$INJ · Nearly half of Injective markets now track tokenized RWAs

At 05:15 UTC on October 16, 2026, INJ traded at $9.26, up about 26% in 24 hours while Bitcoin rose about 1.3%.

Why: as of mid October, Injective hosts 135 RWA perpetual markets, nearly half of all markets on the chain, with cumulative RWA perp volume past $5.3B since early 2025.

The example: those markets span equities, FX, commodities, and pre IPO names like SpaceX and OpenAI. On October 8, Gulf Labs from

Thailand's GULF Group (about $27B) went live as an Injective institutional validator.

The other side: most RWA markets are price tracking perps, not yet native securities. SEC transfer agent registration took effect August 19. US INJ ETF filings are still pending.

When a finance L1 puts tokenized markets at half its board, traders notice. Next test is native issuance at scale.

NFA.
