Didn't realise that DeFiLlama has a dedicated page to real world assets - awesome! The most important point of this being: we're probably in a bear market and real world assets are absolutely killing it. The "countercyclical" appeal of real world assets, like tokenized versions of T bills and equities on chain, is one of the core reasons we're so bullish - liquidity is up-only as investors and users realise the incredible utility of applying the 24/7, permissionless access ideals of crypto to assets that can be used in DeFi. Brace yourself because 2026 is going to be THE most transformational year for crypto, bar none.

Gold again, Just… gold. it never Old. and this whale keeps coming back to $XAUt like it’s home base. Over the last 20 days, this guy has grabbed 8,337.65 XAUt, roughly $38.4M worth of on-chain gold. But the way it’s being done is what makes it interesting. He’s not just buying, instead actually looping. Borrowing against stable assets on Aave, pulling out $18.28M in $USDE , then rolling that straight into more gold. Rinse. Repeat. The position keeps growing without fresh capital ever really entering the picture. This wallet is building a synthetic gold stack on-chain, layer by layer, using leverage that doesn’t scream “degen” -- it whispers “conviction.” Address: 0x85220e6aa75238ba9c80353c6330ebee5142230e

This is gonna be epic https://t.co/TJBIOhtuxc

In 2025, tokenized gold saw robust growth as capital flows increasingly shifted to blockchain trading. The market cap of tokenized gold rose 177%, from $1.6 billion to $4.4 billion, accounting for nearly 25% of the total increase across the entire tokenized real‑world asset (RWA) market. The number of holders also nearly tripled, with over 115,000 new wallets. Total trading volume reached about $178 billion, making tokenized gold the world’s second‑largest liquid gold investment product. The main driver is the Tether Gold (XAUT) token, which is backed by physical gold. More and more people are choosing to trade tokenized gold over physical gold and ETFs, indicating that gold trading is gradually moving onto the blockchain.

ALPHA: Commodities Are About to Go On-Chain Everyone is fixated on tokenized T-bills like that’s the endgame. It’s not. That’s just the warm-up. The real RWA unlock is commodities. Steel. Oil. Industrial minerals. The stuff that actually runs the world. While CT is busy debating yields, Asara Group is already pushing real industrial assets onto the blockchain using Locus Chain’s serverless architecture. That part matters. No heavy infra. No clunky onchain bottlenecks. Just scalable rails built for real enterprise use. We already saw phase one with $XAUT and $PAXG. Digital gold proved the concept. Now we’re moving past store-of-value narratives into productive, industrial RWAs. This is the shift: From “tokenized money” To “tokenized production” Commodities are a $6T+ market with constant settlement, global demand, and zero room for inefficiency. Even a small slice going onchain changes everything. High-performance infra + real assets + global settlement That’s how RWAs actually scale. This isn’t hype. This is plumbing. And the best part? Most people won’t notice until it’s already everywhere. ✍️ Conclusion: Tokenized T-bills were the demo. Commodities are the real product. Watch where serious infrastructure meets real‑world demand. That’s where the next wave of value gets created. 📈
