AI中文摘要:
我们提供了对真实世界资产(RWA)代币化的介绍,并建立了两个经济模型,将这个新兴市场与经典金融理论联系起来。为了寻求RWA代币化的理论,我们根据基础资产的角色对RWA代币化进行分类,区分了标准RWA代币化、稳定币和数字资产国债(DATs)。我们的第一个模型将代币化与信息不对称下的证券设计联系起来。持续的二级市场交易产生信息恢复,随着时间推移减少逆向选择成本,并影响发行价格和最优代币化设计。我们的第二个模型为DATs开发了一个动态公司金融框架,其中市场估值、资本市场融资和加密资产积累内生地相互作用。我们刻画了最优发行政策,并以\ exttt{Strategy}作为案例研究来说明该模型。我们讨论了一些未来研究的方向,为RWA市场的进一步理论和实证研究提供了起点。
英文摘要:
We provide an introduction to real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and develop two economic models connecting this emerging market to classical financial theory. In search for a theory of RWA tokenization, we classify RWA tokenization according to the role of the underlying asset, distinguishing standard RWA tokenization, stablecoins, and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs). Our first model connects tokenization with security design under asymmetric information. Continuous secondary-market trading generates information recovery, reducing adverse-selection costs over time and affecting both the issuance price and the optimal tokenization design. Our second model develops a dynamic corporate-finance framework for DATs, in which market valuation, capital-market financing, and crypto accumulation interact endogenously. We characterize the optimal issuance policy and illustrate the model using \texttt{Strategy} as a case study. A few directions for future research are discussed, providing a starting point for further theoretical and empirical study of RWA markets.
