A joint report by RWA Foundation and Token Terminal for the week of October 18–25, 2026, recorded a local redistribution of capital in the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector. While a decline in volumes was recorded on Ethereum infrastructure, the inflow of funds and new investors shifted toward alternative blockchains.
The main beneficiary of this dynamic was Solana, which showed significant growth in the tokenized funds segment. The network attracted $453.5 million — this is 73% of the total inflow into the top 10 blockchains (its closest pursuer, Stellar, added $124.5 million).
Against this backdrop, XRP Ledger's figures remain conservative: the network entered the top 10 leaders, but its result was limited to $131,000, which indicates a significant gap in the pace of capital attraction over the reporting period.

In parallel, changes are taking place in the tokenized stocks market, where Ethereum lost $26.0 million in market capitalization. The released liquidity flowed into BNB Chain (+$135.9 million) and Solana (+$55.8 million).
Solana also leads in the growth of stockholder addresses, having added 114,600 wallets in seven days, while the Backpack platform added 58,500 addresses. At the same time, retail products from Binance — bStocks (+$127.8 million) and xStocks (+$73.4 million) — accumulated almost 94% of the segment's total monetary growth.
Where real money on the blockchain lives now
The stablecoin market demonstrated a division of spheres of influence between issuance volumes and the pace of audience expansion. The issuer Paxos became the leader in capital inflow: its capitalization grew by $249.8 million (65% of the growth of the top 10 issuers), distributed mainly through the Arc and Solana networks.
At the same time, Tether leads in the pace of user base expansion, providing 90% of the total inflow of new addresses among the top 10 issuers — this is 1.7 million new wallets in a week. The main infrastructure hub for these transactions was the BNB Chain blockchain (+1.3 million addresses), leaving behind Tron (+212,000) and Solana (+184,000).

Institutional capital in the tokenized funds segment demonstrates stable inflows: financial giants Franklin Templeton (+$33.9 million) and J.P. Morgan (+$33.6 million) provided almost half of the weekly growth, while the independent fund Spiko leads in the pace of attracting investors (+491 addresses).
The data of the reporting week confirms that local liquidity flows in the RWA sector are now strictly tied to two factors: capital and new users choose either issuers with the maximum supply volume or blockchain platforms capable of providing the lowest transaction costs.
