RWA sector has scaled real fast in the last 18 months.
CoinGecko’s own 2026 report had tokenized RWAs at $5.4B at the start of 2025 and $19.3B by the end of Q1.
Broader trackers now put distributed on-chain value around $39B, with holders past 5M.
Why it actually moved, imo:
– Regulation stopped being pure fog w/ MiCA, the DTCC tokenization pilot, clearer paths for tokenized stocks
– Institutions shipped real products. $BUIDL, @Franklin, @Circle, @Ondo
– Treasuries still anchor it, but gold, credit, stocks and $ETFs are growing faster
– Stablecoins already gave the sector on-chain cash
The first wave proved you can tokenize → this wave is about whether anyone uses it.
@coingecko already dropped an $RWA page for fast tracking the sector in Mcap, volume, token count, by asset type or issuer. It could be a good tool if you are an RWA maxi, ngl
