1confirmation Founder: Next Wave of Crypto User Growth May Be Driven by RWA Tokenization

1confirmation founder Nick Tomaino stated on platform X that bringing real-world assets (RWA) on-chain will become an important direction for driving the next phase of the crypto industry's development and is expected to lead to mass consumer adoption. The core value of RWA tokenization lies in enabling global users to access asset classes that were previously difficult to obtain. "Global accessibility" has always been one of the most attractive features of the crypto industry and a key reason for the success of crypto assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Nick Tomaino believes that crypto assets which drive new behaviors and are built on concepts beyond mere monetary value will continue to exist long-term. However, as the market gradually realizes that the cost of creating tokens is close to zero and the model of solely relying on token issuance to drive price appreciation is unsustainable, the growth cycle for many "hype-driven tokens" is ending. The future market will enter a new growth phase driven by tokens backed by real assets. Currently, stablecoins have become the most mature use case for RWAs, and over the next year, the tokenization of assets such as stocks, commodities, government bonds, corporate bonds, and real estate is expected to accelerate further.

Nick Tomaino stated that tokenized physical collectibles (such as sports cards and jerseys) could become one of the most promising directions for building and investing in RWAs today. As the speculative-driven token cycle gradually recedes, on-chain assets backed by real value and with practical use cases will become key to attracting the next wave of users into the crypto market.
