Tokenized Real Assets Progress Despite Crypto Pullback
Almost all data confirms it: the crypto market has been slowing down for a few weeks now. Analysts nevertheless highlight a striking fact: tokenized real assets seem to be advancing. A dynamic that shows a strategic reallocation of capital within the crypto ecosystem. We tell you more in the paragraphs that follow.
In Brief
- Tokenized Treasurys have gained 1.9 billion dollars since January 2026 despite the crypto market pullback.
- Institutional tokenization advances with BlackRock and the DTCC, thus strengthening the convergence between traditional finance and crypto.
Over One Billion Dollars Injected in 2026
It could well be that some predictions about tokenized real assets have proven correct. According to data, the capitalization of tokenized US Treasurys is 8.9 billion dollars as of January 1, 2026. At the time of writing this article, it stands at 10.8 billion dollars.
Specifically, this represents:
- +1.9 billion dollars in less than two months;
- an increase of about 21% since the beginning of the year.
That’s not all! The figures also reveal a broader dynamic: the tokenized Treasurys market has multiplied by 50 since 2024. The segment was below 4 billion dollars in early 2025.
This growth occurs while the crypto market is going through a pullback phase. According to experts, this means that flows are not completely leaving the crypto ecosystem. They are redirected toward assets considered more stable.
An Institutional Crypto Infrastructure in Preparation
According to data, one player plays a key role in this expansion. It is BlackRock’s tokenized fund: the USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL). It now shows a capitalization exceeding 1.2 billion dollars.
Another strong signal appeared in December 2025: the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced the launch of an asset tokenization service, starting with US Treasurys.
This news is particularly important since the DTCC represents a major force in global finance. It processed 3.7 quadrillion dollars in volume in 2024.
In any case, the notable progress of RWAs in a few weeks suggests a structural movement. If this trend continues, they could become a central driver of the next phase of the crypto market. To be continued…
