Tokenized Assets Approach $35 Billion Milestone as Blockchain Gains Traction in Traditional Finance
The market for tokenized real-world assets (RWA) on public blockchains has surged to $34.14 billion as of October 2025, marking a 10.58% monthly increase. This growth brings the sector within striking distance of the $35 billion threshold, underscoring accelerating institutional adoption of blockchain for asset digitization.
Leading the charge are blockchain-based tokens like BUIDL, XAUT, and PAXG, which represent claims on off-chain assets including U.S. Treasuries and commodities. These instruments are bridging digital and traditional finance, offering investors unprecedented liquidity in historically illiquid markets.
Tokenization represents a fundamental shift in asset management, converting physical and financial assets into blockchain-based digital tokens. The technology promises to reshape markets for real estate, precious metals, and fixed income securities through enhanced transparency and fractional ownership.
