Tuesday was a day of announcements. Real Finance, the Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization network, announced that it secured $29 million in private funding, which will be allocated to building an Institutional RWA Infrastructure layer. The objective is to facilitate large-scale adoption by financial institutions.
The funding round included a $25 million capital commitment from Nimbus Capital, a digital asset investment firm, with additional participation from Magnus Capital and Frekaz Group. The network stated that the funds will be utilized to expand its operational and compliance infrastructure, with the immediate goal of tokenizing $500 million worth of RWAs. According to the company, this target would represent about 2% of today’s tokenized asset market.
The Rise of Tokenized Money Market Funds
Typically, the tokenization market is dominated by products based on US Treasury bills and institutional alternative funds. Recently, this sector has been driven by Money Market Funds (MMFs), experiencing nearly tenfold growth since 2023, with giants like Goldman Sachs and BNY Mellon entering the space.
This trend describes the growing acceptance of RWAs as a valid asset class. Experts anticipate even stronger expansion. Chris Yin, co-founder of Plume, noted that RWA holders have already grown more than 10 times in 2025, and it is not an exaggeration to imagine 25 times or more user growth in 2026. In addition to government debt, the market is showing increasing interest in private credit, mineral rights, and energy assets.
This growth outlook aligns with expectations that greater regulatory clarity in the United States, as suggested by a Binance Research report, will attract even more large institutions to tokenization.
The company’s investment is fundamentally a bet on the sector’s maturation, as Institutional RWA Infrastructure is the bottleneck preventing traditional banks and asset managers from interacting efficiently with blockchains. Real Finance’s focus on a full-stack, fully compliant platform aims to eliminate this friction.
The financial community will be watching closely to see if the company achieves its short-term goal of $500 million in tokenization, which would validate its model and consolidate tokenization as a dominant force in global capital markets.
