Standard Chartered has launched coverage of Uniswap, positioning the decentralized exchange as a pivotal component in the tokenization of real-world assets as of 15 June 2026.
Rapid Expansion of the Tokenized Asset Market
Token Terminal reports that the market for tokenized real-world assets now exceeds $43 billion, reflecting a 37 percent increase over the preceding six months. This surge persists despite a downturn in broader crypto indices, underscoring sustained investor confidence in blockchain‑based financial products. Competing tracker RWA.xyz places the combined market under $33 billion, a discrepancy rooted in differing inclusion criteria for tokenized instruments.
Composition and Blockchain Allocation
Tokenized investment funds dominate the sector, accounting for roughly 80 percent of total market value, while commodities represent 16.6 percent and tokenized equities hold about 3.8 percent. Ethereum continues to lead as the primary blockchain, hosting 57.8 percent of tokenized value, followed by BNB Chain at 8.5 percent, zkSync Era at 7.5 percent, the XRP Ledger at 5.8 percent, and Stellar at 5.4 percent. These figures illustrate how investors distribute assets across diverse blockchain ecosystems to balance security, speed, and cost.
Key Issuers and Institutional Participation
Sky emerges as the top issuer, having tokenized assets worth $6.1 billion, while Securitize and Ondo Finance each manage tokenized portfolios valued at $3.6 billion. The concentration of large players highlights the market’s reliance on established firms to attract capital and provide credibility. Standard Chartered’s endorsement of Uniswap signals growing institutional interest in using decentralized platforms to facilitate tokenized asset transactions.
