The technology for tokenizing real-world assets has been functional for several years. The bottleneck isn't smart contracts — it's the legal recognition of on-chain ownership claims when you need to enforce them off-chain. A token representing a real estate claim is only valuable if a court in the relevant jurisdiction will honor it. Most won't, yet. The regulatory progress on this in Dubai, Singapore, and Switzerland is meaningfully ahead of the US and EU. This is why I think RWA adoption will track regulatory geography before it tracks technology. The question isn't "can we tokenize this?" — it's "can we take this to court if we need to?" Until that answer is reliably yes, institutional adoption will stay cautious regardless of on-chain efficiency gains.
