According to Henri Arslanian, he released an educational segment explaining the differences between real‑world asset (RWA) tokens and utility tokens, with details available on his YouTube channel and the original announcement on X twitter.com/HenriArslanian/status/1955496497140867357 and bit.ly/4fgoLCG. For trading context, RWAs are tokenized claims on off‑chain assets where redemption, custody, and legal enforceability drive pricing and liquidity, as outlined by the BIS in its 2023 Annual Economic Report Chapter III bis.org/publ/arpdf/ar2023e3.htm. Utility tokens are defined in the EU’s MiCA (Regulation (EU) 2023/1114) as crypto‑assets intended to provide access to a good or service supplied by the issuer, which affects disclosure and listing obligations in the EU, shaping liquidity and compliance costs eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/reg/2023/1114/oj. A live RWA example for yield is BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) launched on Ethereum (ETH), which provides on‑chain distribution from cash equivalents and U.S. Treasury assets, highlighting how RWA yields reflect off‑chain money‑market rates BlackRock corporate newsroom, March 2024. In contrast, utility tokens may be deemed securities in the U.S. if marketed with an expectation of profit from the efforts of others, per the SEC’s digital asset framework, which elevates regulatory and listing risk for traders sec.gov/corpfin/framework-investment-contract-analysis-digital-assets. As a practical trading takeaway, front‑end U.S. Treasury yields directly influence on‑chain RWA money‑market returns, so monitoring daily Treasury rates can inform expected tokenized‑yield income home.treasury.gov/resource-center/data-chart-center/interest-rates/daily-treasury-rates.
