RWA Trading Volumes Skyrocket 220% Amid Tokenization Boom

RWA (Real-World Asset) trading is surging in 2026, driven by a tokenization boom. CoinShares and Token Terminal found that RWA spot trading volumes rose about 220% between Q2 2025 and Q2 2026.

Meanwhile, decentralized exchange spot volumes fell roughly 70%, showing that tokenized assets are gaining traction despite weaker crypto trading.

The report also highlights a broader shift in how tokenized assets are being used. Investors can now deploy certain yield-bearing products as collateral while continuing to earn income.

This structure gives investors an additional capital-efficiency advantage, allowing them to use the same capital elsewhere.
