Real-World Asset Tokenization Grows: What Investors Need to Know

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Real-world assets (RWA) that are tokenized have begun to emerge as a significant development within the crypto asset industry.

Through tokenization, assets such as global stocks, indexes, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and commodities are represented as digital assets accessible on-chain.

On Friday (9/18/2026), PT Pintu Kemana Saja (PINTU) announced an enhanced collaboration with Ondo Finance to expand access to tokenized assets for Indonesian investors.

PINTU's President Director, Andy Putra, stated that the demand for diverse digital asset options continues to grow alongside the maturing crypto ecosystem in Indonesia.

“RWA open the door for Indonesian investors to gain exposure to world-class assets—from global stocks, indexes to commodities—that can be acquired fractionally and affordably, without having to leave a regulated ecosystem,” Andy said in a press release on Saturday (9/19/2026).

The available tokenized assets cover several categories. For stocks, examples include shares of global companies such as Apple and NVIDIA.

In addition to individual stocks, there are ETFs and indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq.

For commodities, gold and silver are included. The offerings also encompass stablecoins.

These assets are denominated in rupiah, allowing investors to transact using the local currency. PINTU mentioned that investors can purchase fractional ownership, with a minimum transaction starting at Rp 11,000.

Moreover, these tokenized assets can be traded 24 hours a day, without restrictions tied to conventional stock exchange trading hours.

PINTU noted that the number of Ondo’s tokenized assets listed on its platform has grown from four tokens in December 2025 to nearly 50 tokens.

Andy said the goal is to expand this number to hundreds of tokenized assets in 2026.

“With this collaboration with Ondo Finance, PINTU targets to list hundreds of Ondo’s tokenized assets by the end of 2026. This commitment is part of PINTU’s long-term vision to develop a comprehensive marketplace for tokenized stocks and RWAs for Indonesian investors,” Andy explained.

The growth of tokenized real-world assets is not limited to Indonesia.

According to materials released by PINTU, the value of RWA on-chain assets excluding stablecoins has grown approximately fourfold over the past year.
