Stobox and REAL Finance Join Forces to Revolutionize RWA Infrastructure

The Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization market is experiencing exponential growth, rising from $85 million in 2020 to $24 billion in June 2025, a 308-fold increase in three years according to the latest reports from RedStone, Gauntlet, and RWA.xyz. In this context of radical transformation of financial markets, Stobox and REAL Finance have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore new technical and commercial synergies between regulated tokenization platforms and emerging blockchain networks.

An Exploding RWA Market

The RWA tokenization sector currently represents a market of over $230 billion including stablecoins, with growth of approximately 69% since 2024. McKinsey’s most conservative projections indicate a $2 trillion market, while Standard Chartered projects up to $30 trillion by 2034. This disparity in forecasts illustrates the uncertainty, but also the immense potential of this sector.

BlackRock launched its BUIDL fund in March 2024, while a consortium including Goldman Sachs and BNP Paribas began a pilot project on the Canton network in July 2024. These major institutional movements validate the sector’s growing maturity and foreshadow massive adoption.

Stobox: A Regulated Leader in Tokenization

Stobox has established itself as a major player in the RWA ecosystem with over 7 years of operational experience. The company has tokenized over $500 million in assets and serves more than 100 clients worldwide. In 2024 alone, Stobox delivered tokenization solutions to 18 commercial clients focused on RWA.

Stobox 4 Infrastructure: A Technological Revolution

The launch of Stobox 4 Beta in November 2024 marks a strategic turning point. This blockchain platform combines cutting-edge technology with regulatory compliance standards, using Fireblocks’ Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology for non-custodial wallets.

Key components of the Stobox ecosystem include:

• Stobox Platform 4: Infrastructure for issuance and management of digital securities
• Stobox DID: Decentralized identity framework adapted to regulatory compliance
• STV3 Protocol: A proprietary token standard optimized for real-world assets, supporting a data-rich format allowing integration of multiple data streams directly into the token
• Onboarding Framework: Proven methodology for secure project launches

Enhanced Regulatory Compliance

In December 2024, Stobox obtained its VASP (Virtual Asset Service Provider) license in Poland, enabling it to offer regulated tokenization services in the European Union. This license authorizes Stobox to:

• Provide tokenization services in the EU
• Offer digital asset storage and management solutions
• Facilitate compliant transactions according to strict AML/KYC standards

REAL Finance: An Innovative Blockchain for RWA

REAL Finance is developing a Layer-1 blockchain infrastructure specialized in real asset tokenization, built on Cosmos Tendermint with a dual-validator architecture. The platform is distinguished by three pillars integrated directly into its consensus mechanism:

Revolutionary Three-Pillar Architecture

1. Trust: Ensured by on-chain insurance and a slashing mechanism to penalize malicious validator behavior
2. Transparency: Assets are rated according to their risk with clear grades (A-F) integrated into token metadata
3. Efficiency: Elimination of intermediaries and native asset fractionalization

Specialized Business Validator Network

The REAL network relies on three key types of business validators:

• Tokenization Companies: Integrate real-world assets with staking requirements, ensuring technical and legal accuracy. Stobox fits perfectly into this ecosystem as a leading tokenization company
• Risk Rating Companies: Assign a transparent probability of default (PD) score
• Insurance Companies: Provide integrated on-chain insurance, backed by stablecoin stakes to ensure robust investor protection

Partnership Synergies and Opportunities

Potential areas of cooperation between Stobox and REAL include cross-chain deployment of tokenized assets, shared liquidity strategies including staking or yield models, joint education and business development, as well as support for asset issuers seeking to access DeFi-based infrastructure.

Envisioned Technical Integration

REAL has also explored granting a subsidy to support future integration of Stobox infrastructure into its network, subject to additional developments and validations. This integration would enable:

• Interoperability between the two ecosystems
• Access to increased liquidity for tokenized assets
• Development of new use cases combining regulated tokenization and DeFi

Impact on the Global RWA Ecosystem

This partnership comes at a critical moment when the tokenized RWA market could reach $9.43 trillion by 2030 with a CAGR of 72.8%. The collaboration between an established regulated tokenization platform and an innovative RWA-focused blockchain could catalyze institutional adoption.

Challenges and Future Prospects

Regulatory and Technical Challenges

Despite the enormous potential, several challenges persist:

• Regulatory fragmentation between jurisdictions
• Custody and digital asset security issues
• Interoperability between different blockchains
• The need for education of traditional investors

Market Opportunities

Identified opportunities include:

• Private credit tokenization, currently representing 58% of the RWA market with approximately $14 billion in tokenized value
• Tokenized US Treasury bonds, constituting 34% market share ($8.2 billion)
• Tokenized real estate, with projections potentially reaching $3 trillion by 2030
• Carbon credits and other sustainable assets

Toward a New Era of Tokenized Finance

The partnership between Stobox and REAL Finance represents much more than a simple technical collaboration. It symbolizes the convergence between regulated tokenization infrastructure and decentralized blockchain innovation. With Stobox 4 now integrating Chainlink CCIP for secure cross-chain transactions and REAL developing its business validator ecosystem, this alliance could establish new standards for the RWA industry.

As the RWA tokenization market continues its exponential growth, strategic partnerships like this will be essential to building the infrastructure necessary for a digital economy worth several trillion dollars. The year 2025 is shaping up to be a decisive turning point, marking the transition from isolated pilot projects to large-scale strategic deployments.
