Fact Check
The original Token Terminal X post confirms the $43 billion figure and Ethereum's 57.8% market share. Cointelegraph corroborates all four claim elements: 37% growth over six months (180 days), exceeding $43 billion, tokenized funds at nearly 80% of market cap, and Ethereum leading. Crypto Briefing and Intellectia independently confirm the $43B and 37%-in-six-months figures, all attributed to Token Terminal. The sources note other trackers (RWA.xyz) report lower figures (~$33B) due to methodological differences, but this does not contradict Token Terminal's specific claim, which is the basis of the article.
Summary

Tokenized financial assets rose about 37% over the past 180 days and the market has now exceeded $43 billion, as traditional financial products continue moving on-chain despite a relatively weak broader crypto market. Tokenized funds account for about 80% of the market’s value, underscoring how fund products remain the dominant segment of real-world asset adoption. Ethereum holds 57.8% of issuance, highlighting the network’s leading role in tokenizing traditional assets. The expansion points to deeper institutional use of blockchain-based infrastructure, and Citi projects the market could reach $5.5 trillion by 2030 in its base case.
