Half of the $60 Billion Tokenization Market Has No Real Activity

Research from BeInCrypto indicates that over 50% of the $60 billion tokenized real-world asset market currently experiences zero weekly transfer activity. The report analyzed more than 7,000 individual products spanning 12 distinct asset classes to assess the health of the sector. While the total market valuation is expanding rapidly, the lack of secondary market liquidity suggests that many tokenized assets are held in static portfolios rather than being actively traded. This discrepancy highlights a significant gap between the total volume of assets brought on-chain and their actual utility within decentralized finance ecosystems. For the broader RWA market, these findings serve as a critical reality check regarding the maturity of current tokenization efforts. Investors and developers must distinguish between assets that are merely digitized and those that provide genuine on-chain liquidity and transactional value. Addressing this inactivity is essential for the industry to transition from a phase of experimental issuance to one of sustainable, high-velocity financial infrastructure.
