RWA Sector Market Performance

According to the latest data from RWA.xyz, as of June 10, 2025, the total value of RWA on the chain is $23.14 billion, a slight decline of 0.39% from $23.23 billion on June 3. Despite the slight adjustment in the market value, the activity on the chain has increased significantly, and the number of asset holders has jumped from 113,670 to 167,437, an increase of 47.3%. The number of asset issuances increased from 193 to 194, maintaining a slow growth; the total value of stablecoins rose to $237.49 billion, up 0.71% from last week, and the number of holders also increased to 166.63 million, up 0.73%.

In terms of asset classes, private credit fell slightly to $13.3 billion this week, down $100 million from last week, but still accounted for the largest share and maintained an absolute dominant position in the current RWA structure. U.S. Treasuries continued to remain stable at $7.3 billion this week, indicating that its market recognition as a defensive asset remains solid.

Commodity assets remained at $1.5 billion for the third consecutive week, with minimal fluctuations, indicating that their allocation ratio has stabilized. Institutional alternative funds increased from $527.8 million last week to $529.7 million. Although the increase was not large, it continued the moderate upward trend. It is worth noting that stock assets continued to grow to $340.2 million this week, up 7.2% from last week, indicating that the markets attention and confidence in on-chain securities assets are gradually increasing.

What is the trend (compared to last week )?

The asset structure remained stable, and user participation increased significantly : the biggest change this week was not the market value itself, but the significant increase in the number of asset holders, indicating that the platforms user base has expanded rapidly, which may be related to the launch of new assets, user incentives or the recovery of market sentiment; private credit assets have slightly adjusted back, and the growth momentum has slowed down : although it still ranks first, the amount has declined, which may indicate short-term fund diversion or a phased adjustment in risk preferences; U.S. Treasury assets continue to rise steadily: in the current market environment, its stable performance has a ballast effect on the asset structure; the allocation of commodities, alternative funds, etc. has maintained a small increase, and the overall assets are still conservative bottom-position assets. Investors attention to these low-volatility assets continues, indicating an enhanced awareness of diversified allocation.

In summary, unlike the previous stable growth, this weeks RWA on-chain assets maintained a stable and adjusted structure: the total market value slightly decreased but the participation rate surged, the main structure remained unchanged but asset rotation began to emerge . Private credit remained strong as a high-yield asset, but short-term fluctuations may have potential diversion; stable assets such as US Treasury bonds and alternative funds continued to rise steadily, providing a safety cushion for the investment portfolio.

Review of key events

The US Stablecoin GENIUS Act triggered a fierce game between the two parties

The GENIUS Act, a stablecoin bill that the U.S. Senate is about to vote on, has triggered a fierce game between the two parties. The legislative controversy disclosed on June 6 showed that the bill could reshape the $250 billion stablecoin market, but it was strongly opposed by people such as Republican Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri, who believed that it would give technology giants too much financial control. Hawley accused the bill of giving a green light to technology companies such as Meta to issue stablecoins in disguise, and the amendment he submitted required non-financial listed companies to be approved by the newly established Stablecoin Certification Review Committee. Although some provisions were adopted, he criticized the final version for weakening key regulatory constraints. The Democratic Party is worried that the bill may provide regulatory arbitrage space for private companies such as Musks X Money, and plans to propose an amendment to prohibit technology companies from issuing stablecoins.

Circles opening gain expanded to 186%, triggering the circuit breaker again

Stablecoin issuer Circle Internet Group and its shareholders selling shares raised nearly $1.1 billion in an initial public offering (IPO), after which the companys stock price soared 186% at the opening, triggering circuit breakers twice. Circle became one of the few pure cryptocurrency companies listed in the United States, including Coinbase, Mara Holdings and Riot Platforms. This is the companys second attempt to go public. Previously, its merger plan with a special purpose acquisition company failed due to regulatory challenges in late 2022. The cryptocurrency industry is gaining new political support under the friendly attitude of the US government. In particular, the stablecoin field has been accelerating due to expectations that Congress will pass stablecoin-related legislation this summer. Wall Street analysts say the stablecoin market could grow 10 times in the next five years, creating a trillion-dollar market opportunity.

Hong Kong Government: Stablecoin Ordinance will take effect on August 1, 2025

The Hong Kong SAR Government published the Stablecoin Ordinance (Effective Date) Notice in the Gazette on June 6, designating August 1, 2025 as the date on which the Stablecoin Ordinance (Cap. 656) (the Ordinance) will come into effect. The Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr. Christopher Hui, said: After the Ordinance comes into effect, the licensing system will provide appropriate regulations for relevant stablecoin activities and will be a milestone in promoting the sustainable development of Hong Kongs stablecoin and digital asset ecosystem.

Alternative amendment to the US CLARITY Act has been released

According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett, an alternative amendment to the CLARITY Act, the US digital asset market clarity bill, has been released. The alternative amendment is an updated version of the submitted bill, incorporating recent amendments and additions. The text will serve as the basis for the Republicans (reviewing amendments) of the US House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday (June 10).
