Tokenized real-world assets expanded sharply across blockchain networks over the past month, led by Robinhood Chain, according to data from the RWA Foundation. The network’s tokenized asset value climbed to $323.7 million, marking an 11,416.2% increase over the past 30 days.
Larger blockchain networks also posted steady growth. Avalanche’s RWA value rose 22.6% to $2.5 billion, while BNB Chain increased 16.5% to $9.2 billion as institutional adoption continued to expand.
Other blockchain networks also posted gains, according to RWA Foundation data. Tempo, Monad and Plume recorded strong monthly growth, while Cardano’s tokenized real-world asset value increased 23.1% to $55.3 million. Sonic Labs, Fraxtal and TON also expanded, with monthly gains ranging from 6.4% to 22.1%.
Ethereum remained the largest blockchain for tokenized RWA, with more than $17 billion in onchain value. The number of RWA holders climbed to 1.09 million from about 375,000 a year earlier, while tokenized stocks reached a record $9 billion in transfer volume in June.
Growth was also evident in tokenized Treasuries. Avalanche’s tokenized US Treasury assets rose 68% over the past 30 days to $842 million, while Robinhood Chain surpassed 244,000 RWA holders.
Growth in tokenized real-world assets is also spreading to decentralized trading platforms. On Hyperliquid, RWA markets became the exchange’s largest trading category for the first time.
RWA-linked contracts generated $25.1 billion in trading volume between July 13 and July 19, accounting for 52% of Hyperliquid’s total weekly volume of $48.2 billion. Tokenized stocks, indexes and commodities attracted more trading activity than all other asset categories combined, while individual equities made up 61% of RWA trading volume.
ARK Invest Digital Assets Research Director Lorenzo Valente said the trend marks the start of a new phase for decentralized finance.”We are entering a new era for DeFi,” Valente said, adding that tokenized real-world assets could create new market leaders as adoption grows.
Circle co-founder Jeremy Allaire said the growth of tokenized RWA marks “a significant structural shift” for the cryptocurrency market.
“This is a major structural shift,” Allaire said, adding that crypto markets are moving beyond speculation toward infrastructure that supports broader financial markets.
The rapid growth of tokenized assets is increasing competition among blockchain networks and crypto exchanges as firms compete for institutional users. Whether that momentum continues will depend on liquidity, regulatory clarity and demand for tokenized versions of traditional financial assets.
