3 blockchains driving the wave of tokenization of real assets in 2025

The process of tokenizing real-world assets (RWA) is developing strongly, with Solana, Base, and Arbitrum emerging as the main drivers in 2025. These three chains recorded over 800% growth in encrypted assets, expanding into areas such as investment funds, stablecoins, collectibles, and even game items. Solana currently has 81 projects, while Arbitrum supports 101 types of encrypted assets.

Large organizations such as BlackRock, Securitize, and Wormhole are leading issuers, with cryptocurrency investment funds reaching 7.7 billion USD in assets under management. Solana particularly leverages experience from NFTs to expand into diverse RWA markets, including Pokémon cards and Steam items. Although Ethereum still plays a dominant role, these alternative networks offer low costs, good integration, and promise a booming future for on-chain financial products.
