The question of RWA backing is not primarily a technology question but is subject to other considerations, industry executives say.
The real-world asset (RWA) market has emerged as one of the key trends in the cryptocurrency industry in 2025, with companies increasingly jumping on the tokenization bandwagon.
Although some studies pointed to a massive 260% increase of RWAs this year, some industry executives have questioned the magnitude of the reported market size, arguing that the sector is still too nascent and relatively small.
Industry executives told Cointelegraph that slow adoption may stem from outdated regulations, limited access and widespread misunderstandings of how tokenized assets are backed.
