Interest in Real World Assets (RWA) within the cryptocurrency sector is experiencing a notable upswing, reflecting broader trends in the digital economy.
Various countries are increasingly exploring how traditional assets can be integrated into the blockchain ecosystem, with differing levels of engagement and enthusiasm.
The concept of Real World Assets (RWA) is rapidly gaining traction in the cryptocurrency sector, with the United States leading the charge, accounting for 14.8% of global interest in 2024, according to a new CoinGecko report.
This aligns with its historical dominance in crypto trends, previously focusing on small-cap tokens and AI-related projects. Ondo Finance (ONDO) has emerged as a key player, capturing nearly half of U.S. interest in RWA, alongside significant attention for Goldfinch (GFI) and Maple (MPL).
Indonesia and Türkiye follow, representing 10.1% and 8.0% of global interest, respectively, with both nations showing a broader fascination with the RWA narrative rather than specific protocols. Southeast Asia is also notable, with Vietnam (2.9%), the Philippines (2.2%), and Singapore (1.2%) in the mix. India, at 6.3%, stands out as the only South Asian country in the top rankings.
In South America, Brazil holds a 3.3% share of RWA interest, ranking ninth globally, while Nigeria leads Africa with a 1.5% share, placing 16th overall. In Europe, the UK (5.6%) and France (3.9%) are at the forefront, with several EU countries appearing in the top 20.
Collectively, these top 20 nations account for 81.8% of global attention toward crypto Real World Assets, signaling a significant shift in how traditional assets are being integrated into the digital economy. The growing interest could reshape investment strategies and regulatory landscapes in the crypto market.
