Global value locked in real-world-asset tokens has broken through $12.9 billion, as AInvest tracks a 3.2 percent rise over the past month with BlackRock BUIDL, Ethena USDtb and Ondo Finance still leading the field. The dashboard also counts $78 million in weekly protocol fees, hinting that on-chain treasuries and bond funds are no longer niche assets.
Fresh data from an independent sector report shows the milestone follows a 65 percent jump since January, driven by tokenized Treasuries and newer real-estate pools. Analysts there note that Ondo now captures more than a third of all inflows thanks to its short-duration bond products, while Franklin Templeton’s on-chain money-market fund keeps traditional giants in the race.
“Asset tokenization has decisively transitioned from pilots to scaled adoption,” said Jamie Crawley, markets reporter at CoinDesk, after reviewing the latest numbers. He added that institutions favour tokens because settlement is instant yet rules can be coded in place.
A separate latest study finds the broader market has grown almost five-fold in three years and could hit $30 trillion by 2034 if regulators give clearer guidance on custody and tax. The report warns, however, that uneven disclosure standards still shadow newer issuers and could slow further growth.
For now, the new high cements RWAs as one of the fastest-growing corners of crypto. If monthly inflows hold near three percent, the sector could pass $15 billion before year-end, turning tokenized bonds, funds and property into a fixture of mainstream portfolios rather than an experiment on the edge of finance.
