🚨📊Are Real-World Assets finally moving on-chain for real❓
A new industry report “State of RWA Tokenization 2026: From Fragmentation to a Unified Global Market” exposes a critical truth: RWAs are booming, but liquidity is fractured across chains.
🔍 Key takeaways
The tokenized RWA market (excluding stablecoins) exceeded $36B in late 2025. Yet instead of a unified market, capital is scattered on isolated blockchains, producing inefficiencies that institutions can no longer ignore.
✨ Fragmentation effects:
👉 😵 1–3% price gaps for identical assets depending on chain
👉 🔁 2–5% friction when moving capital cross-chain
👉 🧱 Capital silos + delayed settlement
👉 🕳 Limited collateral mobility
👉 🔐 Privacy + compliance constraints blocking scaling
🚧 Why this matters?
If RWAs want to scale into the trillions, the solution is not “pick one chain.” Instead, the report argues for an interoperability stack that:
👉 🤝 connects regulated issuance
👉 ⚙️ enables compliant settlement
👉 🌐 synchronizes liquidity
👉 🧩 bridges privacy-preserving systems
👉 📈 unlocks institutional scale
This signals a shift from pilots → full-scale production infrastructure, with networks like Canton advocating modular, compliant interoperability rails for regulated finance.
🌍 What's next?
⚡ 24/7 tokenized collateral mobility
⚡ unified liquidity pools across chains
⚡ real-time settlement rails
⚡ institutional grade controls + privacy
⚡ global capital market synchronization
The winners will not be chains competing for RWAs but the networks connecting them.
