Airbnb CEO Says RWA Tokenization Could Let Anyone Buy and Sell Fractional Assets

Airbnb co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Brian Chesky expressed optimism about the potential of tokenized real-world assets, or RWAs.

Cointelegraph reported on July 14 that Chesky said RWA tokenization could allow ownership to be transferred globally, instantly and in fractional form.

RWA tokenization refers to issuing and trading claims on real-world assets such as real estate, bonds, stocks and commodities as blockchain-based tokens.

“If the internet made information liquid, this makes ownership liquid,” Chesky said.

He said trust will be the key factor in determining the eventual winner in the RWA tokenization market.
