Tokenized assets reached $34.01 billion, rising from below $3 billion around mid-2024. Growth was driven primarily by tokenized U.S. Treasury products, with Treasury-linked tokenized assets climbing to about $16 billion by May 2026. Commodities approached $6 billion, while asset-backed credit exceeded $3 billion. Additional expanding categories included tokenized equities, diversified credit, specialty finance, private equity, venture capital, and real estate. Institutional adoption increased as financial firms moved blockchain initiatives from testing to operational systems. Stablecoin regulatory clarity supported blockchain-based finance operations, and the GENIUS Act became law on July 18, 2025, establishing a federal framework for U.S. payment stablecoins. The platform also reported $335.17 billion in represented asset value, 815,297 asset holders, and 256.95 million stablecoin holders.
