RWA Tokens and AI Agents Fuel Web3 Growth in July

Real-world assets (RWA) tokens led the way in July with a median return of 10.7%, according to CryptoRank's data.

The on-chain RWA value reached $36.83 billion across 38 networks, with over 1.36 million holders. This surge in RWA adoption is being driven by AI agents that connect wallets, APIs, and stablecoins, accelerating DeFi and token adoption.

AI agents are turning software into active market participants with transaction authority, but it's still unclear if returns will track institutional adoption or purely market movement.
