Solana Catches Up to Competitors as Tokenized Assets Soar 140% in 2025

Tokenized assets on Solana crossed over $418 million, rising 140.6% year-to-date and narrowing the gap with leading competitors in the space, according to a recent report from Messari.

Solana’s growth more than doubled the broader real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market in 2025, which expanded by 62.4% during the same period. Solana now hosts a variety of RWA tokenization projects, with assets spanning from tokenized stocks and US treasuries to institutional funds onchain.

“Solana’s appeal stems from its high throughput, near-zero transaction costs, and robust developer ecosystem,” Matthew Nay, a research analyst at Messari, writes in the report.

According to analytics platform RWA.xyz, Solana holds 3.9% of the overall RWA tokenization market as of Sunday. The network ranks fourth among blockchains, behind Ethereum, which holds 58.4% of the RWA market share, followed by ZKsync Era (17.2%), and Aptos (4%).

The two largest non-stablecoin RWA protocols on Solana are Ondo, via its U.S. Dollar Yield Fund, and ONe, through its institutional fund. Together, they account for $277 million in tokenized real-world assets on the network.

Ondo’s fund recorded $2.7 million in cross-chain trading volume over the past 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. A portion of that activity generates fees that flow back to host blockchains like Solana.

According to Token Terminal, Solana has generated $3.9 million in revenue over the past 30 days. Leading the RWA space, Ethereum has generated revenue of $15.9 million over the same period.
