🚨 RWA MARKET ALERT: Blockchain Fragmentation Is Costing Billions 🚨
Real World Assets (RWAs) are booming on-chain — but fragmentation across blockchains is quietly draining value.
📊 Key Findings (via RWAio) • Tokenized RWAs now exceed $36B in circulating value
• Same assets trade at 1–3% price differences across chains
• Cross-chain transfers can cost investors 2–5% per move due to fees & slippage
• Annual value loss today: $600M–$1.3B
🌐 Where RWAs Live • Ethereum holds ~52% of total tokenized RWA value
• Polygon dominates tokenized RWA bonds with ~62% share
🔮 Why This Matters If tokenized assets scale to $16T–$30T by 2030, fragmentation could balloon losses to $30B–$75B annually. That’s not a UX issue — it’s a structural one.
💡 The Big Takeaway RWAs need seamless interoperability, unified liquidity, and efficient settlement layers. The next phase of RWA growth won’t be about tokenization alone — it’ll be about connecting chains without leaking value.
Infrastructure solves this, or growth stalls.
