RWAs: The $32B Bridge Uniting TradFi and DeFi

The Unite DeFi Singapore conference kicked off with a deep dive into Real-World Assets (RWAs) — now a $32 billion on-chain market as of October 2025.

Tokenized Treasuries Lead the Charge

  • $25.3B in tokenized U.S. Treasuries & private credit
  • $3.2B in commodities
  • $400M in equities

Yield-bearing, low-volatility assets are dominating — mirroring sovereign bonds in traditional portfolios.

Panel Consensus: RWAs = Institutional On-Ramp

Experts including:

  • Fredrik Haga (Dune co-founder)
  • Laszlo Szabo (Kiln CEO)
  • Roberto Klein (Backed Finance)

Tokenization isn’t replacement — it’s expansion. Finance is moving onto open, programmable rails.

Why Now?

  • Rate cuts → liquidity flowing back on-chain
  • RWAs anchor DeFi volatility with transparent, predictable yield
  • Stablecoins = the universal connector between tokenized assets and real-world use

The Big Picture

RWAs aren’t just digitizing old assets — they’re rebuilding capital markets on blockchain:

TradFi Role DeFi Equivalent
Sovereign bonds Tokenized Treasuries
Private loans On-chain credit funds
Bank distribution Instant global access

With stablecoins as** the**** glue**, RWAs are turning DeFi into institutional-grade infrastructure$32B today, trillions tomorrow.
