Jack Tan, co-founder of WOO X, outlined key trends shaping the crypto market in a note to crypto.news.
Tan discussed the booming expansion of real-world assets and recent sell-offs within the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem. Tan pointed to the accelerating adoption of RWAs, with projections estimating the sector could reach $16.1 trillion by 2030.
“This showcases the long-term potential of asset tokenization,” Tan wrote in a note. “As the RWA sector matures, key projects such as ONDO, LINK, MKR, and PLUME—which focus on tokenization, liquidity, and decentralized finance infrastructure—are well-positioned to benefit from this growth.”
Institutional interest is rising, exemplified by BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, which has grown from an initial $100 million USDC in March 2024 to over $1 billion, capturing 30% of the tokenized U.S. Treasuries market.
Beyond Treasuries, RWAs are expanding into new financial products.
Ondo Finance recently partnered with Mastercard to integrate its OUSG bond fund into Mastercard’s Multi-Token Network, enabling crypto payments to interact with traditional financial systems.
Meanwhile, Coinbase is reportedly collaborating with Swiss tokenization firm Backed to launch tokenized stocks, such as “wbCOIN,” on its layer-2 network, Base, according to Tan. These developments reflect increasing institutional confidence in blockchain-based financial instruments.
BSC ecosystem faces sell-offs
The BSC ecosystem has seen increased liquidity in projects like MUBARAK, PALU, ATM, and Broccoli.
However, investor confidence was shaken after crypto influencer Wolfy_XBT was accused of triggering panic through aggressive sell-offs of BNB (BNB) Card-related tokens, Tan wrote. The event has fueled broader discussions about potential risks in tokenized ecosystems.
As RWAs gain traction and crypto markets respond to macroeconomic shifts, Tan stressed that projects such as ONDO (ONDO), LINK (LINK), Maker (MKR), and PLUME are well-positioned to capitalize on the evolving landscape.
