Industry consensus : In mainstream RWA and digital asset issuance practices, the segregation of investor funds and operating funds has become a fundamental structure. Common practices include:

  • Funds enter an independent escrow account
  • Custodian banks or third-party payment institutions manage fund flows
  • Profits are distributed through an escrow account.
  • Multiple signatures or third-party approval mechanisms

Core consensus:
Custody of funds is an infrastructure for investor trust and risk isolation.

Reasons for its formation <br>This practice is mainly based on three points:
1 ) Preventing the risk of misappropriation of funds: separation of issuer and asset operator.
2 ) Strengthen investor protection and ensure the verifiability of fund usage.
3 ) Increase institutional participation. Institutional investors typically require custodian structures.

Significance of RWA's release

  • Establish a transparent funding pathway
  • Enhance the credibility of fundraising
  • Reduce moral hazard
  • Support for automated subsequent profit distribution
