Tokenized real-world asset market grows to $46B, reshaping finance
Summary
The tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market has expanded to $46.3 billion, with U.S. Treasuries now making up less than a third of this total. Two years ago, Treasuries led the market, but their dominance has waned as yield strategies, credit funds, and gold have emerged as significant contributors, representing $11.6 billion, $5.7 billion, and $5.1 billion respectively. This shift reflects broader trends in traditional finance, as more asset classes are being brought onto blockchain networks.
