RWA Tokens Surge 260% as Regulatory Clarity Drives $23B Market Expansion

Real-world asset tokenization reached $23 billion in total valuation during the first half of 2025.

The sector grew over 260% from its $8.6 billion start-of-year valuation, according to research data.

Tokenized private credit dominated with 58% market share, while U.S. Treasury debt held 34%.

Increased regulatory clarity in the broader crypto space fueled institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial products.

The SEC's new cryptocurrency staking guidance marked progress toward "more sensible regulation" for the industry.

Meanwhile, 124 public companies now hold BTC as part of their corporate treasury strategies.

Corporate adoption is driven by long-term balance sheet diversification rather than short-term market dynamics.

The sector awaits a full Senate vote on the GENIUS Act, which would establish clear stablecoin collateralization rules.
