RWA market surges 589 percent amid broader crypto downturn
The market for real-world assets (RWA) is growing rapidly despite a broader slump in cryptocurrencies, helped by financial institutions joining and a wider range of assets being tokenised. Binance Research said the overall RWA market jumped 589 percent from early 2025 to June 2026, with tokenised equities rising 422 percent. Bonds and money market funds grew 83 percent. Tokenised precious metals also drew inflows early this year, while banks are moving to build tokenised deposit networks.
