With the increasingly clear regulatory environment driving broader market acceptance of blockchain financial products, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) is set to experience explosive growth in the first half of 2025.
Tokenization of real-world assets refers to the process of minting financial and other tangible assets onto an immutable blockchain ledger, thereby enhancing investors' accessibility to these assets and the convenience of trading them.
According to a report provided by Binance Research to Cointelegraph, the RWA market surged over 260% in the first half of 2025, with a total valuation exceeding $23 billion. In contrast, this figure was only $8.6 billion at the beginning of the year.
Tokenized private credit has become the leading force behind the prosperity of the RWA market, accounting for approximately 58% of the market share, followed closely by tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds, which make up 34%.
The report states: "As the regulatory framework becomes clearer, the industry is expected to continue growing and attract more active participation from major industry players."
Currently, there is no dedicated regulatory framework for RWAs, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) classifying them as securities. However, the sector still benefits from regulatory developments in the broader cryptocurrency space.
On May 29, the SEC released new guidelines regarding cryptocurrency staking, a development seen as an important step towards "more reasonable regulation." Alison Mangiero, head of staking policy at the Crypto Innovation Committee, told Cointelegraph that this marks a significant breakthrough for the industry.
The industry is eagerly awaiting the Senate's full vote on U.S. stablecoin guidance and the establishment of the National Innovation Act (GENIUS Act), which aims to set clear rules for stablecoin collateralization.
Other analysts point out that the temporary price consolidation of Bitcoin (BTC) has become a major driving force for the growth of the RWA market, as it offers a safer investment option with predictable returns.
A new wave of corporate "FOMO" (fear of missing out) is motivating more companies to incorporate Bitcoin into their balance sheets.
According to data from BitcoinTreasuries.NET, at least 124 publicly traded companies currently include Bitcoin as part of their corporate treasury.
A spokesperson from Binance Research told Cointelegraph that while summer may lead to a slowdown in overall cryptocurrency market activity, broader macro conditions and regulatory developments will largely determine the pace of corporate Bitcoin adoption, adding: "The driving forces behind corporate Bitcoin adoption are long-term balance sheet strategies, treasury diversification, and financing activities."
Researchers further noted that a long-term investment perspective may continue to drive corporate adoption of Bitcoin, rather than "short-term liquidity or seasonal market dynamics."
