Correct Answer

Option A — A

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Option A.

Key Points

  • statements 1, 2 and 3 are all correct.
  • Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenisation issues blockchain-based digital tokens that represent ownership or a share in a physical or financial asset (real estate, bonds, gold, art).
  • Statement 1 is correct: it is precisely the process of converting real-world assets into digital tokens on a blockchain.
  • Statement 2 is correct: tokenised assets can be traded 24×7 on digital platforms and in fractional units, lowering the ticket size and promoting financial inclusion.
  • Statement 3 is correct: fractionalisation opens access to high-value, high-growth assets (like commercial property or infrastructure) that individual investors could not otherwise afford whole.
  • benefits include liquidity for traditionally illiquid assets, fractional ownership and transparent on-chain records; risks include regulatory and valuation uncertainty.

Exam Tip

  • the recurring themes examiners test for tokenisation are fractional ownership, 24×7 liquidity and financial inclusion — all three appear here.
