Ethereum and ZKsync dominate as $22 billion worth of RWA assets undergo tokenization in the market
In the rapidly evolving world of blockchain technology, two key players have emerged as the undisputed leaders in real asset tokenization: Mavryk Network and MultiBank Group. These platforms are revolutionizing the financial landscape by democratizing access to various assets like real estate and other high-value real assets [1].
Mavryk Network, a Tezos-based Layer 1 blockchain, and its partner MultiBank Group, utilize the MRC-30 tokenization standard and have executed real estate deals worth around $3 billion [1]. This innovation enables fractional ownership, lowering the entry barrier for smaller investors and facilitating liquidity and trading.
Regulatory alignment is a critical aspect of these platforms' success. They focus on conforming to frameworks such as the GENIUS Act and MiCA, ensuring compliance and fostering institutional confidence, which is essential for mass adoption and scaling the market [1]. With a projected next-wave growth of $10 billion by late 2025, these platforms are poised to significantly expand the current $24 billion valuation of the real asset tokenization market [1].
Mavryk Network and MultiBank Group prioritize execution over speculation, providing scalable infrastructure that supports real-world asset liquidity rather than purely tokenomics-driven models [1][4]. This approach helps mainstream financial institutions participate more actively in tokenized assets.
The global asset tokenization market is rapidly expanding, with an anticipated value of $1.244 trillion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 43.36% [2][4]. Major financial institutions like Goldman Sachs, BNY Mellon, BlackRock, and Fidelity are actively tokenizing money-market funds and other financial instruments, enhancing efficiency and accessibility [2][5].
AI-powered platforms such as Zoniqx are innovating by integrating AI into tokenization workflows, automating compliance, document verification, and investor onboarding, further lowering friction and risk for investors and issuers in the tokenization ecosystem [5].
Ethereum remains the leading blockchain network in terms of the number and value of tokenized real-world assets, supporting over 300 RWA projects valued at around $7.5 billion [3]. Ethereum's robust and flexible infrastructure, coupled with its ability to run complex smart contracts, has allowed for the development of platforms for issuance, trading, and management of tokenized assets.
Another significant player in the real asset tokenization market is ZKsync, a scalable solution compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) [6]. ZKsync offers greater privacy in transactions, which is important for certain types of assets and investors [6]. It also processes transactions faster and more economically due to its use of zero-knowledge rollup (ZK-rollup) technology [6].
In summary, Mavryk Network and MultiBank Group lead the institutional-grade real asset tokenization market by enabling fractional ownership, ensuring regulatory compliance, and providing scalable, liquidity-focused infrastructure. This is helping democratize access to real estate and other asset classes, catalyzing growth in the market and increasing participation from top financial institutions and integrating AI technologies to innovate tokenization further [1][2][5].
