> **Visual Note:** An infographic titled "MOST PEOPLE TRACK RWA TOKENIZATION BY MARKET CAP. = THAT'S THE WRONG NUMBER." discussing real-world asset tokenization in DeFi, mentioning projects like Morpho, AAVE, Pendle, Maker, Arbitrum, Chainlink, Centrifuge, and Aave Horizon, with stats showing $33.5B on-chain RWA value (up 3X in 12 months) but only ~10% actually working inside DeFi.

The real question: how much of it actually works inside DeFi?

Right now, the gap is enormous.

On-chain RWA value hit ~$33.5B by July 2026, up from ~$11.8B a year ago, tripling in 12 months. Incredible"
