Tokenised real-world assets stay strong despite DeFi slowdown as use expands

Deposits in tokenised real-world assets (RWA) rose to $7.4 billion in the second quarter of 2026, more than tripling from a year earlier, despite a broader slowdown in decentralised finance, a report said. Over the same period, total DeFi deposits fell about 15 percent, while RWA spot trading volume rose about 220 percent. CoinShares and Token Terminal said tokenised traditional assets are being used in on-chain finance as collateral, yield products and trading assets.
