Asset Discovery: How to Find and Research the RWAs Available for Trading
Exploring and understanding the Real-World Assets (RWAs) on RWAX is crucial for making informed trading decisions. Here’s how you can navigate through asset discovery and conduct thorough research:
Step 1: Navigating the Asset Catalog
Access the Marketplace
- From the main dashboard, look for options like ‘Market’, ‘Assets’, or ‘Discover’. This is where you’ll find the full range of RWAs available for trading.
Filter and Search
- Filters: Narrow down assets by category (e.g., Real Estate, Commodities, Stablecoins), location, or performance metrics.
- Search: Use the search function if you have a specific asset in mind.
Asset Categories
- Real Estate: Properties in cities like New York, Miami, San Francisco, etc.
- Commodities: Gold (XAUT), Silver, Platinum, Copper, etc.
- Stablecoins: Including yield-bearing options like USDM.
- Others: Niche assets or tokenized versions of unique items may also be available.
Step 2: Detailed Asset Research
Asset Page Overview
When you click on an asset, you’ll typically see:
- Current Price: The latest trading price.
- Historical Data: Charts showing price movement over time.
- Asset Description: Detailed information about what the asset represents, its physical counterpart, or how it’s tokenized.
Research Tools and Metrics
Performance Metrics
- Price History: Use charts to analyze trends, volatility, and seasonal patterns.
- Market Cap: Understand the asset’s size in the market.
- Volume: High trading volume can indicate liquidity and interest.
Fundamentals
- For Real Estate: Look into property details like location, zoning, tenant occupancy, and yield potential.
- For Commodities: Check supply/demand forecasts, industrial use, and geopolitical factors affecting prices.
News and Analysis
- Some platforms provide or link to news, analyses, or expert opinions related to specific assets.
- External resources like commodity reports or real estate market analyses can offer deeper insights.
Tokenomics
- If the RWA is tokenized, understand the token structure, any yield, and how the token’s value is tied to the asset.
Step 3: Using RWAX’s Research Features
Education Section
- Some platforms offer learning materials or webinars about how to research assets.
AI Tools
- If available, leverage AI for sentiment analysis or predictive analytics regarding an asset’s future performance.
Community Insights
- Look for forums or social features where other traders might share their analysis or experience with particular RWAs.
Step 4: External Validation
Cross-Reference
- Don’t rely solely on platform-provided data. Check asset details against external databases or reports.
Regulatory Compliance
- Ensure the asset complies with legal standards where applicable, especially for real estate or financial instruments.
Market Sentiment
- Use social media, specialized forums, or news aggregators to gauge broader market sentiment.
Step 5: Portfolio Fit
Diversification
- How does adding this RWA fit into your existing portfolio? Does it diversify or concentrate your risk?
Risk Assessment
- Consider the volatility and liquidity of the asset in line with your risk tolerance.
Step 6: Continuous Monitoring
Set Alerts
- Use RWAX’s notification system to get alerts on price changes, news, or when the asset hits certain thresholds you’re interested in.
Regular Reviews
- Markets and underlying asset values can change; regular reassessment is key.
Final Considerations
Due Diligence
- Never skip thorough research. The digital nature of RWAs doesn’t eliminate the need for traditional due diligence.
Stay Informed
- The world of RWAs can move fast, with new assets being added or existing ones changing in valuation due to real-world events.
Use Tools Wisely
- Leverage the tools RWAX provides but always validate with your own analysis or external sources.
