RWA Tokenization Security Guide

RWA tokenization security extends beyond smart contract audits to cover code, custody, legal enforceability, admin keys, oracles, and daily operations, since a token can appear healthy on-chain while its backing asset is impaired off-chain. The sector is maturing, with tokenized bonds, credit instruments, and commodity-backed tokens moving from pilots into regulated deployment. RWA.io and Veritas Protocol reported roughly $14.6 million in losses from on-chain operational failures in tokenized assets during the first half of 2026.
