It signals “extreme greed” as optimism sweeps through the market.</p><h2 id="header-0">RWA Momentum Driven by Ripple and Ondo</h2><p>Significant industry developments have fueled the resurgence of the RWA sector.

This tokenization offers institutional investors easier access to tokenized assets.</p><p>Meanwhile, Ondo Finance has integrated LayerZero’s interoperability protocol. It enables seamless cross-chain transfers of its USDY tokenized U.S. Treasury product across blockchains such as Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Mantle. These initiatives highlight the RWA sector’s growing importance in bridging traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi).</p><p>Outlier Ventures also launched its second RWA Base Camp accelerator.

However, not all tokens followed this upward trend as <a href="https://alvara.xyz/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Alvara Protocol</a> ($ALVA) fell by 12.8%. It marks a rare setback in an otherwise bullish week.</p><p>The RWA market hits new heights and CoinMarketCap’s data paints an optimistic picture. The sector solidifies its role as a key player in the crypto ecosystem. The tokenization efforts are expanding and real-world assets are finding their way onto blockchains. The line between traditional and digital finance continues to blur, paving the way for a transformative future.</p>
