RWAs Are Booming: What That Means for Investors Like You

Real-world assets (RWAs) are having a moment—and it’s not just a crypto trend anymore. From luxury cars to tokenized real estate, RWAs are reshaping the future of investing, and the doors are opening wider than ever.
This article covers:
  • What RWAs (Real-World Assets) actually are
  • Why institutional and retail investors are paying attention
  • How tokenization is transforming access and liquidity
  • Where collector cars fit into this fast-growing space
Real-World Assets used to be… well, boring.
Real estate, art, gold, collectibles—tangible, valuable, but not exactly exciting to the average investor. But now? They’re the buzzword in every major investment report, and they’re quickly becoming one of the most talked-about sectors in finance.
In fact, the RWA market is expected to grow to $16 trillion by 2030, according to Boston Consulting Group. And the biggest accelerant? Tokenization.
So what’s driving the boom?
A mix of macroeconomic pressure and tech innovation. In a volatile market, investors want assets with real valuelow correlation to stocks, and strong historical performance.RWAs check all three boxes.
Meanwhile, blockchain technology is removing barriers. Tokenization enables fractional ownership, greater liquidity, and transparent recordkeeping—all without needing millions to access high-value assets. According to a 2023 Citi report, tokenized assets could represent $4 to $5 trillion in global assets by 2030.
This isn’t theoretical. It’s happening now—and collector cars are firmly in the driver’s seat.
At MCQ Markets, RWAs are our entire business model.
Our platform turns iconic, investment-grade vehicles—like the Ferrari 512 BBi, Lexus LFA and Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series—into SEC-qualified offerings, so they can then be fractionalized into investable shares. This gives everyday investors access to an asset class once reserved for elite collectors. No crypto wallet needed. No gated institutions.
Just real-world, high-performance assets, backed by real-world demand.
And the market backs it up: the Knight Frank Luxury Index shows that classic cars have appreciated by 185% in the last decade—outpacing other top-performing RWAs like wine and fine art.
RWAs are no longer niche—they’re the next evolution of modern investing.
If the last decade was about digital speculation, the next one is about real-world value. Whether it’s tokenized real estate, fractional art, or investment-grade cars, one thing is clear: the wealth-building future is tangible.
