The tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) presents opportunities for Decentralized Finance (DeFi) users to earn yield via blockchain protocols.
As of 2025, real-world assets such as real estate and bonds are finding their way into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem powered by blockchain technology. Property, treasury bills, and invoices are on the verge of tokenization for usage in DeFi protocols.
A recent report by Ripple Labs and BCG revealed that the tokenization market could hit $19 trillion by 2033.
So, where can you access and earn from RWAs
DeFi protocols like Centrifuge, MakerDao, and Goldfinch have pioneered the integration of RWAs in their Ecosystems. For instance, MakerDao allows users to earn yield via tokenized U.S. treasury bonds, enabling them to gain exposure to such investments in a decentralized manner.
Using blockchain protocols, real data on ownership and market trends in RWAs is available on-chain for users to access their assets at all times.
With the total value locked (TVL) on RWAs projected to grow exponentially over the next decade, it could be a high time for investors to consider this emerging asset class into the future.
