Tokenized U.S. Debt Gains Momentum as RWA Market Taps $29.22B in Value
RWAs picked up serious traction with the rise of stablecoins, which essentially mirror fiat currencies and their steady nature. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries have largely steered the RWA market for the same reason: U.S. government debt comes with minimal credit risk and offers a path to relatively safe yield.
Image source: rwa.xyz on April 12, 2026.As of April 12, 2026, the sector has climbed to a lofty $13.53 billion, now just half a billion shy of cracking the $14 billion mark for the first time.
Stats logged by rwa.xyz show the ecosystem is supported by 60,893 holders across 74 distinct assets, indicating a stable user base. Over the last seven days, tokenized Treasury products produced an average 3.34% annual percentage yield ( APY).
While it hinges on how the product is structured, earning automated yield through these vehicles moves at a noticeably quicker pace than traditional finance (TradFi).
The top spot today belongs to Circle’s USYC, holding $2.67 billion in value, largely geared toward non-U.S. investors and based out of Bermuda. Blackrock’s BUIDL lands in second place, managed through Securitize; it holds $2.42 billion and targets U.S. Qualified Purchasers with a steep $5 million USDC minimum.
In third place is Ondo’s USDY, a broadly distributed asset with 16,568 holders and a total value of $1.88 billion, offering a 3.55% APY. In the fourth position this week is Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund (JTRSY).
JTRSY is a fast-growing institutional offering with $1.32 billion in value, noted for its AA+ credit rating from S&P and its focus on short-term U.S. Treasury bills. Franklin Templeton’s BENJI rounds out the top five with $1.02 billion in value, standing out for its low $20 minimum investment.
These five funds account for $9.31 billion, or 68.8% of the sector’s total $13.53 billion value. The technical, under-the-hood details are equally notable, particularly when examining how these tokenized Treasury funds are distributed across multiple blockchains.
Blockchain network distribution via rwa.xyz on April 12, 2026.Ethereum remains the dominant network with $7 billion in total value, while BNB Chain has established a significant presence with $3.2 billion. Networks such as Stellar ($843.8 million) and Solana ($829.7 million) are also gaining traction, while XRP Ledger, Plume, and Avalanche continue to serve as viable alternatives.
If current conditions hold, the next phase will likely hinge less on raw growth and more on integration: deeper links with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, broader regulatory clarity, and tighter connections to global capital markets and TradFi.
For now, tokenized Treasuries remain one of the clearest examples of how tokenized RWAs are being restructured for a digital-native environment, quietly expanding, but with measurable weight behind every step.
