Meanwhile, the second largest group is represented by U.S treasury debt. Contributing around a quarter of the total RWA value, U.S. treasury debt amounts to $7.4 billion on-chain.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chart representing the share of RWA value on-chain over the past six years | Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/app.rwa.xyz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">RWA.xyz<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>A new contender in the ring, which only recently exploded in value this year are on-chain stocks. According to the recorded data, stocks now make up $568 million of RWA value on-chain. At the end of 2024 the number was still at $378 million, rising by nearly $200 million in the past nine months.<\/p>\n<p>This surge could be due to new product offerings on-chain, such as Backed-powered xStocks which brings on-board more than 60 U.S. stocks from Nasdaq, including major corporations such as Tesla, NVIDIA, Google, Circle, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Coincidentally, the market capitalization of RWA tokens also reached a new high as it jumped from about $67 billion to nearly $76 billion over the past week. The RWA tokenization market has been predicted to reach $18.9 trillion in the next eight years, according to a report by Ripple and Boston Consulting Group.<\/p>\n<p>According to the data, the biggest contributors to the rise to trillions would be stablecoins and real estate ownership.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does RWA value count as real value?<\/h2>\n<p>The increase in tokenized real-world assets has long-been an ongoing debate in the crypto community, specifically about whether their full value can truly be represented on a blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2025, the surge in total value locked to a new all-time high sparked an argument between several crypto figureheads. Joe Carlasare, an attorney from SmithAmundsen and long-time Bitcoin advocate, argued that real-world assets cannot be represented on-chain in a complete sense. <\/p>\n<p>According to Carlasare, what exists on the blockchain is really just a digital record or an IOU of the real asset. The record on-chain shows that the holder has a claim to an asset, but not the asset itself.<\/p>\n<p>In response, Co-Founder and former CEO of CoinRoutes, Dave Weisberger said that although physical asset\u2019s value cannot be transferred on-chain, the title to said asset could be. Which means that the provenance of the asset can be proven with on-chain ownership rather than a piece of paper.<\/p>\n<p>Carlasare disagrees, saying that the issue of titles can be solved without a blockchain. He believed that it is still necessary for courts to verify the value of real-world assets because essentially the value represented on-chain is just a promise that still needs to have court enforcement to be fully realized.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RWA has reached a milestone, reaching a record-high total value amounting to $29 billion.
