CN regulators announced a new legal framework for real-world-asset (RWA) tokenisation on February 9, 2026, establishing a formal process for vetting the offshore issuance of tokens backed by China CN onshore assets. This development converts a previously grey-area activity into a regulated process, marking a milestone for the digital asset sector. By providing a clear legal structure, the guideline aims to transition the market from unregulated growth to a compliance-driven environment.
