In H1 2026, the total value locked (TVL) in the RWA tokenization market surpassed $35 billion, representing a 380% year-over-year increase. BlackRock's BUIDL fund exceeded $2 billion in AUM, marking a full endorsement of on-chain assets by traditional financial giants.
According to the latest data, tokenized U.S. Treasuries have surpassed $9 billion, while private credit tokenization has broken through $18.9 billion, becoming the two pillars of the RWA market. Citibank forecasts this market will reach $4β5 trillion by 2030.
The most significant shift in 2026 is the large-scale influx of institutional capital. Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, BlackRock, and other traditional financial institutions have all launched on-chain asset products, marking a historic transition of RWA from "crypto-native" to "institutional mainstream."
The full implementation of the EU's MiCA regulation has provided a clear regulatory framework for the European RWA market. The U.S. SEC's guidance on tokenized securities has also provided a clear path for compliant issuance.
