What is a tokenized real-world asset?

A tokenized real-world asset (RWA) is a financial instrument — such as a US Treasury fund, private credit vehicle, or real estate fund — whose ownership or economic rights are represented as a digital token on a blockchain. InsideRWA publishes independent ratings and documentation on these products.

What does InsideRWA publish?

InsideRWA publishes independent AAA–CCC ratings, Prudence Files (8–12 page evidence packs), the IRWA-T benchmark, and Watch alerts for tokenized real-world assets. All ratings are subscriber-paid and unsolicited — never issuer-paid.

Who is InsideRWA built for?

InsideRWA is built for registered investment advisers, broker-dealers, and fiduciaries who need independent, documented evidence on tokenized assets for client portfolios and compliance files.

DOL Prudence Standard · March 2026

The DOL named six factors. We document all six. For every product.

A March 2026 proposed rule creates a process-based safe harbor for 401(k) fiduciaries adding tokenized and alternative assets — conditioned on documented prudence across six named factors. The InsideRWA Score and Prudence File cover all six.
