The Real World Asset (RWA) sector valuation reached $34.4 billion, showing an 11.6% increase and $3.9 billion rise in total deposits over the last 30 days, per RWA.xyz data.

Despite the U.S. government shutdown and Gold’s rally above $4,200, RWA inflows surged due to a flight-to-safety narrative amid broader crypto weakness.

President Trump’s tariff call on China triggered a $19 billion liquidation event on October 10, leading to the worst month for the crypto market since May. Another $1.2 billion wipeout followed on October 17, pushing Bitcoin below $104,000.

Tokenized debt, commodities, and private credit products in the Real-World Assets sector continued to attract inflows as investors sought yield stability amidst macro uncertainty.

Private credit stands as the largest RWA category at $17.3 billion, with U.S. public debt and commodities accounting for nearly half of the $3.9 billion in new deposits.

Tokenized U.S. debt instruments rose from $7.5 billion to $8.3 billion in October, reflecting accelerated tokenization of U.S. securities post the U.S. government shutdown. Commodities-backed RWAs rose from $2.1 billion to $3.2 billion following Gold’s rally to $4,200.

U.S. Treasuries and Commodities saw $1.9 billion in inflows, representing 51% of all newly tokenized assets in the last 30 days. Increased liquidity in the sector led to significant gains for token holders amidst recent crypto market turbulence.

The aggregate market cap of tokenized projects rose to $6.78 billion, gaining 8.3% intraday, outperforming the broader crypto market’s 0.6% uptick.
