RWA market cap reaches $46.2B with $3.6B deployed in DeFi and $419.3M in 24h DEX volume.
DeFi & Yields ·
The real-world asset sector has reached a $46.2 billion aggregate valuation, with activity shifting toward deployment in decentralized finance. Over the past day, decentralized venues accumulated $3.6 billion in RWA capital, while spot trading across decentralized exchanges logged $419.3 million in volume.
This movement reflects a maturation of the RWA landscape beyond pure tokenization and issuance. Assets are now being actively routed into DeFi protocols where they generate yield or serve as collateral for lending and other financial operations. The scale of capital flowing into DeFi suggests that market participants are moving past experimental phases toward practical financial use.
What remains unclear is the composition of that $3.6 billion by protocol, asset type, or geography, as well as whether the 24-hour DEX volume represents sustained trading interest or a single-day spike. The sustainability of this inflow and its impact on DeFi yields and risk profiles also warrant further monitoring.
