Active tokenized RWAs surge almost 600% despite crypto pullback: Binance

The market for active tokenized real-world assets experienced a significant 589% surge between early 2025 and June 2026, according to Binance Research. While bonds and money market funds added $6.5 billion in value, tokenized stocks demonstrated faster growth with a 422% increase in market value. Platforms like Ondo Global Markets played a pivotal role in this momentum, surpassing $1 billion in total value locked within eight months. Tokenized precious metals also saw substantial interest, adding $1.5 billion in value as investors sought safe-haven assets during periods of geopolitical uncertainty. Beyond investment products, institutional adoption is expanding into core financial infrastructure, exemplified by The Clearing House's plans to launch a tokenized deposit network backed by major banks like JPMorgan Chase and Citibank. Furthermore, Kraken’s xStocks platform has facilitated over $25 billion in trading volume for tokenized private equities like SpaceX shares. This maturation signifies a shift from a Treasury-dominated narrative toward a diversified ecosystem that integrates blockchain technology into traditional banking and settlement processes.
