People often lament and feel regretful, and many are still saying:

If I had bought Bitcoin in 2013, I would have been financially free by now.

If I had bought Bitcoin in 2024, I would already have ten times the profit.

These regrets are numerous, but what matters most is seizing an opportunity when it comes.

In 2026, I believe the focus will be on RWA.

1. Why is RWA considered the Bitcoin moment of 2025?

Bitcoin solved the problem of digital currency, while RWA is addressing the issue of “asset digitization.” Simply put, things you could only buy through banks or brokers in the past—such as government bonds, gold, real estate, high-end art, wine, Pu'er tea—may all be “tokenized” into digital certificates and traded on the blockchain in the future. What does this mean? Barriers are lowered, and liquidity is unleashed. What was once only accessible to institutions and the wealthy can now be participated in by ordinary people using just a smartphone.

2. Why are capital markets eyeing RWA?

In 2023-2024, on-chain projects for U.S. Treasury bonds have already exploded. MakerDAO, Ondo Finance, Maple, and others are involved.

Why? Because traditional markets have enormous capital:

The global bond market exceeds $100 trillion, and the real estate market surpasses $300 trillion. Even moving just 1% of this capital onto the blockchain would be enough to support a whole new DeFi 2.0. In other words, Bitcoin’s “trillion-dollar market cap” might just be the appetizer; RWA is the main course.

3. What opportunities can ordinary people seize?

Many think RWA is far from them, but that’s not true:

Investment-related:

Participate in projects or protocols supporting RWA, such as Ondo, Centrifuge, etc. Arbitrage:

Cross-market interest rate differences, such as on-chain government bond yields versus bank wealth management.

Entrepreneurship:

Create tools, content, communities, and services around RWA. Just like how Bitcoin gave rise to numerous exchanges and wallets, the key is to look beyond price fluctuations and see the industry upgrades behind the trend.

4. What social impacts will RWA bring?

Wealth redistribution reshuffle:

Assets that were previously inaccessible due to high thresholds may be “fragmented” into portions costing just a few tens of dollars.

New corporate financing models:

Small and medium-sized enterprises can tokenize inventory or accounts receivable for on-chain financing. Personal asset digitization:

Not just houses and cars, but even a single Pu'er tea cake could become an asset circulating on the blockchain.

That’s why many say:

Bitcoin is “digital gold,” and RWA is “all things in the digital world.”
