The latest report from Binance Research shows that the on-chain tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) has grown by 589% since the beginning of 2025, now exceeding $31.4 billion, further expanding from $21.5 billion at the beginning of 2026, and growing approximately fivefold since the beginning of 2025. The main drivers of growth come from bonds and money market funds, which together added about $6.5 billion, an increase of 83%. Tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds, money market funds, gold-backed assets, and tokenized listed stocks are the main driving forces behind this round of growth. Although the base for tokenized stocks is relatively small, the growth rate is particularly remarkable, indicating that issuing institutions are testing whether blockchain tracks can support the circulation of a broader range of traditional securities.Analysts point out that this round of RWA growth differs from the previous narrative of the crypto market dominated by speculative trading or DeFi yields, and is more closely linked to traditional financial infrastructure, focusing on institutional needs such as settlement efficiency, collateral liquidity, and programmable asset services. However, compared to the global bond, money fund, and stock markets, which are worth tens of trillions of dollars, $31.4 billion is still a drop in the bucket. The report indicates that the key to the next phase of growth lies not in the issuance of tokens themselves, but in the improvement of liquidity depth, legal enforceability, custody standards, and access to secondary markets. The regulatory framework remains the core bottleneck restricting further expansion of scale.

According to the latest weekly report from Gate Ventures, market risk appetite continues to be under pressure, and the overall cryptocurrency market is experiencing a pullback. BTC fell 3.7% over the week, ETH fell 1.2%, and the total market capitalization of cryptocurrencies declined by 3.1%, with the Fear and Greed Index remaining in the "Extreme Fear" range. In terms of capital flow, digital asset investment products continued to see net outflows, with the spot BTC ETF experiencing a net outflow of $226.8 million in a single week, and the spot ETH ETF seeing a net outflow of $10 million, reflecting ongoing market hesitation. Meanwhile, STRC under Strategy has traded below par for the fifth consecutive week, and the market continues to pay attention to its subsequent capital operations and yield adjustment space.In terms of industry development, stablecoin payments and RWA infrastructure construction are being continuously advanced. Trace Finance has completed $32 million in financing to expand its compliant stablecoin payment network and cross-border settlement infrastructure; Philippine regulators have released positive signals supporting the development of RWA tokenization, with related explorations further deepening. In terms of investment and financing, four financing transactions were disclosed last week, with a total financing amount of $39.5 million, of which the DeFi sector accounted for the majority. Overall, although the market is still in a correction phase in the short term, stablecoin payments, RWA, and underlying infrastructure construction remain important directions of ongoing industry focus.

Castle Labs released an RWA industry report stating that the on-chain tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) has reached $28.2 billion, an increase of about 500% compared to early 2025, with a peak of $31.8 billion.Currently, tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds and money market funds remain the largest category, with a scale of about $17 billion, accounting for nearly 60% of the entire RWA market, among which BlackRock BUIDL and Hashnote USYC have both surpassed $3 billion in scale. The report also points out that tokenized stocks have become one of the fastest-growing RWA sub-sectors, growing over 170% this year, significantly higher than the approximately 60% growth rate of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds.Castle Labs believes that the expansion of stablecoins, the entry of institutional funds, and the advancement of regulatory frameworks such as CLARITY and MiCA are driving the continuous on-chain migration of traditional financial assets. However, the current industry's biggest bottleneck has shifted from asset issuance to redemption mechanisms and DeFi composability. Currently, of the approximately $28.2 billion in on-chain RWA, only about $3 billion has entered DeFi, with a penetration rate of about 10%.

Binance founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ) participated in an exclusive interview on the Galaxy Brains podcast with Galaxy Research Director Alex Thorn. CZ stated that he is no longer operating the trading platform, allowing him more time to communicate with developers, and he is excited about some new features of BNB Chain. He mentioned that BNB Chain is developing the next version, which will be faster, cheaper, and include more privacy controls.CZ also advised blockchain developers not to make major upgrades during a bull market, but to push forward significant updates during the quieter times of a bear market. CZ said that he was skeptical about RWA (Real World Assets) about a year to a year and a half ago, uncertain whether the related assets would be traded or could develop. However, the speed of RWA's development surprised him, as stablecoins, oil futures, AI stocks, and others have gained good acceptance in the crypto community. This indicates that many people globally have been looking for access to these assets.Crypto should not be seen as an independent industry, but rather as a new technological tool that makes financial transactions faster, cheaper, and more transparent. He believes that traditional financial institutions can use blockchain, and crypto companies can also provide services similar to traditional finance, such as loans, savings, stock trading, remittances, and payments. In the future, there should not be a clear distinction between traditional finance and crypto, but rather a more globalized, faster, and lower-cost financial industry.
