2026.10.3 BitTiger Thought Journal

Been watching the 16-year-old documentary *Wall Street* produced by CCTV these past couple of days. Episode 8 talks about the risks that come with financial innovation. The 2008 subprime mortgage crisis was mainly caused by excessive risks from mortgage securitization. So, does the current buzz around RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization in the crypto space carry similar risks? But hey, before risks emerge, there needs to be a bubble first, right? Worrying about it now seems a bit premature Right now, the RWA market is still tiny—just a few hundred billion compared to the multi-trillion-dollar securitization market in 2008. Looking at it this way, it’s still super, super early. It’s entirely an incremental market, and it feels like RWA could be worth considering for future portfolio planning. My takeaway: Every time there’s financial innovation and new financial derivatives emerge, it brings a wave of wealth creation. It’s like a golden opportunity for ordinary people to achieve upward mobility in their lifetime ✊✊84900
