Tokenized real-world assets top $33.8 billion, up 16x in two years

The total value of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has climbed to a record $33.8 billion, roughly a 1,600% surge over the past two years, The Kobeissi Letter said, as cited by ChainCatcher. Momentum has been fueled by on-chain platforms such as Jupiter working with institutions including Securitize, xStocks and Ondo Finance to roll out tokenized offerings, driving a 34% week-over-week jump in trading volume. Bloomberg reported this week that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is leaning toward allowing trading in tokenized assets, a move that would signal a notable shift in U.S. crypto market infrastructure policy.
