Ondo Hails Breakout Week For Tokenization
Ondo Finance highlights a landmark week for real-world asset tokenization, with onchain RWA value reaching $36.6 billion, holders surpassing 1 million, and BNY planning 24/7 Treasury settlement by 2027.
RWA Sector Crosses Key Milestones
Ondo $ONDO says the tokenized real-world asset sector recorded a breakout week, with two headline numbers standing out: the number of tokenized asset holders has surpassed 1 million, and total onchain RWA value has climbed to approximately $36.6 billion. The figures mark a significant step for a market that has grown rapidly in 2026. The RWA tokenization market has grown from $5 billion in 2022 to over $36 billion in 2026, representing 380% growth.
Ondo sits at the centre of that expansion. The firm has emerged as one of the industry's most visible bridges between traditional finance and blockchain infrastructure, offering products including USDY, a yield-bearing token backed by short-term US Treasuries, and OUSG, a tokenized government bond fund. The platform holds over 70% market share among tokenized equity issuers, per RWA(.)xyz.
BNY, Samsung, and Regulators Add Momentum
Beyond the headline data, Ondo pointed to a cluster of institutional and regulatory developments that reinforce the sector's direction. Chief among them is BNY's plan to bring round-the-clock Treasury settlement to market. BNY plans to introduce tokenized Treasuries and conduct pilot trades on its private blockchain by the end of 2026, and aims to support 24/7 settlement for both conventional and tokenized Treasuries in 2027. The move addresses a longstanding structural gap: digital assets operate 24/7, but traditional Treasury settlement infrastructure does not.
On the consumer side, Ondo flagged Samsung Wallet's upcoming stablecoin support. Samsung announced at its Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22, 2026, that its Samsung Wallet will add native stablecoin support. The integration, secured by Samsung's Knox hardware, will allow millions of Galaxy users to hold, send, and receive stablecoins directly from their mobile devices.
Ondo also noted that US and UK regulators and Oasis Pro Markets all advanced tokenized finance during the week, through new products, policy coordination, and regulatory approvals. The combination of institutional infrastructure upgrades, expanding consumer access, and a more accommodating regulatory posture points to a market that is moving well beyond the pilot stage.
