Castle Labs Research: Tokenization Is Just the Beginning for RWA Utility

A research report by Castle Labs Research argues that the next phase of the Real World Asset (RWA) sector will shift from simply increasing the number of tokenized assets to focusing on utility and composability. Using Mantle as a case study, the report highlights that while accessibility to assets like stocks and bonds has improved through various platforms, the true challenge lies in making these assets productive capital on-chain. The report suggests that for RWAs to achieve widespread adoption, they must offer added value beyond their traditional counterparts, such as deep liquidity, collateral utility, and cross-platform composability.
