As real-world assets move on-chain, Guida is being built to trade them with an agent that genuinely understands them. > Tokenized real-world assets are on the [Roadmap](/guida-docs/reference/roadmap.md), not in the current release. This page explains the movement and how Guida is designed to meet it. ## What is a "real-world asset" (RWA)? A **real-world asset**, in crypto terms, is a traditional asset — a stock, a bond, a commodity like gold or oil, even a currency pair — represented as a token on a blockchain. **Tokenization** is the process of creating that on-chain representation, whose value tracks the underlying asset. The appeal is significant: * **24/7 trading.** A tokenized stock can trade nights and weekends, even when the traditional stock market is closed. * **Global access.** Anyone with a wallet, subject to local rules, can potentially access assets that were once hard to reach. * **Composability.** On-chain assets can plug into other on-chain services — a property traditional brokerage positions simply don't have. ## This is happening now Tokenized real-world assets have moved from theory to a fast-growing market. Major financial and crypto platforms are bringing tokenized stocks, funds, and commodities on-chain, and purpose-built networks are emerging specifically to host real-world assets that trade around the clock. The direction of travel is clear: more assets, on-chain, always open. That's the world Guida is built for. ## Why a crypto bot can't just "point at a stock" Here's the crucial insight behind Guida's design: **a tokenized stock is not a memecoin, and it shouldn't be traded like one.** Generic crypto trading tools read signals like social hype and on-chain wallet activity. Those signals are meaningless for a tokenized share of a company. A stock's behavior is shaped by fundamentally different forces: * **Market hours.** A tokenized stock trades 24/7, but the underlying company's shares trade only during market hours. That creates distinctive behavior when the traditional market is closed versus open. * **Corporate events.** Earnings, dividends, and splits move stocks in ways that have no crypto equivalent. * **A real-world anchor.** A tokenized stock's value is tethered to an actual, external reference — its underlying share — in a way most crypto assets are not. A tool that ignores all of this has the *look* of a smart product with none of the actual understanding. Guida is being built to close exactly that gap. ## How Guida is designed to trade RWAs Guida's approach to tokenized real-world assets centers on **understanding what it's trading**: * **Market-aware logic** — accounting for how a tokenized asset behaves when its traditional market is open versus closed. * **Event-awareness** — recognizing that scheduled real-world events change an asset's behavior and risk. * **Honest testing** — bringing the same rigorous backtesting and paper-trading discipline to RWAs, adapted to how these assets actually trade. The result we're building toward: a single agent that can run a disciplined strategy across both crypto and tokenized real-world assets, speaking each one's language rather than forcing them all into a crypto-shaped mold. ## The vision Imagine describing a strategy like: > *"Accumulate a basket of tokenized tech stocks on weekly dips, take profit in stages, and stay within my risk limits — running 24/7, even when Wall Street is closed."* That's the future Guida is being built for: professional-grade, automated strategy across the full, emerging universe of on-chain assets — accessible to anyone who can describe what they want. *** **Related:** [Roadmap](/guida-docs/reference/roadmap.md) · [Crypto](/guida-docs/assets/crypto.md) · [Strategies](/guida-docs/core-concepts/strategies.md) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://guida-2.gitbook.io/guida-docs/assets/tokenized-rwa.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
