RedStone: The scale of RWA will reach 60 billion USD by 2026

According to The Defiant, the decentralized oracle network RedStone reports that the RWA market is expected to grow from the current $35 billion to between $50 billion and $60 billion by 2026. This market has rapidly expanded from $5 billion at the end of 2023.

Private credit is currently the largest category, with a size of approximately $19 billion, and is expected to account for 45% to 50% of the RWA market next year. Tokenized government bonds currently stand at $8.4 billion, including BlackRock's $2.5 billion BUIDL fund. Tokenized stocks are expected to grow the fastest, with a projected increase of 200% to 300% once U.S. regulatory rules are clarified in mid-2026.

RedStone co-founder Marcin Kazmierczak emphasized that this growth relies on reliable infrastructure, including net asset value calculations, liquidity adjustments, and compliance audit tracking.

The report also predicts that AI agents will become the primary users of on-chain data, with the market size exceeding $15 billion. The total value locked in decentralized finance is expected to grow from the current $124 billion to between $150 billion and $200 billion.
