Listen "RWA Report 2025 – The Real-World Asset Explosion and the Merge of TradFi and DeFi"
Episode Synopsis
This week on TokenTrends Weekly, we unpack the RWA Report 2025 from Dune and RWA.xyz, a snapshot of how Real-World Assets (RWAs) are no longer just experiments—they’re scaling fast. Since the start of 2024, tokenized assets have surged 224%, marking one of the most significant transformations in modern finance.We break down:The Rise of Tokenized Treasuries – why U.S. Treasuries remain the bedrock of tokenization, now hitting $7.3B.Institutional Momentum – with BlackRock’s BUIDL at $2.2B, WisdomTree’s WTGXX, and Franklin Templeton’s BENJI driving mainstream adoption.The Yield Hunt – how private credit, institutional funds, and commodities are shaping the next wave, from Maple Finance’s $3.5B AUM to Centrifuge’s deRWA wrapper scaling structured credit.New Frontiers – tokenized global bonds, equities, and trading platforms like Ostium that blur the line between RWAs and derivatives.The Future of “Embedded Finance” – why soon, nobody will ask if something is tokenized; it’ll just be part of the system.Whether you’re DeFi-native or TradFi-curious, this episode brings clarity to where RWAs are heading—and what it means for the convergence of open finance and institutional capital.
