Total value locked across real-world-asset (RWA) protocols has reached $7.3 billion, marking a more than 200% increase from a year ago, with government securities protocols capturing an expanding share of the market. Usual Protocol and Hashnote USYC lead the sector with approximately $1.48 billion TVL each.
Hashnote is a regulated digital asset management platform offering innovative investment strategies with transparency, while Usual Protocol is a decentralized stablecoin issuer that tokenizes real-world assets and redistributes value to users through governance tokens.
The composition of RWA TVL has shifted significantly toward government securities, which now represent approximately two-thirds of total RWA TVL, up from 36% a year ago.
This shift suggests increasing confidence in regulated, government-backed digital assets and indicates a maturing market as protocols focus on traditional financial instruments.
Market dynamics are being influenced by potential policy developments in the United States with President Trump's reported plans to issue an executive order making crypto a "national policy priority" post-inauguration. There have also been proposals to create crypto advisory councils, which could provide the industry with greater representation in policy discussions. These developments may further legitimize RWA protocols, particularly those dealing with government securities.
The sector's growth trajectory warrants attention as the substantial increase in TVL suggests growing institutional acceptance of blockchain-based financial instruments. With so much focus on government securities, it may indicate a preference for lower-risk, regulated assets in the current market.
