1inch and Ondo RWA volumes top $2.5B when RWAs are released
Since the release of the partnership in September 2025, the transaction volume of 1inch's merger with Ondo exceeded $2.5 billion in tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
According to data published on Dune Analytics and a release shared with Cointelegraph, real world assets (RWAs) are now the fastest growing volume category on 1inch. While few count the overall flow, 1inch founder Sergey Kunz told Cointelegraph that “the direction of travel is clear” and shows no signs of slowing down despite the broader crypto slump.
Most of the activity takes place on the BNB (BNB) chain, with over $1.3 million in associated volume, with peak active users at around 24,800 at any one time.
Kunz said the combination of a low-friction user experience and high retail distribution made BNB Chain “a natural place for RWA activity,” which is “happening at a much faster rate and at a retail scale than on Ethereum (ETH).”

He added that both retail and advanced users were trading RWAs, and the typical exchange rate was around $1,400, indicating “real capital, purposefully deployed” rather than trying to traffic.
The most popular tokens are currently well-known traditional financial names such as Nvidia ($354 million in volume), Tesla ($332 million), Google ($249 million), and Netflix ($98 million), as well as silver's intangible assets ($225 million).
As Ethereum approaches $15 billion, Tokenized RWAs defy the fall
The event comes as marked RWAs emerge as one of the few consistent growth stories in crypto. Ethereum RWA Total Value Locked (TVL) has increased to nearly $15 billion, an increase of approximately 200% compared to last year.
Tokenized US Treasuries have been a major driver of that growth, with a market cap of more than $1 billion by early 2026, a roughly 50x increase by 2024, as products like BlackRock's BUIDL fund help pull traditional fixed income on-chain.

At the same time, tokenized RWAs and the infrastructure behind them continue to attract new capital. RWA token projects are among the biggest winners in crypto venture funds in 2025, with onchain RWA markets growing roughly 13.5% in 30 days as the broader crypto market surges to $1 trillion in value.
RWAs to become the daily DeFi pipeline
The 1inch Ondo integration shows how assemblers are transitioning to distribution rails for controlled RWA emitters. Kunz said that while 1inch did not have a custodian and did not issue RWAs itself, eligibility and jurisdictional controls were enforced at the issuer level, focusing on routing, application programming interfaces (APIs) and disclosure.
Looking ahead, Kunz sees RWAs making the “next leap forward” only when liquidity depth, standards and regulatory transparency are aligned.
