DWF Labs: $31B in Tokenized Real-World Assets Onchain, But Under 10% Active in DeFi
By
Emmanuel Musa
Summary
DWF Labs Research reports that over $31 billion in real-world assets (RWAs) have been tokenized on blockchains, but less than 10% (~$3 billion) is actively used in DeFi. The report argues that the next phase of tokenization will be won by platforms that make these assets liquid, tradable, and useful within decentralized finance. Major players like BlackRock, Maple, and Figure are competing to unlock utility for this largely dormant capital.
