In 2025, certain RWA asset classes face legal ambiguities in on-chain ownership verification:
Carbon Credits: Tokenization platforms like Toucan faced restrictions from registries (e.g., Verra) due to dual-counting risks and unclear legal recognition of immobilized credits.
Real Estate: Fragmented ownership via NFTs raises jurisdictional disputes over property rights, especially in cross-border transactions.
Private Credit & Bonds: Regulatory uncertainty persists as tokenized debt instruments may breach securities laws if not properly structured, with SEC scrutiny in the U.S.
Art & Collectibles: Chain-of-title verification remains challenging due to reliance on centralized authentication, risking disputes over provenance.
Cross-Border Assets: Jurisdictional conflicts in asset custody and compliance (e.g., China’s crypto bans) complicate cross-chain ownership claims.
These gaps highlight unresolved regulatory alignment and technical-legacy system integration issues.
