Almost all the data confirms it: the crypto market has been slowing down for a few weeks now. Nevertheless, analysts highlight a remarkable fact: tokenized real assets seem to be moving forward. A dynamic that shows the strategic reallocation of capital within the crypto ecosystem. We will tell you more in the following paragraphs.
In short
- Tokenized treasuries have raised $1.9 billion since January 2026 despite the crypto market decline.
- Institutional tokenization is advancing with BlackRock and DTCC, strengthening the convergence between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies.
More than one trillion dollars invested in 2026
It is possible that some of the predictions about tokenized real assets turned out to be correct. According to the data, capitalization of tokenized US government bonds is $8.9 billion as of January 1, 2026. As of this writing, it is $10.8 billion.
