Tokenized assets surpass three million holders as RWA sector doubles in 30 days
The tokenized real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem reached a significant milestone in early September 2026, surpassing 3.31 million total asset holders. This figure represents a growth of over 100% in just 30 days, signaling a major shift in market adoption. While earlier RWA growth was primarily driven by Treasury products and credit instruments, the recent surge is largely attributed to the tokenization of equities and stocks. Consumer-facing platforms like Robinhood have played a pivotal role, onboarding over 200,000 new holders in a few weeks. Meanwhile, the Zug-based protocol Centrifuge continues to see steady growth, currently supporting 1,293 holders across 9 assets with a total value locked of approximately $1.61 billion. Janus Henderson’s JTRSY and JAAA products remain the primary drivers of Centrifuge's TVL, accounting for the vast majority of its distributed value. This rapid expansion suggests that tokenization is moving beyond niche financial instruments toward broader retail and equity-based participation.

Centrifuge is a decentralized protocol designed to bridge real-world assets to the blockchain, allowing businesses to tokenize and finance assets like invoices, real estate, and corporate debt. It operates by creating on-chain representations of these assets, which investors can then fund to earn yield, effectively bringing traditional finance liquidity into the decentralized ecosystem.
