Electric Capital reported on Monday that only 34 real-world asset (RWA) tokens have on-chain values exceeding $50 million, most of which are linked to U.S. treasuries, corporate bonds, and sovereign debt. The remaining 93% face challenges such as legal structures and integration hurdles. Risk-on assets dominate the top tier, but capital gains taxes and other barriers restrict broader adoption.

According to The Defiant, Electric Capital released a research report on Monday analyzing 501 real-world yield assets and cross-referencing them with tokenized assets exhibiting significant on-chain activity. The report found that only 34 yield assets have an on-chain size exceeding $50 million, primarily concentrated in U.S. Treasuries, private credit, corporate bonds, and non-U.S. sovereign bonds; the remaining 93% of yield sources remain blocked by seven key obstacles, including legal structures, challenges with asset-backed securities, and real-world integration issues involving commodities and computational infrastructure.
