The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) such as equities, bonds, real estate, art, and commodities is gaining momentum in the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector. Institutions are increasingly deploying infrastructure to bring these assets onchain, enabling fractional ownership and 24/7 trading. The total value locked (TVL) in RWAs has surpassed $11 billion, with a $500 million increase since late March 2025. Industry leaders including Ripple, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Archax, and Ondo Finance have discussed the impact of RWA tokenization on traditional markets. Layer-1 blockchains like Avalanche and Aptos are playing key roles, with Aptos experiencing 700% TVL growth in 2024 and integrating major RWA projects alongside stablecoin cross-chain capabilities. Platforms such as Injective offer tokenization modules that transform real-world assets into composable digital assets, unlocking liquidity for traditionally illiquid markets. Collaborations between infrastructure providers like Defactor and the global RWA hub rwa_io aim to provide comprehensive toolkits covering KYC, compliance, and data validation to support institutional adoption. The RWA market is projected to unlock a $30 trillion opportunity by 2030, marking a shift from speculative DeFi farming to real-world financial utility.
