Asset Type

Asset type describes the investment instrument. It is separate from asset class, which describes economic exposure, and tokenization structure, which describes the holder’s legal relationship to the investment. For example, an ETF can provide Treasury, commodity, or stock exposure, and a token referencing equity can provide a contractual claim rather than direct ownership of shares.

Types

The table below defines the asset types covered on this page, with their stored values in parentheses.

Type	Meaning
Bond (`BOND`)	A debt security under which an issuer owes payments to investors according to the instrument’s terms, such as interest and repayment of principal. This type describes the bond itself, not a fund that holds bonds.
Equity (`EQUITY`)	Shares representing an ownership interest in a company, including common and preferred shares. This classification also includes recognized equity depositary-receipt labels such as ADRs; it is not limited to ordinary common stock.
ETF (`ETF`)	Exchange-traded fund: a fund whose shares trade on an exchange and provide exposure to its investment holdings or strategy. ETFs generally have a creation/redemption mechanism through authorized participants. An ETF need not hold only equities.
ETP (`ETP`)	Exchange-traded product: a broader description of an exchange-traded investment product. In general financial terminology, ETFs are a subset of ETPs. In this data field, however, `ETF` and `ETP` are separate recorded values: `ETP` does not establish a particular fund or debt structure. Do not treat it as an umbrella total that already includes rows labeled `ETF`.
Portfolio (`PORTFOLIO`)	A basket of investments classified as a portfolio rather than as a single stock or an ETF. Current usage includes Ondo-native diversified portfolios, whose portfolio status comes from Ondo metadata. The type does not by itself establish the portfolio’s legal form or imply that every holding is an equity.
Closed end fund (`CLOSED_END_FUND`)	A pooled investment fund whose shares generally are not redeemable from the fund on demand. Listed closed-end fund shares trade between investors and can trade above or below net asset value. Exchange trading alone does not make a closed-end fund an ETF.
Mutual fund (`MUTUAL_FUND`)	A pooled investment fund whose investors generally subscribe or redeem at the fund’s calculated net asset value, rather than trading ETF shares on an exchange. This category also includes unit trusts. The label alone does not establish the fund’s specific legal form or redemption terms.

Reading exports

In an asset-list export, type is the type of the exported asset itself; pegged_asset_type is the type of its linked underlying asset. These fields can differ or be missing independently. The Stocks page’s Underlying Asset Type filter and Underlying Type grouping use the underlying’s classification. See the asset schema. Missing values are not an asset type. Asset-list CSV and Excel exports leave null type cells blank. Aggregate and time-series exports grouped by type label the null group None; this means the grouping field is unclassified, not that the token has no backing.

Relationship to CFI

Asset types are not full ISO 10962 CFI codes. The enrichment fields cfi_code_prefix and cfi_code_name describe locally inferred CFI categories or groups, such as CE for exchange-traded funds, E for equities, and C for collective investment vehicles. Those short prefixes are not official six-letter CFI assignments and do not establish that a full CFI code is available for an instrument. For general background, see the SEC’s guide to mutual funds and ETFs and closed-end fund definition. The recorded types above describe RWA.xyz data; consult the instrument’s own documentation for its specific rights and structure.
