The popularity of on-chain asset tokenization continues to rise. The market capitalization of RWA excluding stablecoins has already surpassed $20 billion, reaching a new high. This reflects the market's increasing recognition of traditional assets being brought on-chain.

Among them, the tokenization of U.S. Treasury bonds has been the most impressive—its market cap has exceeded $8.87 billion, making it the most attractive sub-sector in the RWA track. From U.S. debt to commodities and corporate bonds, more and more real-world assets are being digitized through blockchain. This not only lowers the access barriers but also makes it easier for global investors to participate in traditional financial asset trading. How far this trend can go depends on the subsequent attitudes of regulators and institutions.

Really? US debt on the chain has already broken 8.8 billion? This is the true collision between traditional finance and Web3. --- RWA is on the rise now; it's exciting to see institutions truly entering the space. --- I just want to know when this thing will be regulated by a certain country's regulatory authorities. --- Breaking 200 billion is indeed impressive, but it still feels like institutions are just copying each other's homework. --- Lower the entry barriers? Nice words, but it's just another new trick to cut the leeks again. --- However, regarding the tokenization of US debt, there is definitely room for imagination in the future. --- Once regulation comes, everything will be over. It will then be a matter of who can survive until the end.

8.8 billion USD bond tokenization, is this really traditional finance being forced to enter? The Federal Reserve is watching closely. How long this can last is still uncertain. RWA is hot, but major institutional players are still watching cautiously.

$8.87 billion in US debt tokenization, is this number really true? It feels a bit outrageous. Is putting US debt on the chain really safe? Or is it just another new trick to cut leeks? Once RWA regulation tightens, it will crash directly. Can't afford to gamble. Now only institutional-level players are entering this track. Can retail investors really get the benefits? Wait, isn't this just another packaging of stablecoins? Traditional finance going on the chain sounds good, but in reality? It's still centralized stuff. $20 billion, so what? Everyone in crypto is just talking big. The key is whether we can survive until next year.

U.S. debt tokenization has already exceeded 8.8 billion, will it all fall with a single regulatory statement? --- RWA is indeed impressive this time, but are we really not afraid of policy reversals? --- 200 billion sounds like a lot, but it still depends on whether institutions are truly willing to invest real money. --- The entry barriers have been lowered, but who will bear the risks? --- Global investors participating sounds great, but does the Federal Reserve really allow it? --- The on-chain U.S. debt thing, it still feels early. --- Once regulation moves, these figures will be fake. --- 88.7 billion USD in U.S. debt tokens, just waiting for a ban to come down. --- RWA is hot, but institutions are still watching.

RWA is really taking off, but to be honest, the $8.87 billion in US debt tokenization sounds impressive. How's the actual liquidity? Feels like only institutions are having fun. Institutional entry is a good thing, but can retail investors really get a piece of the pie... It always feels like a new way to cut leeks in the end. Wait, if this really crashes down, could it collapse faster than traditional finance? There's no circuit breaker mechanism on-chain, brother. RWA has exceeded 20 billion, which I didn't expect. Last year, it was still a niche track, but the future depends on SEC's attitude. One document could undo everything. Tokenizing US debt, at its core, is a marriage between traditional finance and the blockchain. Who will raise the child? I haven't figured out this problem yet.
