Real-world assets (RWAs) in DeFi – hype or fundamental shift?
The narrative around tokenizing RWAs is gaining traction. While conceptually appealing for bringing traditional finance liquidity into DeFi, the execution, regulatory hurdles, and oracle dependency seem substantial. Is this truly a game-changer for DeFi, or primarily a long-term vision with limited short-term impact?

I think it's more than just hype; the potential to unlock illiquid assets and bring them on-chain is huge. Regulatory clarity will be key, but the tech itself is a powerful enabler.
Definitely a long-term vision. The 'game-changer' narrative often precedes a lot of practical challenges. I'm more cautious about the short-term impact, especially with the oracle and regulatory risks you mentioned.
