BlockBeats news: On January 2nd, Solana recorded record real-world asset (RWA) tokenization activity by the end of 2025, injecting new momentum for development in 2026. Data shows that the scale of RWA on the Solana blockchain increased by nearly 10% month-over-month in December, reaching a new high of $873 million, while the number of RWA holders grew by 18.4% to 126,000 people.
Currently, RWA (Real-World Assets) on Solana are primarily composed of U.S. Treasury-related assets, including BlackRock's BUIDL fund (approximately $255 million) and Ondo's dollar-yielding products (around $176 million). At the same time, tokenized stocks and institutional funds from companies like Tesla and NVIDIA are also accelerating their deployment on Solana.
Solana is expected to become the third blockchain after Ethereum (around $12.3 billion) and BNB Chain (over $2 billion) to surpass a $10 billion total value locked (TVL) in real-world assets (RWA).
Bitwise recently pointed out that if the U.S. passes the CLARITY Act related to crypto market structure by 2026, the tokenization wave will accelerate, and Solana could become one of the biggest beneficiaries. Although the price of SOL is still below its historical high, a spot Solana ETF has already been approved, attracting approximately $765 million in inflows. Additionally, Western Union has chosen Solana to build a stablecoin settlement platform, which is planned to launch in the first half of 2026, further strengthening Solana's institutional adoption outlook.
