The RWA market size surged by 380%, and tokenized assets will dominate the future of blockchain finance.

Recently, a report on the development of Real World Assets (RWA) in Blockchain finance has attracted widespread attention in the industry. The report shows that the RWA tokenization market size has rapidly risen from $5 billion in 2022 to over $24 billion in June 2025, with an increase of as much as 380%. This astonishing rise makes RWA the second fastest growing zone in the Crypto Assets field after stablecoins.

Industry forecasts suggest that by the early 2030s, 10% to 30% of global assets could be tokenized. This means that RWA is expected to become an important bridge connecting traditional finance with Blockchain technology, opening the door to the Blockchain world for over $40 trillion in traditional assets. This figure far exceeds the current total scale of the Crypto Assets market, which is about $3 trillion.

Between 2024 and 2025, asset tokenization will steadily move from the pilot stage to large-scale institutional applications. By December 2024, the market size of tokenized physical assets will reach 15.2 billion USD (excluding stablecoins) and continue to rise. By June 2025, this figure will surpass 24 billion USD, with an annual growth rate of 85%.

The wave of institutions adopting the trend is backed by years of infrastructure development. Many large financial institutions have transitioned from the experimental phase to large-scale application. At the same time, governments around the world are increasingly viewing Blockchain as a key infrastructure for modernizing traditional financial systems and addressing macroeconomic structural challenges. The gradual improvement of the regulatory environment provides favorable conditions for the rapid development of RWA.

By integrating with regulated decentralized finance (DeFi) architectures, RWA has entered a new rise stage. This integration transforms historically illiquid assets into composable financial primitives. The emergence of some innovative platforms enables institutional assets to gain DeFi liquidity while maintaining compliance, creating potential opportunities for yield amplification and secondary markets, which are difficult to achieve in traditional finance.

By June 2025, private credit has become the largest segment of RWA tokenization, reaching a scale of $14 billion, indicating strong institutional interest in the native Blockchain credit market. Tokenization addresses the main constraints of the industry by reducing operational costs, improving access and allocation, while also providing the possibility of establishing a robust secondary liquidity market, all while maintaining institutional underwriting standards and offering high-yield opportunities that were previously only available to qualified investors.

The development of RWA oracles represents a fundamental transformation that requires the adoption of an entirely new technological system. Some specialized providers are at the forefront of advancing complex pricing mechanisms, laying the groundwork for institutional adoption. Unlike the real-time price data of DeFi, RWA pricing needs to integrate complex frameworks such as Net Asset Value (NAV), regulatory compliance, and liquidity adjustments, providing critical infrastructure for the integration of trillions of dollars in tokenized assets into DeFi.

This report reveals the enormous potential of RWA in Blockchain finance, indicating profound changes that may occur in future financial markets. With continuous technological advancements and the gradual improvement of the regulatory environment, RWA is expected to play an increasingly important role in connecting traditional finance with the Blockchain world.
