Tokenized real-world assets surge to $7.4B in 12 months as DeFi deposits slide 15%
AI Market Summary
CoinShares/Token Terminal data show onchain real-world assets (RWAs) tripled to $7.4B while aggregate DeFi deposits fell ~15% and DEX volumes ~70%, implying a rotation from speculative crypto activity into yield-bearing, dollar-linked instruments (notably tokenized Treasuries at ~3%–5.5%). This supports structurally higher demand for USD-denominated onchain yield, but concentrates risk if policy rates fall and yields compress.
