RWA Utility Tokens, Stop Kidding Yourselves

The article, written by lawyer Shao Jiadian, critically examines the common claim by RWA (Real World Asset) token projects that their tokens are "utility tokens" rather than securities. The author argues that regulatory bodies globally do not classify assets based on their self-proclaimed labels but on their actual economic function and structure. The core argument is that most so-called "utility RWA tokens" involve users investing money into a common asset pool managed by the project, with the expectation of profits derived from the project's efforts (e.g., dividends, revenue sharing from assets like real estate or equipment). This structure meets the criteria of an "investment contract" and is therefore treated as a security in major jurisdictions like the U.S., EU, Switzerland, and Hong Kong. Two key legal cases are cited as evidence: 1. **DeFiMoney Market (DMM):** Its fixed-yield token and "governance" token were both deemed securities by the SEC because investors' profits came from a managed asset pool. 2. **Unicoin (2025):** An asset-backed token promising returns from real estate and equity was charged by the SEC as an unregistered securities offering and fraud. The author highlights an inherent conflict: utility tokens emphasize *use* and *consumption*, while RWA tokens are fundamentally linked to *assets* and *returns*. Any token offering profit-sharing, dividends, or redeemable cash flows will be viewed as a security by regulators. The conclusion is stark: projects are not avoiding securities laws out of ignorance but to circumvent the stricter requirements of a regulated securities offering. The only viable paths to avoid securities classification are: 1. Purely functional tokens with no profit expectation. 2. Private offerings strictly for accredited investors. 3. Operating under specific regimes like Dubai's VARA that regulate security-like tokens as virtual assets. Ultimately, any RWA token offered to the public that is tradable and promises returns will almost certainly be treated as a security. The choice for projects is not between utility and security labels, but between "long-term compliance" and "short-term gambling."

After the ARFC Proposal, Does Aave Still Have Long-Term Investment Value?

An ARFC governance proposal has sparked significant debate within the Aave community, focusing on the control of brand assets and revenue distribution. The proposal, initiated by a former Aave Labs CTO, calls for transferring control of key intangible assets—including domain names, social media accounts, and the Aave brand—to the Aave DAO. This follows concerns that revenue from front-end operations, such as fees from CoW Swap integration, was directed to Aave Labs without DAO approval, raising issues of transparency and value capture for AAVE token holders. Snapshot voting, held from December 23–26, 2025, showed 64.15% against the proposal, 32.85% abstaining, and only 3.01% in favor, reflecting deep community division. The voting timeline over the holiday also drew criticism for potentially limiting participation. A large whale sold 230k AAVE during this period, causing a 10% price drop, though this was seen as a short-term reaction to governance uncertainty rather than a loss of faith in Aave’s fundamentals. Aave remains a leading DeFi lending protocol with over $33B TVL and a 60% market share. Recent developments include the conclusion of an SEC investigation with no action, plans for Aave V4 with cross-chain liquidity, expansion into RWA (real-world assets) aiming for $1B in scale, and a push toward mobile-friendly savings applications. The proposal highlights ongoing tension between decentralized governance and centralized execution as Aave scales. How Aave resolves this governance challenge may impact its long-term competitiveness, especially compared to protocols like Uniswap, which has successfully aligned tokenomics with protocol revenue.
