On October 10, Ethena Labs announced that it has determined the allocation of the reserve fund for RWA, with four entities including BlackRock BUIDL and Sky selected for the reserve fund RWA allocation. As more institutions enter the RWA tokenization space and the adoption trend of RWA Tokenization increases in financial centers such as the United States, Europe, and Asia, the RWA sector has become a market hotspot.
Recently, Matrixdock, which issued the gold token XAUm, has gained significant market attention as an important participant in the RWA sector by promoting the tokenization of commodities. This article will analyze Matrixdock's layout in the RWA sector and how Matrixdock is driving further integration of traditional finance.
Market Outlook for the RWA Sector
Currently, the total market value of the RWA sector is approximately $185 billion, with stablecoins dominating, holding over $170 billion in market share, while the value of on-chain tokenized securities and government bonds is only $2.2 billion (data from Tren Finance).
According to a research report released by Tren Finance, some of the largest financial institutions and business consulting firms predict that by 2030, the RWA tokenization industry could grow more than 50 times. Most companies predict that the market size in the RWA field could reach between $4 trillion and $30 trillion. If the RWA sector achieves a median forecast of about $10 trillion, its value would increase more than 54 times compared to the current level.

As the adoption of the crypto market increases, the RWA sector expands into subfields, and products gradually innovate, the RWA tokenization industry will cover more global financial markets. Based on the convenience and transparency of crypto technology, the popularization of the RWA Token field may change and accelerate the establishment of decentralized financial markets, gradually revolutionizing how people invest, trade, and hold assets.
Matrixdock's Bold Attempts in the RWA Sector
In the context of governments and regulatory agencies working to address the legal and compliance issues of crypto assets, traditional financial institutions are also continuously exploring on-chain attempts. Matrixdock continues to enhance its connection with RWA by bringing premium assets on-chain through blockchain technology and aims to bridge the existing gap between DeFi and TradFi, striving to become "the preferred platform for users to invest in on-chain RWA."
Founded at the end of 2022, Matrixdock boldly launched Asia's first U.S. Treasury token "STBT" in February 2023, riding the wave of U.S. interest rate hikes and quickly becoming a star project in the RWA sector ("Asia's highest historical locked value project").
With the arrival of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut cycle and increasing geopolitical uncertainties, gold, as a typical safe-haven asset, has seen a significant increase in market demand, making holding gold a popular investment method in the current context. Matrixdock officially launched the first product of its precious metal token series, the gold token XAUm, in September 2024, tokenizing commodities and providing investors with diversified new investment options.
Overall, by accurately grasping market trends and understanding investor needs, and integrating financial innovation on a complete infrastructure, Matrixdock has carefully selected high-quality assets that meet market demands in the RWA tokenization sector, balancing short-term market selection and long-term value selection.
Focusing on Product Transparency and Market Liquidity to Inject New Energy into the RWA Sector
The gold token XAUm launched by Matrixdock combines transparency and security, and has made innovative attempts in market liquidity, striving to broaden the boundaries of RWA tokenization products.
In terms of transparency, Matrixdock has made numerous attempts with XAUm, including transparent product design, strictly adhering to the principle of "1 XAUm = 1 troy ounce (toz) of gold," allowing users to easily verify the product's logic and the corresponding amount of physical gold. Proof of underlying assets is publicly available, allowing users to see the asset support behind XAUm in real-time, and ensuring that "new XAUm will only be minted when the underlying assets increase" by managing the minted asset pool.
At the same time, Matrixdock will have regular audits of assets conducted by authoritative auditing firms, providing audit reports and related certifications. This ensures the safety of traditional funds' assets to the greatest extent while seeking common ground and differences between crypto finance and traditional finance.
In terms of market liquidity, XAUm has already supported native deployment and unified management on the Ethereum mainnet and BNB Chain, allowing investors to use it across different blockchain networks. Multiple active ecological networks, including the Bitcoin ecosystem, are also considered for future development directions.
Conclusion
The development of the RWA sector not only brings more liquidity to traditional financial markets but also serves as a pioneer for the popularization of crypto assets, working alongside BTC ETFs to promote the widespread adoption of crypto assets. As a pioneer in the Asian RWA sector, Matrixdock's launch of the gold token XAUm provides high-standard quality assets for the crypto market and contributes to the development of the global RWA ecosystem.
