Real-world asset (RWA) protocols are making serious waves in the DeFi ecosystem. They've climbed to the fifth-largest category by TVL, jumping from $12 billion in Q4 2024 to $17 billion at present—a notable 41% surge. This momentum shows growing institutional and retail interest in tokenized real-world assets, potentially reshaping how DeFi protocols compete for liquidity and market share.

RWA is really taking off this time, skyrocketing from 120 billion to 170 billion. Both institutions and retail investors are rushing in frantically. It feels like the competitive landscape of DeFi is about to be completely reshuffled.

RWA has indeed surged this time, skyrocketing from 12 billion to 17 billion, a 41% increase which is quite significant... Just worried that this might be another hype bubble.

RWA this wave is indeed quite aggressive, increasing from 12 to 17 by 41%... But on the other hand, how much of these numbers are actually genuine demand? The institutional entry always feels a bit like cutting leeks.
