Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization has emerged as a transformative force in global finance, unlocking trillions of dollars in traditional assets—from real estate to fixedincome securities—for blockchain-enabled liquidity, accessibility, and efficiency. Among these assets, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) stand as a cornerstone of traditional securitization, yet their legacy operational model, plagued by slow settlement, fragmented compliance, and siloed stakeholder systems, has become a critical bottleneck to RWA’s scalable adoption. This research explores how the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) Technical Standard addresses these inherent inefficiencies, bridging traditional REIT securitization workflows with blockchain’s core strengths to redefine the future of RWA tokenization.
