Tokenized RWAs Jump 589% to June 2026, Binance Research

Binance Research reported in its Monthly Market Insights that active tokenized real-world assets rose 589% from early 2025 to June 2026. Tokenized stocks increased 422% while bonds and money market funds grew 83% over the same period.

Bonds and money market products added about $6.5 billion in value. Tokenized precious metals added roughly $1.5 billion, a 39% gain that pushed tokenized gold above $6 billion at its January–February peak before prices later retraced.

Platforms offering tokenized equities and ETFs contributed to the fastest percentage gains in tokenized stocks. One platform, Ondo Global Markets, surpassed $1 billion in total value locked within eight months of launch. A tokenized offering tied to a private aerospace company and a tokenized equities platform recorded heavy trading, with cumulative volumes exceeding $25 billion within months of launch.

Institutional adoption expanded into fund services and financial infrastructure. Apex Group began providing fund services using a major bank’s digital asset platform. Banks are examining tokenized deposit networks, and The Clearing House plans to launch a bank-backed tokenized deposit network next year.

Market volatility in early June coincided with a pullback in broader crypto markets. Bitcoin and other large cryptocurrencies fell sharply as expectations of higher interest rates rose and uncertainty around U.S. market-structure legislation persisted. A large institutional sale of Bitcoin also affected short-term sentiment.

Binance Research noted the tokenized RWA market is diversifying across asset classes and investor types. Tokenized bonds and money market products now account for a larger share of market value, while tokenized equities and real estate offerings continue to expand.

Commodity-backed tokens tracked underlying metal prices. Inflows into tokenized precious metals clustered in early 2026 during a period of geopolitical tension, and some gains were reversed when gold prices fell in the spring.

Binance Research wrote: “2026 marks RWA tokenization’s maturation from a Treasury-dominated narrative into a diversified yield ecosystem.”

Tokenized real-world assets are digital tokens representing ownership or claims on traditional assets such as bonds, equities, real estate and commodities. They are issued and transferred on blockchain networks, enabling fractional ownership and automated settlement. Growth through 2025 and into mid-2026 reflected new product launches and increased institutional interest amid ongoing regulatory uncertainty and macroeconomic headwinds.
