Featured Headlines

1️⃣ XRP Ledger hits record $364M RWA market cap as tokenized real estate surges

Date: Oct 30, 2025 — CoinPaper

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) posted a record-breaking $364.2 million RWA market cap in Q3, driven by tokenized property and mortgage assets. The growth comes as developers expand real-estate-backed projects on XRPL, benefiting from its low fees and built-in compliance tooling. With on-chain real estate now accounting for a large share of XRPL’s total RWA volume, the network is positioning itself as a serious player in institutional-grade property tokenization, challenging Ethereum’s early dominance. The trend confirms a growing appetite for public blockchains optimized for high-frequency, asset-backed trading.

2️⃣ Chainlink partners with Balcony to bring $240B in real estate on-chain

Date: Oct 28, 2025 — CoinDesk

In a major milestone for real estate tokenization, Chainlink announced a partnership with Balcony, a blockchain-based platform integrating government land-registry data to tokenize roughly $240 billion in real estate assets. Using Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), Balcony aims to connect verified title records with tokenized property ownership, creating an institutional-grade framework for compliant real-estate digitization. This partnership bridges the gap between off-chain registries and on-chain assets — a key step toward large-scale adoption in markets that require government-verified property data.

3️⃣ Standard Chartered predicts $2T tokenized asset market — led by Ethereum

Date: Oct 30, 2025 — The Block

Standard Chartered Bank now projects that tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) will exceed $2 trillion by 2028, with real estate expected to play a central role. The bank’s analysts forecast that the “vast majority” of tokenized volume will occur on Ethereum, citing its network maturity and interoperability with regulated partners. The report underscores how institutional finance increasingly sees property tokenization not as an experiment, but as a transformative asset class — connecting traditional lending, mortgages, and property equity directly to global liquidity pools.

4️⃣ Securitize prepares $1.25B SPAC listing amid RWA expansion

Date: Oct 29, 2025 — Bitget News

Securitize is reportedly finalizing a $1.25 billion SPAC merger, positioning itself to become one of the first tokenization platforms to go public. The listing follows a surge in institutional adoption of RWAs — particularly tokenized real estate, private credit, and infrastructure assets. As one of the few SEC-registered platforms capable of issuing compliant digital securities, Securitize’s IPO would mark a turning point for regulated property tokenization, signaling investor confidence in blockchain-based ownership at scale. The move could unlock a new phase of capital inflow from traditional finance.

Featured Projects of the Week

EstateX

Date: Oct 27, 2025 — CryptoRank News

EstateX reported “explosive growth” following its presentation at Korea Blockchain Week 2025, citing a surge in interest from Asian investors and real-estate developers. The project, which fractionalizes property ownership through blockchain-based tokens, says new partnerships and listings are fueling adoption in the region. EstateX’s expansion reflects a broader global trend — as tokenized real estate gains legitimacy, regional ecosystems like Korea and Singapore are emerging as key innovation hubs driving liquidity and investor participation.

Propy

Date: Oct 21, 2025 — CoinDesk

Propy, a veteran in real-estate tokenization, announced plans to invest $100 million in U.S. expansion to modernize title and escrow systems using blockchain. The company aims to digitize deed transfers, automate closing procedures, and link title verification directly to tokenized assets. Propy’s renewed focus comes amid a wave of regulatory openness toward blockchain-based registries in the U.S. — potentially positioning the firm as a backbone for tokenized property transactions nationwide.
