Podcast Discussion: Deep Dive Into This Article.
Investing in Real-World Assets (RWAs) like real estate, commodities, and business financing has traditionally been limited to institutions or wealthy investors due to high capital requirements and complex processes. However, blockchain technology is transforming these traditional markets by tokenising assets, making them more accessible to a global audience.
Polytrade is the leading tokenised Real-World Assets (“RWAs”) marketplace housing over 5000 RWA assets from 50+ protocols across 11 chains.
Backed by & partnered with industry giants Mastercard, Polygon, Alpha Wave, and Matrix Partners, Polytrade is currently the largest RWA marketplace, bringing together tokenized t-bills, credit, stocks, real estate, commodities, collectables, art, IP, creator royalties, luxury goods from partners such as Ondo, Centrifuge, and Galileo (and 50+ others) to a single platform using its innovative ERC-6960 standard where users discover, trade, leverage and do more with RWAs.
Polytrade is also a proud partner of MasterCard, being one of the first apps on MasterCard’s institutional, inter-bank MTN network.
Polytrade has introduced Dibs, a decentralized options-style market designed specifically for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). With Dibs, users can lock in the right to buy/sell an asset at a fixed price in the future, similar to how options work in traditional finance. This allows participants to gain exposure to high-value assets without committing to a full purchase upfront.
Benefits of Dibs:
- Limited Risk, High Upside – Users can gain exposure to valuable assets without committing a large amount upfront.
- No Middlemen – As a DeFi-based system, Dibs operates in a permissionless environment with transparent execution.
- More Than Just Crypto – Dibs extends beyond digital tokens, offering exposure to tangible assets like real estate and commodities.
Using Dibs is straightforward and involves a few key steps:
- Choose Your Asset – Browse through Polytrade’s available DIBs and select the one you believe in.
- Call Dibs – Purchase a Dibs NFT by paying a premium, securing the right to buy/sell the asset at a fixed price in the future.
- Wait Until Expiry – Monitor the market and assess how the asset’s price changes over time.
- Exercise or Let It Expire – On the expiry date, you have two options:
- If the asset price has increased, pay the exercise amount, return the NFT to Polytrade, and claim your asset.
- If the price hasn’t moved favourably, you can let the Dibs expire, with your only cost being the initial premium.
Dibs introduces a practical and flexible way to engage with tokenized RWAs, giving users an opportunity to participate in price movements without needing to own the full asset outright.
In addition to Dibs, Polytrade is gearing up for another major milestone—the launch of its AI Agent. This AI-driven system will enhance the Polytrade ecosystem by integrating intelligent agents across the entire user journey. From personalized asset recommendations to real-time risk analysis and compliance updates, AI will play a key role in making RWA investments more efficient and data-driven.
Polytrade’s AI Agent is already out, marking the beginning of a new AI x RWA paradigm. Stay tuned for more updates as Polytrade continues to innovate in decentralized finance.
Conclusion
Polytrade continues to push the boundaries of tokenized RWAs, offering innovative solutions like Dibs to bring more flexibility and accessibility to real-world asset investments. By enabling users to participate in price movements with minimal risk, Dibs introduces a new way to engage with tokenized assets, bridging the gap between traditional finance and DeFi.
