BNB Chain leads RWA ownership as CZ says ‘tokenize everything’
RWA Signal Insight
InfrastructureBNB Chain has emerged as a significant player in the real-world asset (RWA) sector, reporting a 320% increase in tokenized asset holders over the past 30 days. The network is currently approaching 800,000 users, positioning it as a leader in tokenized asset ownership alongside platforms like Robinhood and Solana. BNB Chain currently hosts $884 million in tokenized stocks, surpassing Ethereum's $683 million valuation in that specific category. Despite this growth, the broader RWA market remains dominated by Canton, which holds a 79% market share and generated $11 million in revenue over the last week. BNB Chain generated $4.5 million in revenue during the same period, accounting for 12% of total blockchain revenue. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has emphasized the potential for tokenization to attract foreign direct investment, while noting that liquidity fragmentation remains a key challenge. Addressing this fragmentation through improved interchangeability between issuers is viewed as a critical step for the industry's maturation. This trend highlights how RWA integration is becoming a primary driver for blockchain revenue and institutional adoption.
