RWA Crypto Explosion: $29B Tokenized After Stunning 11% Weekly Surge

Real-world assets just rewrote the crypto rulebook—again.

The tokenization tidal wave isn't just coming; it's crashing through traditional finance's defenses. $29 billion in assets now live on-chain after an explosive 11% weekly surge that left legacy systems scrambling.

Why Wall Street can't keep up

Traditional finance moves at glacial speed while blockchain operates at light speed. This surge proves institutions finally understand that tokenization isn't a niche play—it's the future of asset liquidity.

The cynical take? Banks will spend millions on 'innovation committees' while DeFi just keeps building. Again.

This isn't just growth—it's a fundamental shift in how the world thinks about value. And traditional finance? They're still trying to figure out their login passwords.

In brief

• RWA tokens reach 76 billion dollars, marking crypto’s entry into real finance.
• Ethereum and BlackRock become the engines of a massive tokenization driven by global institutional adoption.

Crypto and real assets: a market in full mutation

Since January, the onchain value of RWA cryptos has. The majority of tokenized assets consists of:

• private credit (50%);
• US Treasury bonds (25%).

The rest is distributed among:

• stocks;
• commodities;
• bonds;
• alternative funds.

Including stablecoins, the overall value rises to 307 billion dollars.

The interest in RWAs reflects a strategic turning point. It indeed shows that crypto is no longer just for speculation. It becomes. Interoperability, permanent liquidity, and transparency attract both fintechs and traditional banks.

Ethereum leading, Layer 2 accelerates

According to the data, more than 75% of tokenized assets circulate on ethereum and its Layer 2 extensions. The public blockchain is indeed attractive due to its technical robustness and mature ecosystem. Crypto projects likepilot this rise with institution-focused solutions.

BlackRock, the world’s number one asset manager, confirms this trend. After the successful launch of its BUIDL fund on Ethereum, it now plans to tokenize its ETFs. An approach aligned with the vision of its CEO Larry Fink, who foresees.

Beyond the numbers, the current dynamic opens the way to a new global exchange standard. Crypto is entering a phase of DEEP integration, at the crossroads of public finance and private markets. The coming years could therefore redefine the very foundations of the global financial system. For some, crypto-assets already threaten global stability.
