Chainlink LINK: The Oracle Network Powering the Record-Breaking Surge in Tokenized Real-World Assets
Tokenized stocks and commodities surged to all-time highs in December, driven by a combination of expanding token supply and rising market prices. While still the smallest category within tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), this sector has demonstrated consistent growth in recent months.
Gold-backed tokens dominated the $3.7 billion tokenized commodities market, with Tether establishing the industry benchmark for gold reserves. Tokenized stocks reached $808 million, though tracking remains challenging due to multiple competing standards and platforms.
Ondo Finance and XStocks emerged as market leaders in 2025, reporting $368 million and $300 million in tokenized equity respectively. Notably absent from this boom: silver remains underrepresented among tokenized precious metals despite recent price rallies.
