The Real World Asset (RWA) market is poised for significant expansion by 2026, driven by efforts from Ondo Finance and others to achieve parity with Bitcoin. The push is supported by clearer stablecoin regulations and diversification into private credit and real estate, which are attracting increased institutional interest. Despite advancements in 24/7 settlement and programmable cash flows, RWA tokens have underperformed compared to Bitcoin in market performance. However, the sector's potential for growth remains strong as it continues to evolve and attract attention from major financial players.
