Explain how your project is different from others and will bring value to the RWA ecosystem on Arbitrum. \n\nI run CAC Research & Media, a tokenization focused research and media boutique. I write daily on LinkedIn about institutional tokenization adoption trends (https://www.linkedin.com/in/harvey-l-1357a418a/) and have a weekly newsletter focused on the space for over 4,000 tradifi-minded and digital-asset curious audience.
