Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) have just set fresh records. Over the past week, total value climbed to $29 billion excluding stablecoins and an incredible $307 billion including them. This surge shows how quickly tokenized assets are moving into mainstream finance and becoming part of the wider market structure.
The composition of these assets reveals what big players are betting on. Private credit now makes up more than 50% of tokenized RWAs, while U.S. Treasuries account for about 25%. This dominance suggests that tokenization is no longer limited to experimental projects—it’s reaching deep into the core of traditional finance where real capital flows.
Ethereum Is the Settlement Layer
Ethereum is at the center of this boom. More than 75% of tokenized RWAs are deployed on Ethereum or its Layer-2 networks. That puts Ethereum in a strong position as the global settlement layer for on-chain finance. From stablecoins to tokenized bonds, the network is becoming the backbone for this growing market.

However, keep in mind that this trend isn’t just about technology. In a world dealing with inflation, geopolitical tensions, and de-globalization, investors are searching for safer and more flexible ways to store value. Tokenized Treasuries, private credit, and even gold are becoming hedging and liquidity tools. RWAs meet the urgent needs of today’s economic climate while providing the speed and transparency of blockchain.
The long-term outlook is even more striking. Polygon Labs projects tokenized RWAs could hit $30 trillion by 2034, while Bankless estimates that U.S. potential alone could top $100 trillion. Those numbers indicate RWAs could dwarf the current DeFi sector, becoming the foundation for a full migration of global markets onto blockchain rails.
In short, tokenized real-world assets are no longer a side story. They are rapidly becoming the core of on-chain finance, with Ethereum leading the charge and institutional money driving the next wave of adoption.

Mega Bank's Director Rui-bin Zhuang tests stablecoin remittances, but the costs of blockchain are misunderstood.
Mega Financial Holding Co. held a media briefing on the 10th. Chairman Dong Rui-bin revealed that to objectively compare the efficiency of bank and blockchain remittances, Mega Bank mobilized 17 countries worldwide and 25 overseas branches last year for testing. Branch staff opened accounts at local legal exchanges and used the virtual asset trading platform BitoPro to trade USDT stablecoins, transferring 50 USDT each time back to Taiwan, and compared this with traditional bank cross-border wire transfers.
The results showed that stablecoins do have advantages for small-scale cross-border remittances. However, for remittance amounts exceeding the equivalent of NT$200,000 (about $7,000 USD), banks remain more cost-competitive.
