Ozean: The Home of Real-World Assets (RWAs)
Bringing DeFi to the World, and the World On-Chain
Ozean [German: /ˈoːʦeaːn/] — meaning “Ocean” in English — is the evolution of Clearpool. What began as a ‘pool’ has evolved into an ‘ocean’. Ozean represents a revolutionary, bigger vision: a purpose-driven ecosystem at the forefront of innovation, seamlessly integrating RWAs into DeFi.
Why RWAs in DeFi Matter
RWAs are the key to unlocking the next wave of growth for the crypto and DeFi sectors. Here’s why:
Stablecoins as Pioneers
Stablecoins, the largest RWA use case today, represent fiat currencies like the USD on the blockchain and have become the cornerstone of mass adoption. With a combined market cap exceeding $200 billion, they exemplify the utility and bridge real-world value with DeFi, proving tokenization works.
Trillions of Capital Inflows
RWAs unlock the next phase of growth for DeFi and crypto by bringing trillions of capital on-chain. Tokenized bonds, stocks, securities, credit, real estate, and more are transforming finance in a “tokenize everything” movement championed by Larry Fink and BlackRock, with experts predicting the market could grow to $16 trillion within five years.
Fractional Ownership
Tokenization further amplifies liquidity on-chain by breaking down traditionally illiquid assets into smaller, accessible units, allowing a broader range of investors to participate in institutional-grade opportunities. This increased accessibility not only unlocks liquidity but also expands market depth, making RWAs a foundational asset class in DeFi.
Ecosystem-Wide Growth
More capital on-chain brought by RWAs introduces long-term capital and stability beyond crypto-native assets. Tokenized RWAs diversify the asset base, unlock deeper liquidity, enhance yield opportunities, and attract a broader range of participants This fosters education, credibility, and innovation, benefiting and helping the entire crypto industry grow.
The Challenge: Bridging Two Worlds
Despite the massive potential, RWAs are stuck between two worlds:
Crypto Enthusiasts’ Hesitation Toward RWAs
RWAs promise efficiency, accessibility, and liquidity, but these benefits haven’t been fully realized. Challenges like limited liquidity, fragmented legal frameworks, and long lock-up periods make RWAs less appealing to crypto users accustomed to fluid markets.
Traditional Capital’s Reluctance Toward DeFi
Traditional investors are drawn to DeFi’s high yields but are often deterred by onboarding complexities, unfamiliarity, and compliance hurdles.
Without a seamless bridge, the tokenization and adoption of RWAs remain largely untapped — leaving trillions in value sidelined. Ozean solves this.
