Real World Assets on Aptos: Unlocking the Future of On-Chain Finance

Aptos is now home to more than $540 million in tokenized assets, making it one of the largest venues for on-chain real-world assets (RWAs) and a Top 3 chain for RWAs. Tokenizing assets such as credit portfolios, real estate and money-market funds brings liquidity, auditability and programmability to previously siloed financial products, and there’s no better place to unlock this reality than on Aptos.
Why? Money Moves Better on Aptos. And it’s got the tech stack to back it up, offering:
-
High-throughput execution suitable for institutional transaction volumes
-
More secure guarantees when compared to Solidity/EVM-based chains, thanks to the Move programming language that underpins Aptos DeFi
-
Built-in compliance options offered via Aptos' Fungible Asset Token Standard
-
Finality in <1 s and low fees, reducing settlement cost
-
Mature developer tooling and APIs for rapid product launches
RWAs on Aptos
Aptos is rapidly emerging as a hub for real-world assets, with over a dozen live tokenized products from six providers. Backed by traditional finance (TradFi) giants and crypto innovators alike, these RWAs bring institutional-quality assets directly on-chain.
At the forefront is PACT Protocol, which is ushering the largest suite of on-chain RWA programs on Aptos by enabling fintech lenders, institutional investors and capital market participants to issue, manage and securitize loans directly on-chain. Just recently, PACT added $80M in tokenized assets, bringing its on-chain footprint well above $300M.
TradFi leaders are also choosing Aptos:
-
BlackRock’s BUIDL fund is the largest tokenized fund by assets under management (AUM) globally
-
Franklin Templeton’s BENJI is among the largest tokenized funds by market cap and the first to leverage blockchain technology for transaction processing
-
Securitize, in partnership with Apollo, delivers diversified private credit via the ACRED fund
What’s more, emerging platforms are pushing the RWA growth on Aptos:
-
Libre Capital offers a range of tokenized assets—from money markets to private credit.
-
Ondo Finance offers USDY, a regulated yield-bearing token designed for DeFi-native users seeking stable U.S. dollar returns
With each new real-world asset, Aptos is demonstrating what’s possible when real-world financial infrastructure meets on-chain execution.
The Broader Aptos Asset Landscape
While RWAs represent a significant portion of Aptos, they're part of a comprehensive digital asset ecosystem that enhances their utility and appeal. Aptos isn't just about RWAs; it’s built to unlock better money movement.
-
Stablecoins: On-chain representations of fiat currencies, providing stability and liquidity that complement RWA strategies.
-
Bitcoin DeFi (BTCFi): Wrapped and bridged BTC enables Bitcoin liquidity in DeFi and creates new opportunities for cross-asset strategies.
-
Liquid Staking Tokens(LSTs): Unlocking staked capital for use in DeFi allows investors to earn staking rewards while maintaining liquidity.
-
A Robust DeFi Ecosystem: Lending, borrowing, trading, and yield strategies—all composable with RWAs to create sophisticated financial products. This interconnected ecosystem means RWA holders can leverage their assets in ways impossible in traditional finance, from using tokenized real estate as collateral for loans to earning additional yield through DeFi protocols.
Aptos is at the forefront of bringing real-world assetson-chain. Whether you're an investor, developer or institution, the Aptos RWA ecosystem offers unprecedented access, transparency and opportunity in the new era of decentralized finance.
The future of RWAs isn’t just tokenized—it’s composable, borderless and live on Real World Aptos.
