Real-World Asset Tokens Stage a September Rally as Institutional Adoption Accelerates
Tokenized real-world assets are witnessing a dramatic resurgence, with the sector's market capitalization surging 19.4% this week to $64.6 billion. The momentum intensified with a 28% single-day gain as traditional finance giants like BNY Mellon and BlackRock deploy capital into blockchain-based asset representations.
BlackRock's BUIDL fund has crossed $2 billion in total value locked, signaling deepening institutional commitment to tokenization infrastructure. This institutional stampede is creating Ripple effects across RWA tokens - CHEX gained 10% with trading volume spiking 34% to $2.7 million, demonstrating organic buyer interest rather than artificial price movements.
The rally reveals a maturing market where traditional finance adoption drives crypto valuations rather than retail speculation. As more blue-chip institutions allocate to tokenized treasury products and funds, RWA tokens may establish themselves as the bridge between decentralized finance and global capital markets.
