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
