The mainstream adoption of crypto is no longer a distant future event. We are seeing it happen daily.
First, the possible launch of a US crypto reserve. Then came the explosive rise of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
Breaking Down the Growth
RWAs are a big deal, especially in the US financial space. A recent report indicates that the total value of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds has crossed $4 billion. And at the forefront of this growth is Ondo Finance, whose total value locked (TVL) recently skyrocketed past $1 billion. This marks a 57% increase in just 30 days.

Ondo’s two main products, OUSG and USDY, have been instrumental in driving adoption:
- OUSG (Institutional-Grade Tokenized Treasuries): Grew by $165M (+61%)
- USDY (DeFi-Focused Yield-Bearing Stablecoin): Increased by $201M (+51%)
The sharp rise in TVL highlights the increasing demand for on-chain access to traditional financial assets. Interestingly, institutional investors are moving toward OUSG. And that’s because it offers regulated exposure to U.S. Treasuries. Meanwhile, USDY has become a go-to yield-generating asset in DeFi, giving users an alternative to stablecoins with higher returns.
RWAs Are Here to Stay
This surge isn’t just about Ondo Finance. It is part of a broader trend of the merging of traditional finance and blockchain. RWAs bridge both worlds. Their appeal lies in offering fractional ownership of traditionally illiquid assets. Plus, they support instant settlements.
