Kadena, a prominent public L1 blockchain utilizing Chainweb architecture for DeFi protocol deployment, RWA tokenization, and AI-led application integration, has recently released a comprehensive report analyzing RWA tokenization standards. The report identifies ERC-3643 as the leading compliance-ready standard for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
Moreover, the report underscores the critical need for efficient and compliance-ready protocols as financial institutions increasingly adopt blockchain technology for asset tokenization.
ERC-3643 Emerges as Top Compliance-Ready Standard for Compliant RWA Tokenization, According to Kadena Report
Kadena’s report sheds light on a shift away from traditional standards like ERC-721 and ERC-20, which lack the necessary compliance features required by institutions. As a result, the institutional players are turning to the ERC-3643 standard for RWA tokenization. This standard offers built-in AML/KYC checks, programmable compliance, jurisdictional controls, and investor accreditation, making it the preferred choice for compliant tokenization of real-world assets.
The report highlights the widespread adoption of ERC-3643, contributing to over $32 billion in tokenized assets. Kadena anticipates the sector of tokenized assets to reach a range of $2 trillion to $11 trillion by 2030, primarily driven by institutions embracing compliance-first infrastructure. Stuart Popejoy, the Founder of Kadena, emphasizes the significance of compliance in institutional adoption and the pivotal role of standards such as ERC-3643.
Kadena Mirrors ERC-3643 in New RWA Token Standard Backed by $25M
In addition to endorsing ERC-3643, Kadena is developing its own Real-World Assets (RWA) token standard using parallel-chain architecture and Pact smart contract language. Supported by a substantial $25 million fund, this token standard prioritizes security and scalability. Furthermore, the new standard mirrors the compliance capabilities of ERC-3643, with the real estate fund “CurveBlock” already adopting it.
Kadena’s report underscores the importance of compliance-ready standards in the RWA tokenization space. With institutions flocking to this sector and prioritizing compliance for secure operations, the report concludes that compliance-led standards are essential for shaping the future of institutional finance on the blockchain.

To delve deeper into the report and gain insights into Kadena’s perspective, we spoke with Annelise Osborne, the Chief Business Officer at Kadena. Annelise Osborne elaborated on the growing role of ERC-3643 in RWA tokenization, addressing core aspects such as compliance, adoption, and tokenization efforts at Kadena.
In summary, Kadena’s efforts in promoting compliance-ready standards like ERC-3643 are crucial for bridging institutional giants to RWA tokenization. By focusing on regulatory clarity, education, and interoperability, Kadena aims to propel the RWA tokenization market value to new heights by 2030. The future of tokenization holds immense potential for revolutionizing capital markets and enhancing efficiency across financial ecosystems.
