RWAs grow 8% in 30 days as on-chain yield attracts

Real world assets (RWAs) are standing out in a shaky market. The RWA sector grew about 8% over the past 30 days, even as many other crypto areas remain under pressure. The article attributes the move to a shift toward on-chain issuance and settlement. Instead of relying heavily on off-chain infrastructure, newer RWAs are increasingly created and managed directly on-chain. This improves integration with DeFi, and supports better liquidity and accessibility. Key figures highlight the sector’s scale. Total RWAs have crossed $27 billion. “Non-Treasury” assets account for $15.8 billion, surpassing U.S. Treasuries and becoming the main growth driver. The mix now includes commodities, asset-backed credit, and specialty finance. Tokenized stocks have also reached around the $1 billion level. Adoption is expanding beyond Ethereum-centric narratives. On BNB Chain, RWAs reportedly reach an all-time high TVL of $3 billion, signaling broader utility and multi-asset market development. Overall, RWAs are evolving from primarily “safe” low-risk exposure into a more diversified, functional on-chain infrastructure theme tied to real yield and utility.
