One Million Trillion Dollars Set to Land on Blockchain

If there's one narrative in the crypto market this year that deserves the most attention, it's the onboarding of Real World Assets (RWA). According to industry estimates, the total value of real assets worldwide is about 100 trillion dollars. Once these assets are tokenized and circulate on the blockchain, the entire blockchain ecosystem's potential will be fully unleashed.

Recently, industry insiders and executives from trading platforms have discussed this topic in depth. The conversation involved several core questions—

Is the Altcoin market truly declining, or is it just in the process of redefining itself? This question is much more complex than it appears on the surface. Many so-called "dead" altcoins fundamentally lack genuine use cases. However, as sectors like RWA, DeFi, and NFT mature and tokens with real application value emerge, they will regain market attention.

In other words, the current winter might just be a reshuffling phase. When truly killer applications are implemented, the market landscape will undergo significant change.

RWA12,62%

DEFI-2,76%

1 quadrillion sounds great, but how long will it really take to land? I've been looking at RWA for a while, and I feel like it's still in the PPT stage. Shuffling is just shuffling, anyway, garbage coins should have died long ago. Waiting for killer applications? Bro, we might not wait that long.

One hundred trillion sounds impressive, but what proportion of assets can actually be on-chain and circulating? Where is the actual measurement data? --- In the end, it still depends on whether the protocol architecture can support it. As long as the security risks of cross-chain bridging mechanisms are not addressed, asset migration is just talk. --- The "death" of altcoins essentially comes down to not finding application scenarios — that's true. But what's even more painful is that most project teams haven't clearly thought through their technical validation paths. --- Shuffle phase? I want to see how many of the project codes that survive at that time will be above the passing line in quality. --- I've been hearing about RWA for two years. Why don't we actually test the current on-chain asset settlement efficiency? Let's look at the data first.

One quadrillion really? It feels like just armchair theorizing by industry insiders again. RWA is indeed hot, but I heard this logic last year, so don't expect altcoins to turn around. Shuffling is shuffling; most will still die. Don't deceive yourself.

1 quadrillion? That's a bit exaggerated. If it really gets on the chain, having one-tenth would be good enough. --- RWA has been talked about for two years. It's better to just listen and not believe it. --- Shuffling the cards, sounds nice, but in reality, it's just continuing to cut the leeks. --- When will the killer app arrive? Anyway, I won't be holding my breath. --- If altcoins die, they die. Don't look for reasons for yourself. --- 1 quadrillion haha, I'll just watch quietly. --- Here we go again, the big rhetoric about RWA, it's the same old story every year.

1 million trillion dollars sounds impressive, but how long will it really take to go on-chain... --- Can the RWA narrative actually be explained? It still feels like it's in the PPT stage. --- I'm tired of hearing about the reshuffling phase; it's the same every bear market. --- Altcoin death? Just die then. If there’s no application scenario, it’s worthless. What’s there to argue about? --- When will the killer app land? I’m waiting right here... --- Honestly, no matter how hot the RWA concept is, I won’t believe it until I see money coming in. --- Here we go again with big stories. Let’s do a good job with what we already have first. --- This logic is a bit absurd. Winter = reshuffling, but what about previous bear markets? Why didn’t the pattern change significantly?

100 trillion? Uh... really? Feels like they're just storytelling again. RWA is indeed a direction, but can those altcoins really come back to life? It's a bit uncertain. Let the reshuffling period be what it may; anyway, I'm still waiting for that "killer app" to appear.

One quadrillion? Keep dreaming. Real implementation will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey or the Year of the Horse.
