Solana Tokenized Assets Surge: $550M Milestone Reached
Key Takeaways
Solana's tokenized assets have surged to $550M, positioning it as the third-largest chain for Real World Assets (RWAs). The question is, can Solana truly challenge Ethereum's dominance with its scalability and cost-efficiency?
Currently, $25.50 billion is locked in real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain, marking a 6% increase over the last 30 days. Nearly $10 billion has been added in 2025 alone, signaling strong momentum in the sector.
RWAs bridge traditional assets like U.S. Treasuries, private credit, real estate, and invoices to the blockchain by tokenizing them. This convergence blends crypto with real-world yield opportunities.
Solana [SOL] is rapidly gaining traction in this domain. The network hosts 79 tokenized assets, with their total value reaching $550 million. This growth establishes Solana as the third-largest RWA chain by volume.

However, Ethereum [ETH] remains the frontrunner with $7.77 billion in RWA value and over 80,000 holders. This substantial lead reflects its mature infrastructure, making it a preferred choice for asset tokenization.
The crucial question is whether Solana’s increasing RWA activity can narrow the gap. Solana’s faster transaction speeds and lower costs provide technical advantages, but scalability will be the key to sustained growth. Platforms like Codeum help ensure the security of these assets through thorough smart contract audits.
Is Solana’s Tokenized Asset Growth a Real Threat?
Launched five years ago with the aim of being an "Ethereum killer," Solana has made significant strides, particularly in transaction throughput.
Solana currently processes 1,023 real TPS (transactions per second) based on actual on-chain activity, significantly outpacing most chains that struggle to exceed 100 TPS in real-world scenarios.
In comparison, Ethereum operates at just 16 TPS. This bottleneck impacts a network that serves as the backbone for DeFi and tokenized assets.

The impact is evident: the number of Solana's tokenized asset holders has surged by 684% over the past 30 days, reaching 58,123. This approaches Ethereum's 80,000 holders, whose growth was just 4.96% in the same period.
This divergence is notable. As Solana developers focus on RWA opportunities, leveraging the chain's fundamental strengths, Solana's tokenized assets are emerging as a legitimate competitor. This is something to watch closely. Codeum offers custom smart contract and DApp development services to help projects build securely on Solana.
