1.2 RWA: Bridging On-Chain Economies with Physical Assets

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization leverages blockchain to digitally represent tangible assets—such as real estate, fine art, and commodities—triggering a seismic shift in asset management. Closed and illiquid markets are transforming into open, programmable, and globally accessible digital ecosystems.

Market Growth Outlook

• In H1 2025, tokenized RWA market size reached $23.39 billion, marking a 49% increase

  since January—outpacing traditional finance growth

• Boston Consulting Group forecasts over $16 trillion in global tokenized assets by 2030—approaching the size of the U.S. GDP

• Benchmark asset classes include U.S. Treasuries and infrastructure assets, valued for their predictable yields and regulatory transparency

Four Pillars Driving the RWA Revolution

These interconnected forces are building a new global digital asset management ecosystem— open, efficient, and transparent.

Driver	Technological Implementation	Financial Value Redesign
Enhanced Liquidity	Illiquid assets → 24/7 tradable tokens	Dynamic portfolio rebalancing
Fractional Ownership	Divisible token standards	Lowering entry barriers for high-value assets (e.g., CRE, art)
Programmable Finance	Smart contract automation	Streamlined dividends, governance voting, collateral management
Global Accessibility	Borderless transactions	Geography-agnostic asset allocation (e.g., Tokyo → NY investor)

Matrix has deeply explored the forces driving innovation. Through sustained investment in technology, it has packaged advanced capabilities—fractional ownership, cross-border transactions, programmable finance—into standardized, reusable modules. This engineering- focused strategy ensures its Real World Asset (RWA) solutions are deployable and maintainable at scale.
