#My RWA Journey# · Real Assets Meet the Blockchain

‎ #Gate Square Mid Autumn Creator Incentive#
Over the last couple of years, Real World Assets (RWA) have evolved from a quiet idea into one of the most powerful forces reshaping digital finance. Tokenized securities alone now exceed $2.8 billion in value, and tokenized stocks have crossed $420 million in trading volume. Even Nasdaq stepping in with an SEC filing shows this movement is no longer experimental it’s becoming a global standard.

I’ve chosen to be part of this shift from the very beginning.
And two names stand out for me: ONDO Finance and Chainlink (LINK).
Both projects gave me confidence not only in technology but also in long-term financial growth.
ONDO Finance · Redefining Traditional Assets for Web3
My Entry Point: I first bought ONDO at $0.55. Today, it trades around $1.10 doubling my position with a 100% gain.
Purpose: ONDO bridges traditional finance with blockchain by tokenizing U.S. Treasuries, money market funds, and equities, making them accessible 24/7.
Backbone: Supported by institutions like BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Pantera, ONDO has extended its reach with Flux Finance and Ondo DAO.

Innovation: The upcoming Ondo Chain is designed as a regulation-focused Layer-1 chain, offering secure and compliant infrastructure for global investors.

ONDO isn’t just a token; it’s building the rails for institutional DeFi. Its product OUSG is already a strong passive-income solution for on-chain investors.

Chainlink (LINK) · Powering Trust Through Data
My Entry Point: I invested in LINK at $14, and with the price now at $25, it’s been a rewarding ride.

Purpose: Chainlink functions as the trusted oracle network that connects real-world data to smart contracts. It powers DeFi, insurance, gaming, and RWA applications.

Utility: With the Chainlink Reserve model, off-chain and on-chain revenues are converted into LINK, making it more than a utility token it’s a growing store of value.

Vision: Chainlink 2.0 expands its role as the backbone of Web3 by enabling hybrid smart contracts and universal data connectivity.

Simply put, LINK is more than a bridge it’s the security layer that makes real-world adoption possible.

My Take on Gate’s xStocks

Using Gate’s xStocks feature, I added tokenized Apple and Nvidia shares to my portfolio. The benefits? Lower fees, no trading-hour restrictions, and the ability to diversify with globally recognized stocks. For me, tech equities are the clearest example of RWA’s true potential.

My Strategy & Outlook

The next big wave in RWA will come from institutional-grade, regulation-compliant ecosystems.

ONDO and LINK are two projects I trust because of their strong technical foundations and sustainable growth models.

Gate’s xStocks give investors on-chain access to traditional financial markets, which I believe is essential for long-term balance.

I see RWA not just as a trend but as the future fabric of finance. My strategy is simple: stay early, stay diversified, and stay aligned with projects that are building for institutions as well as retail
