The tokenized real-world assets (RWA) market continues to grow with deposits having more than tripled to reach $7.4 billion according to the CoinShares and Token Terminal report. The on-chain capitalization of RWAs now exceeds $40 billion, with nearly 70% of deposits allocated to lending platforms built on Ethereum. Tokenized traditional assets such as bonds, gold, and S&P 500 stocks represent the strongest sector growth over the past year, with deposit growth of nearly 220%. This trend fits within the emerging Hybrid Finance paradigm, where traditional finance reorganizes around blockchain rather than being replaced by it. In parallel, decentralized finance (DeFi) is declining, with total deposits down approximately 15% year-over-year and DEX volumes falling 70%.
