$ETH dominates RWA tokenization with $23.3B out of $44.7B total market — more than half. $BNB Chain sits at $5.7B, zkSync Era at $3.3B. 32 chains competing now.
Ethereum's lead isn't surprising — liquidity, composability, institutional trust. But the fragmentation across 32 chains signals we're still early. No clear winner yet beyond $ETH's gravitational pull.
RWA narrative is mid-cycle fuel. It's not just hype — real capital is moving on-chain. As yields compress in TradFi and rates stabilize, tokenized treasuries, credit, and real estate become actual DeFi building blocks.
Rotation play: $ETH benefits most as the RWA base layer. $BNB and zkSync are worth watching for ecosystem bets, but liquidity concentrates where institutions already trust the rails.
If RWAs scale, $ETH becomes the settlement backbone. If they fragment, we get a messy multi-chain world with worse UX. Right now, bet on concentration, not dispersion.
