Summary

OKX Wallet has added self-custodial trading for tokenized real-world assets, allowing users to buy and hold RWAs (tokenized real-world assets) onchain while retaining control of their private keys. The update extends self-custody, a model in which users hold their own credentials rather than relying on a centralized platform, to a segment of crypto focused on bringing traditional assets onto blockchain rails.
