RAAC - DeFi For RWA

The Crypto Conversation

Kevin Rusher is the Founder and CEO of RAAC, a protocol that enables real estate tokenization, lending, and borrowing. It connects DeFi with real-world assets (starting with real estate), allowing users to tokenize properties, use them as collateral, and participate in DeFi activities.

Why you should listen

RAAC (Regnum Aurum Acquisition Corp.) is a next-gen DeFi platform that fuses real-world assets (RWAs) like real estate and gold with blockchain technology. RAAC does this by tokenizing physical assets — for example, turning a property into a digital NFT (called Regna Minima) that comes with real legal rights. These tokenized assets can then be used as collateral for borrowing and lending stablecoins, giving asset owners a way to unlock liquidity without selling their holdings. It’s a smart idea, solving one of the biggest problems traditional finance still struggles with: making illiquid assets liquid.

RAAC has launched a $235 million testnet for a gold-backed RWA platform, signaling they’re serious about bridging mining, real-world commodities, and crypto. They’ve also joined Chainlink’s BUILD program, meaning they now have top-tier oracle support for securing real-time, tamper-proof data — essential when you’re tying digital assets to physical gold bars or apartment buildings. The platform appeals to institutions wanting yield, to DeFi users who want more real-world asset exposure, and to developers looking to build cool things with tokenized assets.
