In 2024, the RWA sector outperformed the broader market, with global regulatory policies gradually clarifying, creating favorable conditions for capital inflow. McKinsey predicts that the market value of tokenized assets will reach $4 trillion by 2030, while the current total market value of RWA is approximately $14.9 billion, requiring an annual increase of about $33 billion in the coming years. Despite the market's confidence in RWA, it primarily serves institutions and large investors, leaving retail investors facing challenges. Odaily Planet Daily reviews the progress of RWA in 2024 and looks ahead to its development direction in 2025.
In 2024, the RWA sector saw several significant positive events, with stablecoins as part of RWA having a market value of approximately $20.3 billion. The market value of tokenized US Treasury bonds exceeded $3.8 billion, and the total value of active loans in the private credit market reached $9.53 billion. The trend of commodity tokenization is significant, with the market value of gold tokens reaching $1.05 billion. The diversity of the RWA sector makes it an important area for the application of blockchain technology.
Behind the RWA boom, retail investors still face challenges. There are two approaches to investing in RWA: directly purchasing RWA products or investing in platform tokens related to RWA projects. By 2025, RWA is expected to become one of the core driving forces of Web3 development, with the tokenization of high-value assets such as bonds and real estate likely to introduce more liquidity and stability. The explosion of RWA may become an important turning point for transformation in the crypto industry.
