265: Tokenizing Oil as a Security — Dave from OilXCoin on Regulated RWAs in Web3
Manage episode 488202210 series 3012250
What if your entry point to crypto wasn’t Bitcoin or ETH… but a security-backed token tied to real oil production?
In this episode, Dave from OilXCoin shares how his team is bridging the gap between traditional energy markets and Web3 by launching a fully regulated, oil-backed security token.
From upstream oil leases and production logistics to regulatory approvals, compliant secondary markets, and building for crypto newcomers — this episode is a real-world masterclass in how RWA tokenization works when done the hard way.
