From $1.5 Billion to $29 BillionTokenized U.S. Treasuries represent the sharpest single-segment move, growing from $380 million in the first quarter of 2023 to $13.4 billion, a roughly 37-fold jump. Circle’s USYC leads the category at $2.7 billion, with Ondo Finance’s suite close behind at $2.6 billion and Blackrock’s BUIDL at $2.4 billion.
Onchain treasury products have been able to draw consistent capital in recent years thanks to them offering yields comparable to traditional instruments while remaining accessible around the clock and free of custodian overhead.
The $29.27 billion figure, up 10% over the past 30 days, tracks only natively onchain tokenized instruments, a narrower and more conservative measure than broader market estimates that factor in represented assets.
Long-Term Projections Point to TrillionsWith over 40 major financial institutions now actively issuing tokenized products onchain, the $29 billion milestone marks a proof-of-concept phase giving way to scaled deployment, though the distance between today’s figures and trillion-dollar projections underscores how early the market remains.
