Real-World Asset Tokenization Market Crosses $25 Billion Milestone

• The global RWA tokenization market hit $25 billion, with 309,000 asset holders showing 72.83% monthly growth. 

• Private credit leads at $14.9 billion, while Ethereum dominates with 58.15% market share, and newer chains like zkSync Era are gaining ground. 

• Dubai sold a tokenized $477,000 villa in minutes, and stablecoins now hold $243.87 billion, supporting the RWA boom.

The global real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market has reached a significant milestone, surpassing $25 billion in total value according to RWA.xyz data. This achievement represents a 6.34% increase over the past 30 days, signaling strong momentum in the blockchain-based asset tokenization sector.

The market now supports over 309,000 asset holders, marking a substantial 72.83% rise compared to the previous month. Currently, 250 registered issuers actively participate in the space, demonstrating widespread adoption of blockchain technology for traditional financial instruments.

Private Credit and Treasury Debt Lead Market Growth

Private credit dominates the RWA landscape with $14.9 billion in tokenized assets, while U.S. Treasury debt follows with $7.5 billion. Other significant categories include commodities at $1.6 billion and institutional alternative funds totaling $688.3 million. Corporate bonds, stocks, and non-U.S. government debt round out the asset class distribution.

The rapid expansion reflects an 18-month acceleration in on-chain RWA adoption. Since early 2023, the market has grown from under $3 billion to record levels, encompassing diverse asset classes previously unavailable on blockchain platforms.

Ethereum maintains market leadership with $7.73 billion in RWA value, capturing 58.15% of the total market share. However, emerging ecosystems are gaining traction rapidly. zkSync Era holds $2.27 billion, while Aptos and Solana manage $532.4 million and $517.7 million, respectively. Plume, a newer entrant, recorded an impressive 73.09% growth within 30 days.

Stablecoin Ecosystem Supports RWA Expansion

The parallel growth of stablecoins has created essential infrastructure for RWA tokenization. The stablecoin ecosystem now holds $243.87 billion in on-chain value, with over 171 million users holding stablecoins. This represents a 2.45% increase from the previous month, providing liquidity and stability for RWA transactions.

Recent market developments include YieldNest’s July 1 announcement of $ynRWAx, a new token designed to tokenize real estate, loans, and other off-chain assets. The platform will operate under YieldNest’s MAX LRT infrastructure, offering predictable yields and real-time transparency.

Dubai’s real estate tokenization market has demonstrated practical applications of RWA technology. Prypco Mint, licensed by Dubai’s VARA, successfully sold a tokenized Dh1.75 million villa in under five minutes to 169 investors from 40 nationalities. Currently restricted to Emirates ID holders, the platform plans international expansion with two additional properties launching July 15.

The convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology continues to drive institutional interest in RWA tokenization. As regulatory frameworks develop and technology matures, the market appears positioned for sustained growth across multiple asset classes and geographic regions.
