The Real World Asset (RWA) sector valuation reached $34.4 billion on October 18, marking an 11.6% increase with a $3.9 billion rise in total deposits over the last 30 days.
- The U.S. government shutdown and gold's rally above $4,200 have driven RWA inflows despite a weak crypto market.
- The crypto market saw significant liquidations totaling $20.2 billion, impacting prices negatively.
- Tokenized debt, commodities, and private credit products continued attracting inflows as investors seek yield stability.
U.S. Treasuries and Gold-Backed Assets Lead Inflows
- Private credit is the largest RWA category, making up 51.4% of the market at $17.3 billion.
- U.S. public debt and commodities accounted for nearly half of the $3.9 billion in new deposits.
- Tokenized U.S. debt instruments increased from $7.5 billion to $8.3 billion since October's start.
- Commodities-backed RWAs rose from $2.1 billion to $3.2 billion due to gold’s price surge.
- U.S. Treasuries and Commodities saw $1.9 billion in inflows, representing 51% of newly tokenized assets.
