DeFi & Yields ·
Real-world asset holdings on BNB Chain have reached $5.67B, with $1.5B of that total currently deployed as collateral within lending protocols. The shift reflects a change in how treasury-like assets are being utilized—rather than remaining idle, these holdings are now generating yield through borrowing arrangements against themselves. The mechanism allows asset holders to access liquidity while maintaining their underlying positions, a practice that has gained traction as decentralized lending infrastructure has matured on the chain. It remains unclear what proportion of the $5.67B consists of tokenized traditional assets versus other forms of RWA representation, and which lending protocols account for the largest share of the $1.5B deployed.
