RWA Growth on blockchain accelerates amid Bitcoin volatility
February 10, 2025
Amid crypto market instability and BTC decline, investors are looking for stable and profitable alternatives, one of which is real-world assets (RWA) digitized through blockchain.
According to forecasts, the volume of funds in RWA could reach $50 billion as early as 2025. These tokenized versions of traditional assets, such as real estate, art, and securities, enhance transparency, accessibility, and liquidity, opening up new investment opportunities.
Impact of the current situation
In times of uncertainty, the market mitigates risks, increasing interest in RWA. Experts believe that BTC weakness could accelerate the growth of this segment. Interest from major players, including BlackRock and JPMorgan, confirms the involvement of traditional finance in tokenized assets.
Global asset market
The global asset market is valued at $450 trillion, with institutional investors controlling $100 trillion. Even shifting 1–2% of these funds to blockchain could significantly accelerate RWA growth. RedStone's co-founder believes that tokenization offers investors a more efficient, transparent, and convenient alternative to traditional asset management.
Increasing crypto market volatility is driving investors toward stable assets. Centrifuge’s marketing director notes that institutional investors are seeking more resilient instruments. Fixed-income RWAs can hedge market risks. According to forecasts, the market is expected to grow 50 times by 2030, reaching $30 trillion, thanks to blockchain integration into finance.
