Crypto: The RWA Wave Surges with a Historic 94% Leap

Nothing seems to hinder the skyrocketing rise of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. And judging by the latest figures, the crypto market as a whole is feeling the impact strongly. The total value locked (TVL) of tokenized RWAs has reached a historic high of $17.1 billion, with a staggering 94% increase in just one year. A rebound that is accompanied by a booming awakening for crypto-assets linked to this sector.

Tokenized RWAs in Full Explosion

The numbers are in: the tokenization of real-world assets is no longer an emerging trend, but rather a powerful engine of the market. In just three months, the TVL of the sector jumped by $4 billion, representing a 26% increase.

This surge comes as several Wall Street giants, sensing the opportunity, place their bets on this market estimated at $30 trillion.

Proof of this enthusiasm, some tokens linked to RWAs have skyrocketed in value:

• Ondo Finance (ONDO): +27%, reaching $1.40;
• Chintai (CHEX): +38%, flirting with $0.60;
• Mantra (OM): +23%, above $6;
• Chainlink (LINK): +22%, surpassing $21;

This renewed interest in RWA tokenization could very well rearrange the cards. Pav Hundal, an analyst at Swyftx, points out:

“Nothing in this market is normal at the moment. This rebound opens up a whole new horizon for investors.”

While some are discovering the buffet of altcoins, others are already getting busy in the kitchen.

A Crypto Market Boosted by Tokenization

This fanfare awakening of RWAs isn’t happening in isolation. The crypto market as a whole benefits from it. In just 24 hours, the global capitalization of crypto-assets gained 7%. A surge notably driven by the announcement of a reprieve on tariffs between the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Behind this dynamic, clear signals: BlackRock’s entry into the arena and the arrival of a more favorable American regulatory framework. According to Xremlin,

“RWAs are the next big novelty for 2025. BlackRock’s entry and a pro-crypto government mean a massive increase.”

In other words, between institutional appetite and the alignment of political planets, tokenization is set to become an obvious choice.

It should also be noted: 70% of the on-chain value of RWAs is concentrated in private credit, followed by US government bonds (21%). A redistribution that clearly shows that these tokenized assets are no longer just a technological gadget, but a real financial lever.

Finally, this wave of optimism is even reaching the most skeptical. Eli Cohen from Centrifuge anticipates a relaxation of the Trump administration’s policies, paving the way for a broader expansion of the RWA market in 2024. One could say that the revolution is underway.

But this is just the beginning. Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise, warns that the alliance between AI and tokenization will transform financial markets as soon as 2025. The result? Small businesses, long excluded from traditional financial circuits, will finally have their chance to shine.
