DIA's deep dive into RWA markets reveals a stark reality check.​

While the industry projects trillions in tokenized assets, the current on-chain data tells a different story.​ The gap between ambitious forecasts and actual market size is larger than most realize.​

Key findings:

  • Current RWA market significantly smaller than projections
  • Major disconnect between hype and on-chain reality
  • Data-driven analysis challenges industry assumptions

This comprehensive analysis examines where tokenized real-world assets actually stand today, cutting through the noise to provide concrete market insights.​

The research builds on DIA's extensive RWA oracle infrastructure, which now supports 1,000+ real-world asset feeds across major blockchain networks with complete transparency.​
