Tokenised RWA
RFQ
The tokenised real world asset market has grown from $5 billion in 2022 to over $25 billion in early 2026. BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs are all active. The assets exist.
The problem is not tokenisation. The problem is what happens next. Institutions holding tokenised treasuries, bonds, and money market funds at block size have nowhere to go when they need to trade. No neutral multi-LP execution infrastructure exists at institutional scale. Railr is building it.

The Liquidity Gap
The problem is not tokenisation. The problem is what happens next.
Tokenised RWA instruments have a secondary market problem. Low trading volumes. Limited execution venues. Long holding periods. Institutions that have tokenised assets on their balance sheet face the same challenge as private equity investors before secondary markets developed. The asset is real. The value is real. The exit is not straightforward.
If you hold a significant position in a tokenised money market fund and need to redeploy capital, your options are limited:
Wait for redemption
Find a bilateral counterparty via manual OTC
Accept a discount for speed
None of those options reflect what institutional execution infrastructure should look like in 2026.
Railr Tokenised RWA RFQ provides the missing layer. A permissioned network of verified institutional participants. Multiple LPs competing for your flow. Pre-trade depth preview. Independent settlement infrastructure that eliminates counterparty risk on both legs. The same institutional execution model that powers Railr's digital asset network, applied to tokenised real world assets.
The Market
The numbers frame the opportunity.
$25 billion in tokenised assets on-chain as of March 2026, growing consistently regardless of broader market conditions. Government bonds and money market funds represent approximately 45% of the market. Private credit is the fastest growing segment. McKinsey projects $2 trillion by 2030. Ripple and BCG project $18.9 trillion by 2033.
Over 40 major financial institutions are active in RWA tokenisation. 86% of surveyed institutional investors have exposure to or are planning allocation to tokenised assets. The assets are accumulating faster than the secondary market infrastructure to support them.
That gap is where Railr operates.

Settle via Portus
Settlement is executed through Portus, independent settlement infrastructure purpose-built for institutional tokenised asset trades. Both parties deliver to Portus simultaneously. When both deliveries are confirmed, Portus completes the exchange. Neither party can lose their asset unless both sides complete.

Settlement Without Counterparty Risk
Neither party is exposed.
Traditional bilateral settlement for tokenised assets carries counterparty risk. You deliver first and hope the other party delivers. Or they deliver first and hope you do. Somebody always takes risk in the window between the two transfers.
Portus eliminates that window entirely.
Both parties deliver simultaneously to Portus. Both deliveries are confirmed independently. The exchange completes in a single automatic event. Neither party is exposed to the other during settlement.
Portus is independently audited, non-custodial, and non-upgradeable post-deployment. Neither Railr nor either counterparty holds access to assets held within Portus at any point. Settlement infrastructure documentation and audit reports are available to verified participants on request.
This is the settlement standard that institutional RWA trading requires and that no other execution venue currently provides.

Asset Classes in Scope
Where the secondary market gap is largest.
Tokenised Government Securities
US treasuries, UK gilts, and sovereign instruments issued by regulated asset managers. The largest and most established category with the deepest existing holder base.
Tokenised Money Market Funds
Institutional MMF units from regulated issuers. Institutions holding these as yield-generating cash alternatives need block-size secondary liquidity when they need to redeploy.
Tokenised Bonds & Credit
Investment grade corporate bonds and private credit instruments where secondary market liquidity is currently limited to manual bilateral negotiation.
Tokenised Fund Units
Units in regulated fund structures where the tokenisation layer exists but institutional secondary execution infrastructure does not.
Coverage expands with LP network development and early access participant input. If you hold instruments not listed here, tell us. Coverage follows institutional demand.
The Competitive Gap
No neutral institutional RFQ network exists for tokenised RWA secondary trading at block size.
Public decentralised venues have insufficient institutional liquidity and no counterparty verification. Manual OTC negotiation is slow, relationship-dependent, and produces single quotes. Existing institutional platforms are not networks built for this asset class. None offer the combination of permissioned access, competitive multi-LP pricing, and independent atomic settlement that institutional compliance teams require.
Railr is neutral infrastructure. Not a principal. Not a broker. Not a custodian. A permissioned network where verified institutions compete for flow and independent infrastructure handles settlement.
Why Railr Is Positioned for This
Building this from scratch requires years. Railr already has it.
Network Active
A permissioned network of verified institutional participants who trust each other. Already operating across digital asset markets.
Settlement Live
Portus settlement infrastructure is operational. On-chain delivery monitoring and verified settlement recording is live.
Extending, Not Building
Extending to tokenised RWA instruments is a network expansion, not a new build. That head start is real and it matters now while the secondary market is forming.
