**BNB Chain positions itself as the leader** in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, claiming to have the most complete RWA ecosystem among blockchain networks. The announcement comes as **billions of dollars in real-world assets** have already been moved onchain across various platforms. BNB Chain is highlighting its comprehensive infrastructure and ecosystem for tokenized assets. **Key developments:** - BNB Chain releases landscape overview of RWAs on their network - Platform emphasizes its complete ecosystem approach - Builds on previous Singapore conference discussions about RWA-DeFi integration The move reflects the **growing competition** among blockchain networks to capture the expanding tokenized asset market, which has seen significant growth with over $18 billion in RWA value tokenized onchain (excluding stablecoins) as of earlier reports. BNB Chain's claim comes as the RWA sector continues attracting institutional and retail interest for bringing traditional assets like real estate, commodities, and securities onto blockchain networks.
