On the Bitcoin side it already exists, in two flavors:
- Liquid (Bitcoin sidechain run by a federation): Blockstream's own page says it enables "the issuance of security tokens and other digital assets" and pitches it for stablecoins and security tokens. Bitfinex Securities issues tokenised securities and is licensed in Kazakhstan and El Salvador. Trade-off: you trust the federation.
- Taproot Assets (Lightning Labs): assets ride inside normal bitcoin transactions and can move over Lightning channels alongside BTC, with atomic swaps to BTC. Mostly stablecoins so far, not much real-world stuff yet.
Monero has no native way to issue a token at all, so an RWA there would need a different chain or a fork. Privacy is great for money, but most RWA issuers need to know who holds the asset, which is why the work is happening on Bitcoin L2s.
