Crypto is no longer just a testing ground for geeks passionate about decentralization. In 2025, it is a fully-fledged financial engine, and the latest wave? Tokenized real-world assets, or RWA (Real World Assets). Its market has simply exploded: +260% in six months. The sector, still marginal in 2024, now approaches 23 billion dollars. A boom driven by increasing regulatory clarity in the United States and a redefinition of the boundaries between traditional finance and blockchain.
In summary
RWAs explode: +260% in six months, driven by regulatory clarity.
Tokenized private credit becomes the star asset for investors.
Bitcoin and RWAs establish themselves as pillars of companies' financial strategies.
From the promise of Crypto and regulation: a dance in three times
For a long time, regulation was the Achilles' heel of crypto. Diffuse, wavering, often hostile. But in 2025, things change. The turn taken by the SEC at the end of May regarding staking, as well as the anticipation of the voting on the GENIUS law in the Senate, show a clear trend: crypto enters formality without losing its essence.
RWAs, although still considered securities, benefit from this dynamic. The sector remains cautious, but it advances, backed by better legal visibility. This evolution restores confidence to institutional investors, who demand above all operational and regulatory security.
In this context, the RWA market plays a bridging role between two worlds: that of traditional assets, anchored in their old habits, and that of blockchain, agile and programmed to innovate. A bridge that more and more companies are crossing, often driven by a very contemporary fear: corporate FOMO.
