- The total RWA market value surpassed $25 billion for the first time.
- Assets such as private credit and U.S. Treasury debt are leading the pack.
- Ethereum continues to dominate with $7.73 billion in total RWA value, holding a 58.15% market share.
The global market for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization has officially surpassed $25 billion in total value, according to data from RWA.xyz. This marks a 6.34% increase over the past 30 days.
Notably, the data shows that there are over 309,000 asset holders, representing a 72.83% rise compared to the previous month, and 250 registered issuers. This surge is occurring amid the broader adoption of blockchain technology for traditional financial instruments, which range from government bonds and private credit to real estate and institutional funds.
Tokenized Real-World Assets Gain Momentum
Over the last 18 months, on-chain RWA adoption has accelerated sharply. Assets such as private credit ($14.9B) and U.S. Treasury debt ($7.5B) are leading the pack. Other notable categories include commodities ($1.6B), institutional alternative funds ($688.3M), corporate bonds, stocks, and non-U.S. government debt.
The rapid rise in RWA activity is also visible on the network level. Ethereum continues to dominate with $7.73 billion in total RWA value, holding a 58.15% market share.
However, newer ecosystems like zkSync Era ($2.27B), Aptos ($532.4M), and Solana ($517.7M) are quickly gaining ground, buoyed by double-digit monthly growth. Notably, Plume, a relatively new entrant, recorded a 73.09% growth in just 30 days.
Since early 2023, the RWA market has expanded from under $3 billion to today’s record levels, with a wide variety of asset classes now being represented on-chain.

Supporting the RWA boom is the parallel growth of the stablecoin ecosystem, which now holds $243.87 billion in value on-chain. Over 171 million users currently hold stablecoins, according to RWA.xyz, up 2.45% from last month.
New Entrants Signal Expanding Use Cases
The rising trend in RWA tokenization has encouraged more platforms to explore niche asset types. On July 1, YieldNest announced its upcoming product, $ynRWAx, which will tokenize real estate, loans, and other off-chain assets. It will operate under YieldNest’s MAX LRT (Liquid Restaking Token) infrastructure.
The platform states that the ynRWAx token will offer predictable, auto-compounded yields, real-time transparency, and 24/7 AI-based security. By linking verified real-world assets with DeFi tools, the token aims to enhance liquidity and improve access to traditionally illiquid investments, such as property.
Notably, in Dubai, a startup tokenized a $477,000 villa and sold it within minutes. Prypco Mint, licensed by Dubai’s VARA, sold a Dh1.75 million tokenized villa in under five minutes to 169 investors from 40 nationalities.
