all. Wait, why haven't those RWA projects that boast every day already collapsed? TPS is the real deal; everything else is fake. Fast speed = more money, this logic makes sense.

Basically, if TPS isn't good enough, everything else is pointless. Speed is the key, everything else is superficial. Institutions are focused on this; traffic congestion really discourages them. RWA is hot, but lagging is indeed a dead end. Public chains that solve speed issues are the real key question. If settlement is slow, institutional funds simply can't flow in; that's a hard flaw. No matter how many stories you tell, it's useless; real solutions are needed to improve TPS. The ceiling is the ceiling; if it can't be faster, nothing can be moved.

In plain terms, RWA without speed is just self-indulgence. The settlement congestion issue is really intense; how can institutions wait? Having only the tokenization concept is not enough; it has to actually run smoothly. With such low TPS, you still want to attract institutional funds? Dream on. Those projects hyping RWA, first optimize your own chain before boasting. Speed is the ultimate goal; everything else is superficial. RWA has been talked about for two years, but no one has truly solved the speed problem yet.

I told you, TPS is the key to RWA Who the hell wants to participate if settlement is slow If speed doesn't keep up, even the best stories are useless Solana this wave kind of knows what they're doing Talking about tokenization every day, but it's clogged up to hell, hilarious Solving speed issues is the real necessity Big institutions don't care how grand your concept is, they only look at how fast settlement is Now I understand why some public chains can stand out RWA is just a speed race, isn't it Honestly, most projects are just storytelling

At the end of the day, it's all about TPS. Just hyping RWA is useless. No one can save you if the settlement bottleneck occurs; it all depends on the chain's true capability. Only when institutions really come in will you know who is genuine. Without speed, everything is pointless. This wave of RWA hype is just a sieve; only those who focus on performance will survive.
