Question 1

What are Real-World Assets (RWAs)?

Accepted Answer

Real-World Assets (RWA) are tokens that represent traditional financial assets—like stocks, ETFs, or bonds—on the blockchain. Owning RWAs does not grant you any direct ownership interest in the actual shares or stock of the referenced companies. These tokens are designed to track the market price of the underlying asset, but actual performance may vary depending on the issuer and mechanism. Holders have no entitlement to vote, receive dividends or other distributions, or assert legal rights over the underlying shares or any remaining assets if the issuer of those shares is liquidated. Investing in also does not give holders the right to obtain information from the company or the sponsor of the referenced securities.

Question 2

How do RWA tokens work in Trust Wallet?

Accepted Answer

RWA tokens in Trust Wallet represent real-world financial assets, tokenized by partners such as Ondo. You can swap into these tokens directly through the Swaps tab using your crypto—no intermediary needed. Here's how it works: 1. Select an RWA token and input the amount. 2. We fetch a real-time quote via third party providers. 3. Once confirmed, the swap is executed onchain and the RWA token is delivered to your wallet. Tokens are minted or burned based on live market activity, and you retain full self-custody of your assets.

Question 3

Can I access RWAs from anywhere in the world?

Accepted Answer

RWA availability depends on where you are, currently: US, UK, EU: Not available due to regulatory restrictions.

Question 4

Why can’t I see RWA tokens in my Swaps tab?

Accepted Answer

RWA tokens are not available in specific regions including the U.S., U.K., and the EEA. Your swap will not go through if you reside in a region where RWA tokens are not available.

Question 5

What are the trading hours for RWAs?

Accepted Answer

RWA trading is available 24 hours a day, 5 days a week (24/5), aligning with U.S. market accessibility.

Question 6

What happens if I try to trade outside market hours?

Accepted Answer

Trades executed outside these hours will not process, as the platform requires access to underlying traditional market liquidity. Off-hours trading demand is tracked for potential future features including 24/7 trading and limit order functionality.

Question 7

Are there any extra fees when trading RWAs?

Accepted Answer

Other than any fees that are baked into the RWA itself by the issuer (details are in the relevant prospectus), there are no hidden fees or spread. You only pay network fees and what’s included in the quoted swap price. Everything is transparently shown in fiat and crypto before confirming.

Question 8

Are these RWA tokens self-custodied?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once you complete a swap, the tokens are held in your wallet—no third-party custodian or middleman. Read the Risk Disclosures (Section 4 — Jurisdictional Availability & Eligibility) at https://short.trustwallet.com/rwa-risk-disclosures for the functionality that may impact your ability to handle RWAs.

Question 9

Will I earn dividends from these RWA tokens?

Accepted Answer

RWA tokens in Trust Wallet are not designed to distribute separate cash dividends. If dividends apply, their value may be reflected in the value of the token—depending on how the issuer structures the asset.

Question 10

Why do you show both fiat and crypto quotes?

Accepted Answer

To help you understand exactly what you're paying and receiving—whether you're thinking in dollars or ETH.

Question 11

Which blockchains are RWAs supported on?

Accepted Answer

Ethereum and Solana. Support for other chains is coming soon.

Question 12

Why are some asset quotes delayed?

Accepted Answer

Some third parties on our platform use a Dutch auction model to get you the best price. Instead of showing the first available rate, the system opens a short auction where multiple liquidity providers can compete to offer you a better deal. That’s why you may see a “Fetching best quote…” message for a few seconds — it’s the system working behind the scenes to beat the initial price and secure the most cost-efficient swap for you.

Question 13

Are RWAs regulated?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Always check if access to those assets is permitted for you and in your region.

Question 14

Are RWAs taxed?

Accepted Answer

RWA tokens are generally treated like other crypto assets or derivatives for tax purposes, but tax treatment can vary widely depending on your local laws. You may be subject to capital gains tax when trading or selling RWAs, and in some cases, income tax if dividends are distributed. We do not offer any tax advice and recommend consulting a tax professional to understand how this applies to your situation.
