【BlockBeats】The market for real-world assets (RWA) has reached a new milestone. The latest data from January 12 shows that the total market capitalization of RWA excluding stablecoins has surpassed $20 billion, hitting a new all-time high. This growth fully reflects the market’s continued optimism about bringing traditional assets onto the blockchain.

What’s even more noteworthy is the performance of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds — this segment has expanded to $8.87 billion, becoming the dominant player in the RWA field. Investor demand for blockchain-based government debt certificates continues to strengthen.

On the institutional side, BlackRock’s BUILD fund currently has a market value of $1.73 billion, demonstrating traditional financial giants’ deep involvement in the digital asset space. From stablecoins and government bonds to fund products, asset tokenization is building a multi-layered market ecosystem.

20 billion? Traditional finance really can't sit still now. --- Government bond tokenization has already reached 8.8 billion, it feels like rewriting financial history. --- BlackRock is directly jumping in, this thing is becoming credible. --- Wait, can this tokenized government bond really beat inflation? Or is it just another hype? --- RWA is booming like this, but I still feel like I haven't gotten on board. --- BUILD Fund has 1.73 billion, who can stop the institutional rush for subscriptions? --- The question is, can retail investors truly participate in this wave of benefits, or is it just another game for institutions? --- With a breakthrough of 20 billion, will there be another crash afterward? --- Talking about putting government bonds on the chain sounds simple, but how does it work in practice... --- BlackRock's entry is different; the actions of the big players are market signals.

Wow, the on-chain national debt has already exceeded 8.8 billion, traditional finance is really panicking. BUILD is almost worth 2 billion in market cap, BlackRock's move is truly impressive. RWA chosen one? Or the next FOMO trap? Let's wait and see. 88 billion in government bond tokens, that number looks outrageous... Is it real or fake? Just watching and waiting to see who takes the final baton.

BlackRock is already working on RWA, while I'm still reviewing my failed arbitrage... I really should learn how to elegantly transfer money onto the chain.

The tokenization of government bonds has already reached 20 billion, but I still feel like I'm playing with a 9.9 yuan air coin. Feeling a bit frustrated.

20 billion breakthrough! The tokenization of government bonds has really taken off. BlackRock is also lurking here. Traditional finance entering the market is truly not just a gimmick.

The tokenization of government bonds has surpassed 8.8 billion, and traditional finance is really starting to sit up and take notice. BlackRock has also entered, indicating that this is not just hype but a genuine financial revolution. 200 billion is just the beginning; let's see how it soars from here. On-chain government bonds are much more reliable than speculative coins, finally some big funds are doing serious work. BUILD Fund has 1.7 billion, and institutional intuition is indeed sharp. If this wave of RWA takes off, it will be many times more reliable than those aircoin projects before. A solid future for finance, finally no longer just a concept. Tokenization reaching a hundred billion so quickly, and we're still debating whether it's the next big trend... International AI, DeFi, all those are sidelined; RWA is the real path connecting traditional finance.

Really? Government bonds are now on the blockchain? BlackRock's move really seems to be aiming to dominate the entire sector.
