The report highlighted the growth of tokenized assets, including government bonds, private credit, and real estate, underscoring the increasing engagement of traditional financial institutions with blockchain technology.
RWA Market Expansion Driven by Treasuries
The RWA market includes a variety of tokenized assets, such as U.S. Treasuries, private credit, commodities, equities, real estate, and non-U.S. bonds.
Moreover, emerging categories like air rights, carbon credits, and fine art are beginning to surface within the sector, providing additional investment avenues.
