A16z crypto reported that tokenized real-world assets have “surged 10x in two years, now topping $30B.” The headline figure is accurate and significant. The chart behind, generated by RWA.xyz data, shows something the headline number does not: the growth is accelerating, not plateauing. The steepest growth in the RWA chart is the most recent growth, which means the market is not normalizing after a spike: it is accelerating into a larger structure.
