Tokenized real-world assets are one of the fastest-growing corners of crypto, and as of early June 2026, Ethereum held approximately $16.6 billion in distributed tokenized RWA value, representing 52.85% of the entire on-chain RWA market, according to data from rwa.xyz.
The numbers behind the dominance
By early August 2026, the total distributed RWA value across all chains had surged to $38 billion. Ethereum’s slice grew to roughly $17.3 billion, though its percentage share dipped to around 45-46% as competing chains absorbed a portion of the overall market expansion.
Year-over-year growth for Ethereum-based RWAs reached 315%. The nearest competitors are not particularly close. BNB Chain reported $3.6 billion in RWA value in the June snapshot. Solana came in at $2.5 billion.
