The Rise of RWA Tokenization

In 2023, the financial world witnessed a seismic shift with the advent of Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization, captivating both crypto enthusiasts and traditional financial institutions alike. Termed by Blackrock as the "Next Generation for Markets" and lauded by JP Morgan as "the killer app for traditional finance," RWA tokenization emerged as the ultimate bridge between crypto and traditional financial markets, as heralded by crypto exchange HTX.

RWA stands tall as one of the fastest-growing sectors in crypto, growing 658% from $0.76B to $5.74B in 2023. It is now the 10th largest sector in decentralized finance (DeFi) with a total-locked value (TVL) of $6.1 billion (as at Apr 8, 2024); dwarfing sectors such as farming, derivatives and synthetics.
