At the same time, tokenized treasuries were the segment that saw the biggest growth, rising 80% year to date to $7.31 billion.<\/p>\n<p>BlackRock\u2019s BUIDL fund, which offers tokenized U.S. Treasuries, leads among all RWA issuers, with $2.397 billion in value.

For instance, private credit was typically available only to select banks and institutional investors. With RWAs, companies can look for funding from a broader range of investors.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The same goes for tokenized U.S. Treasuries, which offer an easy way for foreign investors to access this market. This enables Wall Street to grow the markets for its services, which is why many companies are jumping in. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, stablecoins could be considered the biggest RWA segment. Technically tokenized cash, the total value of all stablecoins is currently $266.74 billion. This would make stablecoins over 90% of the RWA market if they were counted as RWA assets. Still, due to their different utility, they are usually not. <\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stablecoins still account for 90% of all RWAs, but other segments are growing quickly.
