RWA (Real-World Assets) was one of the hottest narratives last year. And early movers like Ondo made massive gains. But if you think you’ve missed out, think again.
This sector is just getting started, and the real opportunity lies ahead. Our team has been tracking the next wave of RWA projects that could deliver even bigger returns.
If you’re looking to position yourself early in the RWA boom, these are the top three coins you need to have on your radar.
Clearpool ($CPOOL)
Clearpool is making moves as the first decentralized credit marketplace in the RWA sector. It’s different from your usual DeFi lending protocols because it focuses on undercollateralized lending for institutions. Think of it as the missing piece for bringing TradFi credit markets on-chain.

Liquidity. Accessibility. Diversification.

Here’s Why It’s a Big Deal:
-
Clearpool’s new blockchain, Ozean, is built to optimize RWA lending. The testnet, Poseidon, is live, and the mainnet launch is around the corner.
-
Port, their RWA exchange-traded pool, lets investors get ETF-style exposure to RWAs with DeFi flexibility.
-
They secured a Major Payment Institution (MPI) License from Singapore’s MAS, making them a regulated gateway for TradFi to enter DeFi.
-
The RWA market is projected to hit $30T by 2030, and Clearpool is positioning itself at the forefront.

Key partnerships: $100M+ in private credit deals, including collaborations with BlackRock-backed Mountain USDM.
-
First DeFi protocol to secure a $50M deal with Jane Street. That’s a huge validation from TradFi.
With strong regulations, growing institutional interest, and a solid DeFi credit system, CPOOL might be a hidden gem in RWA.

Ondo Finance ($ONDO)
Ondo Finance is a leader in the RWA pack. It offers tokenized U.S. Treasuries and yield-bearing stablecoins. Ondo’s growth has been explosive over the last couple of months, including reaching a new ATH last December.
Ondo’s products “climbed to just shy of $1B combined, a 53% surge in market value over the past month,” reports @CoinDesk.
“We believe the growth of the tokenized treasury market cap during the recent crypto downturn reflects a flight to quality,” explained Brian Choe, head of… https://t.co/lytTfAqGzW
— Ondo Finance (@OndoFinance) March 13, 2025
Ondo offers a safe way for institutions to get involved in tokenized assets. And we believe it is one of the RWA coins you should hold for the future.
Ondo Has Institutional Backing and Strategic Partnerships
One of the biggest reasons to hold $ONDO for the long run is its strong institutional appeal. BlackRock backs the project. And Ondo has secured key partnerships with Google, Mastercard, and Ripple.

They’re also in company with World Liberty Finance (WLF), an organization with ties to the Trump family. WLF invested directly in $ONDO. Institutional investors don’t just back anything. This signals real confidence in Ondo’s potential.
Ondo is at the Center of a Massive Growth in a Booming Sector
The RWA market is expanding really fast, and Ondo is at the center of it. The total value of tokenized U.S. Treasuries has now crossed $4 billion. And Ondo’s products have been a key driver of this growth.

Ondo’s TVL has also surpassed $1 billion. That reflects serious demand. Here’s a quick look at their two main products:
-
OUSG (Institutional-Grade Tokenized Treasuries): +$165M (+61%) in 30 days
-
USDY (DeFi-Focused Yield-Bearing Stablecoin): +$201M (+51%) in 30 days
These numbers show sustained demand and real-world use. Ondo isn’t just hype. It’s building long-term value.
New Developments to Watch
Ondo just launched Ondo Nexus to unlock instant liquidity for tokenized treasuries. They also introduced Ondo Chain, a dedicated Layer 1 blockchain for RWAs.<

Why Now is a Good Entry Point
Many wish they had bought $ONDO before its ATH last December. It’s now back at 88 cents. With its adoption and momentum, that won’t last long.
As the market rebounds, $ONDO could realistically reach $4 and beyond. If you’re looking for a solid, institution-backed RWA play, Ondo is a top contender.
Plume ($PLUME)
Plume is doing something not many are doing. It’s building the first Layer 1 blockchain dedicated solely to RWAs. Most RWA projects build on Ethereum or general-purpose chains. Plume decided to go custom—for better compliance, scalability, and interoperability.
Plume is for the people.
Plume is built to bring the real world to the onchain community. It’s not about replicating TradFi onchain, it’s about revolutionizing the entire global financial market – but bottoms up and community first.
That’s why Plume is built with 180 partners… pic.twitter.com/c6rTnWCIL8
— Plume (@plumenetwork) February 4, 2025
Over 180+ projects are already building on Plume. And they’re backed by heavyweights like Brevan Howard, Haun, and Galaxy.
Why Plume Has the Edge
Being a U.S.-based project gives Plume another advantage. With growing pro-crypto vibes from political figures like Donald Trump, we may see regulatory clarity that drives institutional adoption of Plume’s infrastructure.
Strategic Partnerships and Tech
Plume SkyLink allows RWAs to integrate across 18+ chains, including Solana and Injective. That means seamless cross-chain yield distribution.
Today, we’re thrilled to announce @yzilabs‘s investment in Plume to further our mission of bringing the real world onchain.

Plume has also partnered with Agixbt to create AI-powered RWA agents, and teamed up with Stobox Company to improve tokenization.
Big Investment from YZi Labs
Plume just scored investment from YZi Labs—formerly Binance Labs. This boost will help Plume expand into emerging markets and onboard financial institutions.
Even Binance founder CZ weighed in, posting “Invest in the industry” in reaction to the news. $PLUME surged 17.74% in under 24 hours. It’s now just 18% from its ATH. Momentum is building—and now could be your moment.

Mantra ($OM)
The last on our list is Mantra.
If you’re looking for a strong RWA project to hold, Mantra should be on your radar. It’s one of the largest RWA projects by market cap. And despite recent controversy over its airdrop, its long-term potential remains strong.
What Does Mantra Do?
Mantra is focused on bringing real-world assets to the blockchain. It offers a regulated, institution-friendly platform for tokenizing assets. But unlike others, Mantra is accessible to both institutions and retail investors.
Beyond thrilled to share, we have successfully obtained the FIRST DeFi license from @varadubai
to operate as a Virtual Asset Exchange, and offer Broker-Dealer, Management and Investment Services.

It also operates its own Layer 1 blockchain—built specifically for RWAs. That means better performance, security, and long-term infrastructure.
Explosive Growth Potential
Mantra’s $OM token has shown solid price performance, better than the likes of Ondo. So $OM is one of the most lucrative RWA tokens to hold.
