Binance Research said the tokenized real-world asset market reached $31.8 billion by June 2026. The figure marks a 589% rise from early 2025. RWA.xyz recorded distributed asset value at $30.87 billion on 9 June 2026.
The report said the sector has moved beyond government bond instruments. It now includes equities and alternative asset categories. Bonds and money market funds added $6.5 billion over the period.
Public equities posted the strongest percentage growth. Binance Research placed that growth at about 422% from early 2025 to June 2026.
Binance Research said bonds and money market funds delivered the largest dollar increase. The category grew 83% over the review period. That made it the biggest contributor by value.
The report also said tokenized U.S. Treasury products dominated the RWA sector for two years. Even so, the firm noted that this phase now appears to be maturing. As a result, attention has begun to shift toward other asset types.
Public equities now play a larger role in the sector’s expansion. Their rapid growth points to broader use cases for tokenization. The report framed that shift as part of a wider market change.
Binance Research also said Bitcoin and Ether ETF flows now move differently from technology equities. Their flow patterns now track bond markets more closely. The report linked them to high-yield corporate bonds and long-duration U.S. Treasuries.
The same report said correlations with technology stocks have weakened since early 2025. In contrast, correlations with bond markets have strengthened. That change marks a clear break from earlier market behavior.
Carlos Domingo, chief executive of Securitize, gave a separate forecast during ETHConf in New York on Tuesday. He said the RWA market could rise from about $30 billion to $5 trillion. He said stocks and ETFs could drive that move.
Domingo pointed to the global equities and ETF market, which he valued at about $150 trillion. He said only 2% or 3% moving on-chain could bring the market close to $5 trillion. He also said tokenized stocks offer access, liquidity, and DeFi integration that Treasury products do not match.

Securitize has already taken steps in that direction. The firm announced partnerships with the New York Stock Exchange and Computershare. Those deals aim to support blockchain-based equity trading and settlement infrastructure.
Domingo also drew a line between real tokenized equities and synthetic products. He said many current offerings do not give direct equity ownership. He said genuine tokenized equities must include voting rights and dividend rights.
He said Ethereum remains Securitize’s preferred infrastructure. The firm uses smart contracts to limit ownership to verified investors. At the same time, it keeps assets on permissionless public blockchain networks.
Domingo said traditional markets will remain in place. He expects blockchain markets to run alongside them for a long period. The model would bring immediate settlement and round-the-clock transferability.
The tokenized real-world assets market reached $31.8 billion by June 2026, according to Binance Research, marking a 589% increase since early 2025. Bonds and money market funds led value growth, while public equities recorded the fastest expansion. Industry leaders increasingly view tokenized stocks and ETFs as the next major driver of blockchain-based financial markets.
