Real World Assets
Wall Street is moving treasuries, bonds, and real estate on-chain. Ondo, Centrifuge, and Franklin Templeton are leading a quiet transformation of traditional finance.
Market Overview
Real World Asset tokenization crossed $15B in total value locked as institutional investors seek on-chain exposure to traditional assets. BlackRock's BUIDL fund ($500M+) and Franklin Templeton's OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund signal Wall Street's commitment to blockchain rails.
The narrative centers on three core verticals: U.S. Treasury tokenization (Ondo, Matrixdock), private credit (Centrifuge, Maple), and real estate fractionalization (RealT, Lofty). Regulatory clarity from SEC guidance on digital asset securities enabled institutional participation without securities law violations.
Yield advantage drives adoption: tokenized treasuries offer 4.5-5% APY with T+0 settlement, beating traditional money market funds on both returns and liquidity. Corporate treasuries (Siemens, WisdomTree) now allocate to on-chain bonds as cash management tools.
