Wintermute, one of the largest market makers in the crypto ecosystem, forecasts in a new report that tokenized real-world assets (RWA) will become the next major liquidity channel for the crypto market. Over the past twelve months, RWA captured approximately $16 billion in net growth, representing roughly 0.9% of the total crypto market capitalization estimated at $1.78 trillion. According to Wintermute, a liquidity channel typically reaches peak inflows between 20 and 60 months after reaching measurable scale, placing the RWA channel at just 18 months of existence in its early launch phase. Market size estimates vary significantly across sources, ranging from $7.86 billion to over $51 billion depending on the definition used. ICE, the parent company of the NYSE, is already positioning itself in this space by partnering with tZERO to build digital securities infrastructure for Wall Street-listed assets.
