Tokenization of Real-World Assets on the Rise

The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) saw a significant increase in the first half of 2025 due to clearer regulations, leading to wider adoption of blockchain-based financial products. Real-world asset tokenization involves minting financial and tangible assets on the blockchain, enhancing investor access and trading opportunities. The RWA market experienced a surge of over 260% in the first half of 2025, reaching a total valuation exceeding $23 billion from $8.6 billion at the start of the year. Tokenized private credit dominated the market with a 58% share, followed by tokenized US Treasury debt at 34%. The sector is expected to continue growing with increased participation from major industry players as regulatory frameworks become more defined. Regulatory developments in the broader crypto space, such as the SEC's guidance on cryptocurrency staking, are also benefiting the RWA market. Corporate adoption of Bitcoin is increasing, driven by long-term investment perspectives rather than short-term market dynamics. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
