Real-world assets (RWAs) have the potential to revolutionize climate investments by providing a blockchain-based trust layer aimed at institutional investors focusing on sustainable opportunities. RWAs, which encompass both financial and tangible assets on a permanent blockchain ledger, facilitate benefits such as fractional ownership and enhanced access to investors, alongside continuous liquidity. Corey Billington, CEO of Blubird, emphasizes the inefficiencies and slow processes of traditional finance, particularly in climate finance, underscoring the innovations that tokenized RWAs can bring. A recent milestone saw the tokenization of $32 billion worth of emission reduction assets (ERAs), preventing nearly 400 million tons of CO₂ emissions. Billington states that tokenization could significantly streamline climate finance, currently plagued by lengthy verification processes. With projects like Blubird’s anticipating $18 billion in deals through 2026, there is optimism that tokenized RWAs could become fundamental to institutional ESG investment strategies by 2030.
