[Analysis] "RWA Market Grows 260% in H1… Surpasses $23 Billion Amid Clearer U.S. Regulations"

The Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization market surged by 260% in the first half of this year, breaking through a total of $23 billion (approximately ₩31.7 trillion). Analysts say that the participation of enterprises has gained momentum as the U.S. virtual asset regulatory framework is put in place.

On the 5th, Cointelegraph, a crypto-specialized media outlet, cited a Binance Research report stating, "The RWA tokenization market, which stood at $8.6 billion at the start of this year, has now surpassed $23 billion."

The key to market growth is said to lie in a structure where general investment firms create tokens out of loans extended to companies and make them tradable on the blockchain. Such ‘private credit tokenization’ accounted for 58% of the entire RWA market, making it the segment with the largest share.

A Binance Research representative commented, "The adoption of Bitcoin by companies centers on long-term asset strategy and capital fundraising rather than short-term liquidity," adding, "Both the growth of the RWA market and Bitcoin adoption could further expand depending on regulatory and macroeconomic environments."

The media noted, "RWA tokens are considered securities by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but there is no dedicated regulatory framework yet." However, the report added that "recent regulatory improvements are resulting in indirect benefits for the market."
