RWA

Solana (SOL) is showing remarkable resilience, trading steadily at $71.84 on the 4-hour chart as of June 29, 2026. While the broader cryptocurrency market has faced a choppy summer shakeout following cautious signals from the Federal Reserve, Solana is carving out its own bullish narrative.

Real-world asset tokenization reached $31 billion on-chain by mid-2026, with BlackRock, JPMorgan and Franklin Templeton among the most active participants. The trend has been driven largely by major traditional finance firms rather than retail traders. Here’s what RWA tokenization is and why it is drawing institutional interest.

Atlas plans to launch USAFi in Q3 2026 under Dubai’s VARA framework, positioning it as a regulated permissionless digital security backed by a Nasdaq-listed ETF. The initiative marks economist Nouriel Roubini’s first step into digital assets after years as one of crypto’s most vocal critics. Atlas says the token will be supported by Nasdaq-listed USAF reserves and is intended to offer DeFi access while helping preserve value.

The tokenized stock market has crossed $1 billion in total value, intensifying scrutiny of how equities could move on-chain. SpaceX’s SPCX token on Solana has helped drive a jump in trading activity and liquidity concentration across venues. The shift is also reviving concerns over regulatory clarity and fragmented liquidity as tokenized equities scale.

21Shares maintains a $100K year-end base case for Bitcoin in its mid-year report. The firm also highlights $54,000 as Bitcoin’s aggregate cost basis, a level it says the price has not fallen below in this cycle. It characterizes the pullback as a more mature correction rather than a panic-driven collapse.

Standard Chartered said Aave could reach $3,500 by the end of 2030, implying a 50x gain. The forecast is based on the bank’s expectation that the value of assets active in DeFi will expand sharply and on a recovery following the KelpDAO incident.

DeFi total value locked (TVL) has fallen by more than 39% so far in 2026. The decline underscores a sharp contraction in capital parked across decentralized finance protocols.

DWF Labs says more than $31 billion in real-world assets have moved onchain, but most of that capital remains inactive. In a report from DWF Labs Research, the firm estimates that less than 10% of tokenized RWAs are active in DeFi. It argues the next phase of tokenization will favor platforms that make these assets liquid, tradable, and usable inside DeFi.

Stellar’s compliance-focused technology stack is helping fuel rapid growth in real-world assets on the XLM network. Its RWA market has tripled, reaching $3 billion. The expansion reflects rising institutional adoption of tokenized products on Stellar.

With institutional adoption accelerating, Aptos Labs CBO Solomon Tesfaye says tokenization is moving beyond the question of whether assets can be put on-chain to whether blockchain infrastructure can support markets at scale. He points to the growth of tokenized products such as BlackRock’s BUIDL fund and broader activity in on-chain finance. Tesfaye says institutions are prioritizing operational requirements such as reliability, settlement and integration over token issuance.
