Bernstein: RWA Market Reaches $51 Billion
According to a Bernstein Research report, the market for tokenized real-world assets (RWA) has grown by 42% this year, reaching $51 billion. The primary driver of this growth is the private credit segment, which accounts for nearly 44% of the total RWA value. This trend highlights the expanding use of blockchain infrastructure in lending and savings structures. This is reported by Cointelegraph.com .
The $51 billion market valuation is significantly higher than the $34 billion figure provided by other analytical centers, such as RWA.xyz. This indicates that analysts are using different methodologies to calculate tokenized assets. Major projects, such as BlackRock's BUIDL fund with over $2.5 billion in assets, demonstrate growing institutional investor interest in this sector.
Tokenized private credit allows loans to be recorded directly on blockchain networks, outside the traditional banking system. According to Bernstein, a large portion of the growth in this area is attributed to Figure Technology Solutions (FIGR). The company leads among RWA platforms with $18 billion in assets. It is followed by Securitize and Paxos, each with $4.2 billion in assets.
Experts believe that private credit is becoming one of the fastest-growing sectors in the RWA space. This system provides high yields for investors and necessary capital for businesses. Although the tokenization of U.S. Treasurys was the first successful step, private credit is considered more attractive due to its direct connection to the real economy.
