RWA Bi-Weekly Report (Feb 15–24): Asset Holders See First Notable Decline; SEC Explores "Progressive" Regulatory Path for Tokenized Securities
According to rwa.xyz, the total Distributed Asset Value (DAV) of RWA grew from $24.14B to $25.07B, a 3.85% increase. However, the number of asset holders fell significantly from 842.2k to 710.4k, a drop of 15.65%. U.S. Treasury tokenizations saw the largest growth, rising 7% to $10.6B. Stablecoin holders increased by 9.02M, indicating broader adoption despite stablecoin market cap remaining flat.
Key regulatory developments include the U.S. SEC clarifying a 2% haircut rule for broker-dealers' payment stablecoin holdings. The SEC is also considering an "innovation exemption" to allow limited trading of tokenized securities on new platforms. Additionally, a clarification was issued that RWA assets based in Hong Kong fall outside mainland China’s strict regulatory scope.
In project updates, Ondo Finance integrated tokenized stocks like SPYon and QQQon into DeFi lending markets via Chainlink oracles. MSX (MyStonks) updated its platform and adopted a one-sided trading fee model to improve user experience. OneChain announced a $67M Series A funding round to develop institutional-grade RWA infrastructure.
Overall, the market shows continued growth in low-risk, liquid assets like Treasuries, with regulatory bodies moving toward structured yet adaptive frameworks for tokenized real-world assets.
