Financial assets are part of the tokenisation landscape.
Equities in the RWA taxonomy
See where financial assets sit beside physical assets and resource rights, and why global does not mean interchangeable.
Where equities sit in the platform
An editorial platform taxonomy, not a universal legal classification.
| Platform category | Examples | Underlying economic claim |
|---|---|---|
| Physical assets | Property, farmland, art, watches | Rights in a tangible asset or an entity holding it |
| Financial assets | Stocks, bonds, fund interests | Equity, debt or fund participation |
| Resource and use rights | Water entitlements, certain licences | A defined legal right subject to local conditions |
| Representation layer | Traditional record, authorised token, custodial wrapper | How rights are recorded, held or transferred |
In conventional portfolio terminology, “real assets” often means something narrower than “real-world assets” in tokenisation.
Global equity diligence
Six dimensions that change the meaning of the same ticker across borders.
| Market dimension | Evidence and questions |
|---|---|
| Company fundamentals | Revenue mix, cash conversion, governance, diluted shares and financing needs |
| Jurisdiction | Disclosure rules, shareholder remedies, foreign-investor eligibility and tax |
| Currency | Issuer reporting currency, trading currency and investor spending currency |
| Trading venue | Liquidity, spreads, hours, settlement and market access |
| Holding structure | Direct registration, broker chain, depositary instrument or token contract |
| Portfolio context | Country, sector, style and single-company concentration |
Water rights also need a defined claim.
A preview of the resource-rights category.
A water right can authorise abstraction or use from a source under conditions. An entitlement and a year’s available allocation are not interchangeable.
Australia has regulated water entitlement and allocation trading. Jamaica’s WRA administers abstraction-and-use licensing; that should not be assumed to confer the same trading rights.
Water rights can fit the resource-rights category, but a separate appraisal must establish transferability, allocation reliability, permitted use and delivery economics. Australian water-market framework · Jamaica WRA services
Global does not mean interchangeable.
Operating geography, listing, domicile and currency can all differ.
A familiar ticker or brand is not a complete exposure map. Use official filings and the instrument’s documents before importing assumptions into the model. No live market data or automatic recommendations are supplied here.
Next: document the evidence behind every input.
