The leap is even more significant compared to March 2023, when RWA protocols had less than $1 billion in TVL, reaching 1,054% growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tokenization represents an asset from the real world in the blockchain\u2019s digital environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/blackrock\/\">BlackRock\u2019s<\/a> tokenized money fund BUIDL leads the market with over $1.4 billion in TVL, growing 140% in the past 30 days. BUIDL is followed closely by <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/products\/makerdao\/\">MakerDAO's<\/a> RWA vault and its $1.3 billion market size despite its 30% decrease in the same period.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/ethena-labs\/\">Ethena Labs\u2019<\/a> stablecoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/ethena-labs-usdtb\/\">USDtb<\/a> is the third-largest RWA protocol by TVL, surpassing $1 billion almost three months after its launch and reaching almost $1.2 billion as of press time. USDtb\u2019s total value locked in the past month soared by 1,222%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DefiLlama head of growth Patrick Scott highlighted that most RWA protocols are tokenizing treasury bills. Yet, he believes that bonds, equities, \u201cand the entire financial markets\u201d will eventually move on-chain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Scott<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Dynamo_Patrick\/status\/1903108187420758350\">added<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;Hyper-tokenization isn\u2019t a theory, it\u2019s already happening.

As a result, nearly 76% of BlackRock\u2019s fund TVL is propelled by a DeFi application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, BUIDL could soon receive a $500 million boost from MakerDAO\u2019s Spark protocol. BlackRock, along with Centrifuge and Superstate,<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/makerdaos-spark-to-invest-500-million-in-blackrocks-buidl-fund\/\">won the Tokenization Grand Prix<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> competition, earning an investment intention from Spark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the allocation remains subject to Sky (formerly MakerDAO) governance approval, with a vote scheduled for April 3.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>RWA beats market average<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Artemis <a href=\"https:\/\/app.artemis.xyz\/home\">data<\/a>, RWA-related tokens are down 1% year-to-date.
