TRACEABLE AND TRANSPARENT TOKENIZATION GLOBAL ACCESS TO MARKETS AUTOMATION WITH SMART CONTRACTS [Book a meeting](/en/meeting) Real World Assets (RWA) are physical or financial assets — real estate, debt, commodities or energy — represented as tokens on a blockchain. Their legal regime depends on the nature of the underlying asset and the right the token carries. Unknown Gravity structures and builds RWA issuances. **Transform physical assets into digital ones. Real World Assets (RWA) are here.** We help you tokenize tangible assets, with greater transparency and accessibility, and potential liquidity where a market exists to trade them. ## 01 / What are Real World Assets (RWA)? Real World Assets (RWA) are physical assets such as real estate, works of art, or financial products whose rights are represented as tokens using blockchain technology.\ The process does not digitize the asset itself: it represents in digital format the rights structured over it, making it easier to buy, sell or invest within the corresponding legal structure. **Advantages of tokenizing your physical assets** - Entry in smaller tranches, within the limits set by each issuance. - A traceable record of token movements; legal ownership is evidenced in the official register for each asset (Art. 3 of the Spanish Mortgage Act for real estate). - International reach subject to the rules of each destination country and to the controls built into the issuance. ## 02 / Real World Assets (RWA) use cases RWA is applied in multiple industries, including: - Real estate: Sale and rental through tokenized rights over the property. - Finance: More accessible financial instruments. - Art and collectibles: Democratization of investment in exclusive works. - Metals: Gold, silver... ## 03 / What changes for the asset owner Tokenization makes it possible to open an asset up to more investors with smaller entry amounts, within the limits set by each issuance: investor identification, transfer restrictions and the rules of the destination country. On its own it neither expands the market nor turns an illiquid asset into a liquid one. ## 04 / RWA: potential liquidity and new investors without selling the asset With Real World Assets (RWA), the rights over traditionally illiquid physical assets, such as property or machinery, can be represented as tokens and fractionalized. These tokens are not freely tradable: when they represent a financial instrument, transfers take place within securities regulation, subject to the applicable restrictions and controls. Properly structured, this fractionalization allows owners to bring in investors without selling the entire asset. ## 05 / What RWA tokenization brings to companies and investors The technology behind RWA, the blockchain, provides a traceable record of ownership and transactions.\ Companies and investors can automate processes with smart contracts, reduce operating costs and gain transparency, always within the regulatory framework applicable to each type of asset.

FAQ ## Frequently asked questions **What assets can be tokenized as RWA?** Not just any asset. What is tokenized are rights over assets such as real estate, artwork, machinery or commodities, provided the right is identified, transferable and its ownership recorded in the relevant register. Financial products are not physical assets: they follow securities regulation (Arts. 2 and 6 of Law 6/2023 (LMVSI), BOE-A-2023-7053). **Is it legal to tokenize physical assets?** Yes, and what determines the applicable regime is not whether the asset is registered or certified, but which right the token represents, how that right is transferred off-chain, and whether the transaction falls under securities regulation. That classification is settled before issuing (Arts. 2 and 6 LMVSI, BOE-A-2023-7053; Arts. 609 and 1280.1 of the Spanish Civil Code). **Can I split an asset with RWA?** Not exactly. What is fractionalized is not the asset itself, but the rights structured over it within a legal vehicle: units in a company or fund, credit rights, or rights to the income the asset generates. Receiving or transferring a token does not in itself transfer ownership, which requires both title and delivery (Art. 609 of the Spanish Civil Code) and, for real estate, a public deed and registration at the Land Registry (Art. 1280.1 of the Civil Code and Art. 3 of the Mortgage Act). Dividing ownership of the asset itself would require setting up a co-ownership (Art. 392 of the Civil Code). This page is informative.
