Bitcoin’s role in the rise of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is evolving but still limited compared to Ethereum-based platforms. As a store of value, Bitcoin is seen by institutions as a digital gold alternative, often used as collateral in tokenized financial products or held in wrapped form (e.g., WBTC) to interact with DeFi. However, Bitcoin lacks native smart contract capabilities, making it less flexible for direct RWA integration.
Institutional adoption of Bitcoin in tokenized ecosystems is growing slowly—firms like BlackRock and Fidelity explore BTC-backed products, but most RWA innovation happens on Ethereum or Layer 2s. To play a bigger role, Bitcoin may need additional layers (e.g., RSK, Stacks) or greater interoperability.
In summary: Bitcoin supports tokenization as collateral or reserve asset, but it’s not yet central to active RWA development.
