Crypto's second fastest growing vertical. One of the few asset classes to grow during recent global turmoil.
Today, Real-World Assets are worth over $24B. Tomorrow, they could be worth trillions.
Introducing the Real-World Asset Report by RedStone, @gauntlet_xyz, and @RWA_xyz.
2/ The RWA market value soared from $5B to $24B in just 2.5 years, marking a 380% increase.
As RWAs exploded in size, demand shifted from theory to execution.
This is no longer a "what if" scenario. It's about what's next.
Scroll on for highlights.
3/ This isn't just "more crypto." RWAs link on-chain finance to the $400T TradFi system, expanding the scope by 130x.
Why now? The stack is finally ready.
Years of regulatory progress, infrastructure maturity, and macroeconomic pressure have aligned. The pipeline is operational.
4/ Private credit is leading the charge with $14B tokenized so far.
It’s the ideal testbed: high yield, historically illiquid, and ripe for distribution upgrades.
Now it's programmable, accessible, and liquid. This is the RWA bull case.
See @MarcinRedStone's takeaways:
5/ 2024 to 2025 marked a true inflection point.
The RWA market cap grew 85% year-over-year, but more importantly, institutional use became tangible.
In a historic first, a Wall Street fund embraced DeFi: Apollo's ADCF fund, tokenized by Securitize, was deployed in a live onchain application via $sACRED standard.
Capital allocators can now tap into enhanced yield onchain through @gauntlet_xyz's levered RWA strategy, secured by @redstone_defi oracle price feeds, built around this very asset. That's the revolution.
6/ Why do institutions care? Enhanced risk-adjusted yields, accessible compliance, and composability.
RedStone’s RWA price feeds enable platforms like Drift, Morpho, and Kamino to integrate tokenized assets with DeFi.
Offchain finance simply lacks the on-chain flexibility.
7/ None of this works without infrastructure.
RedStone, along with key partners like @Securitize, are developing an institutional-grade oracle layer that meets TradFi standards.
Our custom RWA feeds provide secure, NAV-based pricing with the highest reliability.
8/ A huge thanks to the co-authors of this report, @gauntlet_xyz and @RWA_xyz, for their insights and collaboration.
And, our respect to the dozens of builders shaping the RWA landscape:
