03 / Token Issuance

Backed Finance

Best forDeFi protocols and institutions wanting EU-compliant tokenized securities that anyone can hold on-chain

Issues tokenized securities (ETFs, bonds, equities) that trade freely on public blockchains while the issuance itself is EU-compliant and 1:1 backed. If you want permissionless on-chain exposure to traditional assets without KYC at the holder level, Backed creates those tokens.

EU-CompliantPermissionless1:1 BackedSwiss
Provider intelligence

Backed Finance solves a specific problem: how to put traditional securities on-chain in a way that is compliant at issuance but permissionless at the holder level. They issue tokens from Switzerland under EU frameworks, backed 1:1 by real assets held by regulated custodians. DeFi protocols can integrate these tokens without requiring their users to KYC. Useful for building on-chain structured products or providing DeFi liquidity pools with real-world yield.

Centrifuge

Best forLenders and borrowers who want to tokenize real-world loans and access DeFi capital pools

Provider intelligence

Figure Markets proved that tokenization is not just for exotic assets. It processes billions in home equity loans entirely on the Provenance blockchain, reducing settlement from weeks to days. If you are a bank, lender, or mortgage company wanting to move your lending operations on-chain for operational efficiency, Figure provides the blockchain, the marketplace, and the proven volume. This is tokenization as infrastructure, not tokenization as a product.

06 / Blockchain Infrastructure (L1)

Mantra Chain

Best forBuilders who need a compliance-ready L1 blockchain designed for RWA tokenization in MENA/Asia

Provides a Layer 1 blockchain with compliance built in (KYC/AML modules, permissioned access, regulatory reporting). If you are building a tokenization product and need a chain where regulatory compliance is a native feature rather than an afterthought, Mantra is the infrastructure layer.

Compliance L1UAE-BasedMENA FocusBuilt-In KYC
Provider intelligence

Mantra Chain is not a tokenization platform you use to tokenize an asset. It is the blockchain you build your tokenization product on. If you are a developer, fintech, or institution that needs a chain with built-in compliance (KYC/AML, permissioned access, regulatory reporting), Mantra provides that infrastructure. Based in UAE, it is particularly well-positioned for MENA and Asian markets where regulators are actively supporting digital asset frameworks.

08 / Yield & Treasury Tokenization

Ondo Finance

Best forInstitutions and DeFi protocols wanting on-chain exposure to US Treasury yields without off-chain complexity

Gives you on-chain access to US Treasury yields. If you are an institution, DAO treasury, or DeFi protocol that wants to earn government bond yields without leaving the blockchain, Ondo tokenizes Treasuries into products you can hold and integrate.

Tokenized TreasuriesInstitutional-GradeRapid GrowthDeFi Integrated
Provider intelligence

Ondo Finance solves one problem clearly: getting US Treasury yields on-chain. If you are a DAO with idle stablecoins, an institution wanting blockchain-native yield, or a DeFi protocol needing a stable yield source, Ondo tokenizes US Treasuries and bonds into on-chain products. You deposit, you earn Treasury yields, the complexity of buying government bonds is abstracted away. Central to the $3B+ tokenized treasury market.

09 / Blockchain Infrastructure (L2)

Plume Network

Best forDevelopers building RWA applications who need a chain with native compliance, identity, and DeFi composability

Provides a dedicated Layer 2 blockchain where RWA applications can be built with compliance, identity, and DeFi composability as native features. If you are a developer building a tokenization app, lending protocol, or RWA marketplace and want infrastructure purpose-built for real-world assets (not repurposed from a general L2), Plume is the chain.

RWA-Dedicated L2DeFi ComposableModularGrowing Ecosystem
Provider intelligence

Plume Network is not a platform that tokenizes your asset. It is the blockchain you build your RWA product on. Unlike general-purpose L2s, Plume optimizes its entire architecture for real-world asset use cases: compliance modules, identity layers, and DeFi primitives are native to the chain. Developers building tokenization platforms, RWA lending protocols, or asset marketplaces get infrastructure designed for their specific needs rather than adapting a general-purpose chain. Also useful for existing tokenized assets that want DeFi composability (RWAfi).

Polymath / Polymesh

Best forIssuers of regulated securities who need a blockchain where compliance is built into every transaction

A purpose-built blockchain for regulated securities. If you are issuing tokens that must comply with securities law and you do not want to bolt compliance onto a general-purpose chain, Polymesh has identity, compliance, and governance as base-layer features. Every transaction is natively compliant.

Purpose-Built L1Native ComplianceIdentity LayerGovernance
Provider intelligence

Polymesh took the position that regulated securities should not run on general-purpose blockchains. Instead of adding compliance as smart contract layers on top of Ethereum, Polymesh built identity, compliance, confidentiality, and governance directly into the chain. If you are issuing equity, debt, or fund tokens under securities regulation and need provable compliance at the chain level (not the application level), Polymesh is the infrastructure choice. The trade-off: you are locked into the Polymesh ecosystem.

13 / Regulated Fund Tokenization

Superstate

Best forInstitutional investors wanting regulated, on-chain fund products for Treasury and money market exposure

Creates regulated tokenized fund products that give institutional investors on-chain access to US Treasuries and money markets.

Regulated FundsDeFi-Native TeamInstitutionalCompound Founder
Provider intelligence

Superstate builds regulated tokenized funds. Founded by Robert Leshner (creator of Compound), it bridges DeFi innovation with traditional fund regulation. Unlike DeFi yield protocols, Superstate products are fully regulated fund structures, meaning institutional investors with compliance requirements can participate. If you are a family office, RIA, or institutional allocator wanting Treasury yield on-chain through a structure your compliance team will approve, Superstate is the answer.

Selection framework

How to evaluate adjacent RWA infrastructure

01

Separate platform from venue

A marketplace or exchange can help distribution and trading, while a tokenization platform helps issuers create and manage the asset itself.

02

Check the role in the stack

Identify whether the company is a chain, protocol, product issuer, marketplace, exchange, lending market or regulated access layer.

03

Match the buyer need

Issuers may need platform software first. Investors may need product issuers or marketplaces. Developers may need RWA chains or protocols.

04

Verify regulatory fit

Review licensing, jurisdiction, investor eligibility, custody, transfer restrictions and secondary market rules before using any venue or product.

FAQ

RWA market infrastructure questions

Is this the same as a tokenization platform?

No. This page covers adjacent infrastructure such as marketplaces, protocols, chains and tokenized product issuers. Issuer-side tokenization platforms are listed separately.

Why does FluidRWA separate these companies?

It makes buyer discovery cleaner. A project that needs software to tokenize an asset has a different need than an investor looking for a tokenized product or a developer choosing an RWA chain.

Can a company appear in both categories?

Yes, if its core product clearly supports both issuer-side tokenization and adjacent market infrastructure. FluidRWA categorizes by primary buyer use case.
