Tokenization of Private Credit Surges Amid Growing Demand

The private credit sector is experiencing a significant transformation as tokenization drives a 1,618% increase in wallets lending tokenized private credit assets in 2026. According to data from Chainalysis, this surge highlights a growing demand for liquidity among holders of traditionally illiquid assets. By converting private credit rights into digital tokens on a blockchain, investors can now utilize these positions as collateral to access cash without needing to liquidate their holdings. This trend stands in stark contrast to the 23% decline observed in the lending of tokenized U.S. Treasuries during the same period. The divergence suggests that while Treasury holders have established financing routes, private credit tokenization is filling a critical gap for those seeking novel leverage opportunities. As institutional interest in these digital assets continues to heighten, the shift is poised to reshape long-term asset management strategies. Ultimately, this growth underscores the potential for blockchain technology to enhance market efficiency and provide new utility for previously stagnant financial instruments.

U.S. Treasuries

Tokenized Treasuries: Italy, Portugal and Singapore Beat the US

The global market for tokenized U.S. Treasuries surged 125% to $15.42 billion by July 2026, establishing itself as the largest real-world asset category on-chain. According to Chainalysis, international demand is driving this growth, with Italy, Portugal, and Singapore collectively holding a significantly larger share of tokenized Treasury value than the United States. While the U.S. accounts for 10.5% of identified geolocated value, Italy leads at 29.9%, followed by Portugal and Singapore. This geographic distribution highlights how tokenization democratizes access to U.S. debt by removing traditional brokerage barriers, allowing retail investors globally to bypass domestic financial infrastructure. Despite the rise of local stablecoin initiatives like Canada's Bill C-15, the data suggests a strong preference for dollar-denominated assets, which continue to dominate on-chain transaction volumes. The trend indicates that tokenized Treasuries are primarily used as long-term holdings rather than collateral, as evidenced by a 23% contraction in Treasury lending. Ultimately, the shift confirms that the U.S. dollar remains the default global standard for on-chain liquidity, even as domestic alternatives attempt to capture market share.

U.S. Treasuries

The Biggest Buyers of On-Chain US Debt Aren’t Where You’d Expect

A Chainalysis report reveals that tokenized U.S. Treasury value surged 125% to $15.42 billion in the year ending July 1, 2026, establishing U.S. debt as the largest on-chain RWA category. Notably, investors in Italy, Portugal, and Singapore hold larger shares of this value than U.S.-based participants, with Italy alone accounting for 29.9%. This trend highlights how tokenization democratizes access to wholesale financial instruments by removing traditional brokerage barriers for international retail investors. The data indicates that foreign demand for these assets, alongside the dominance of U.S. dollar-backed stablecoins, effectively channels global capital into U.S. government debt. While dollar-pegged stablecoins command 99.1% of order book volume, euro-denominated alternatives remain marginal despite the implementation of MiCA. Furthermore, the report observes a contraction in Treasury lending activity, suggesting that holders prioritize long-term asset retention over collateralization. This shift in capital flows has prompted policy discussions in nations like Canada, where officials are monitoring the impact of dollar-stablecoin adoption on domestic debt demand.
