As a result, newer blockchains are also competing to attract established DeFi applications.<\/p>\n<p>There has been a sharp divergence between crypto-native trading activity and tokenized real-world assets over the past year. Between the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026, aggregate spot DEX volumes fell by about 70%, while RWA spot trading volumes rose roughly 220% year over year from a much smaller base. The report <a href=\"https:\/\/coinshares.com\/dk-en\/insights\/research-data\/token-terminal-hybrid-finance-q2-report\/\">said<\/a> the trend suggests tokenized asset adoption is continuing independently of broader crypto market conditions, despite slower growth in recent quarters.<\/p>\n<h2>RWA Lending Builds Steam<\/h2>\n<p>There is also a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/forget-meme-coins-tokenized-stocks-and-rwas-are-becoming-fastest-growing-categories\/\">widening<\/a> gap between overall DeFi activity and tokenized real-world assets. Between the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2026, total DeFi deposits declined by around 15% amid investor withdrawals and lower crypto asset prices.<\/p>\n<p>RWA deposits, on the other hand, across lending platforms and decentralized exchanges, more than tripled. The figures rose from $2.3 billion to $7.4 billion. This trend points to growing demand driven by the financial utility of tokenized assets rather than crypto market conditions alone.<\/p>\n<p>Ethereum remained the leading blockchain for RWA-backed lending as well, with nearly 70% of all <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/best-rwa-cryptos\/\">real-world asset<\/a> deposits allocated to lending platforms built on the network. This makes it the primary ecosystem for on-chain collateral.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Plasma ranked second, supported by Aave\u2019s expansion beyond Ethereum, while Solana\u2019s growth was largely driven by Kamino, a native lending platform focused on productive uses for RWA collateral.<\/p>\n<p>A publica\u00e7\u00e3o <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ethereum-stays-on-top-of-rwa-market-as-solana-strengthens-its-position\/\">Ethereum Stays on Top of RWA Market as Solana Strengthens Its Position<\/a> apareceu primeiro em <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ethereum continues to hold a commanding position in the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market, while Solana is emerging as the only other ecosystem to build significant spot trading activity, according to a new joint report by CoinShares and Token Terminal.
