From niche experiment to $7 billion market, tokenized US Treasurys are quietly becoming a major driver of institutional onchain yield.
Tokenized US Treasurys have emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of the real-world asset (RWA) market, with data pointing to 50x growth in less than two years amid rising institutional demand for on-chain yield.
Data from Token Terminal shows that the combined market capitalization of tokenized US Treasury products has exploded from well under $200 million in January 2024 to almost $7 billion in late 2025. The growth underscores the rapid acceleration of onchain adoption for government-backed debt instruments.
At the center of this expansion is BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), which is widely regarded as the flagship product of the tokenized Treasury market.
