Tokenized Equities Surge 390.4% To $4.43 Billion In Binance RWA Report
RWA Signal Insight
InfrastructureBinance Research reported that the total value of onchain real-world assets (RWA) surged 85.2% in 2026, reaching a total of $34.18 billion. A standout development was the 390.4% growth in tokenized equities, which climbed to $4.43 billion, signaling a shift from experimental status to a distinct, scalable asset class. Despite this rapid expansion, bonds and money-market funds remain the dominant category, accounting for $18.29 billion or 54.7% of total assets under management. The report highlights that these programmable assets currently represent only 0.01% of their total addressable market, suggesting significant long-term growth potential. This structural shift reflects increased institutional adoption and the development of workable regulatory pathways for complex equity tokenization. While fixed-income products continue to provide the foundation for onchain yield, the diversification into equities marks a critical evolution in the RWA ecosystem. The data underscores that while the sector is expanding rapidly, it remains in the very early stages of capturing global traditional finance capital.
