Stobox just published its 2026 Mid-Year RWA Report.
Here's what the data actually shows — with the uncomfortable parts included.
→ $33.5B on-chain RWA value (ex-stablecoins) — up 400% since early 2025 → ~995,000 on-chain RWA holders across 167 platforms
→ 6 asset classes now above $1B each
→ Tokenized gold: $90.7B spot volume in Q1 2026 alone — more than all of 2025
→ Tokenized equities: $15.1B spot volume in Q1 — a category that barely existed 12 months ago
→ 56% of reported RWA value sits idle — no secondary transfers, no market activity
2026 is the year the rails became regulated reality.
→ SEC settled the legal status of tokenized securities in January.
→ Nasdaq got approval to trade tokenized stocks in March.
→ FINRA licensed the first broker-dealer custody with atomic settlement in May.
→ Securitize listed on NYSE in July — the first tokenization IPO.
→ MiCA's transition ended across the EU.
→ The industry converged on a single token standard: ERC-7943.
