The real endgame: Assets issued natively on-chain, not wrapped from TradFi.
RWAs & tokenization are just the first step.
As @samkazemian wrote - "settlement guarantees" only make sense for assets *without* issuers, like BTC or ETH.
But for RWAs, the guarantee depends on the issuer.
Example: $BUIDL on Ethereum is just a subset of BlackRock's liabilities.
If Ethereum goes down, BlackRock decides what happens next, because the real record sits off-chain, in TradFi.
But when assets are **natively issued on-chain**, the game changes:
- Issuers like BlackRock are now exposed to network risk.
- They’re incentivized to hold & stake ETH, SOL, etc.
- They need the chain to stay online and censorship-resistant.
Republic’s tokenization is just the first example of this future.
