Avalanche Flips Liquid Network to Enter Top 5 RWA Networks With $2.1B and 60% 30D Surge

Avalanche RWA activity just reached the milestone of a new era. The network now has $2.1 billion in the distributed tokenized asset value locked, up from +60.47% in the last 30 days, according to new data from RWA.xyz. The jump catapulted Liquid Network from #5 to #6, solidifying Avalanche’s standing as one of the world’s leading tokenization blockchains.

Bridgetower’s $11B+ Deal and Institutional Inflows Drive Avalanche’s RWA Rise

This breakthrough was not through speculations. It came on the heels of a concrete announcement on July 13, where Bridgetower tokenized over $11 billion in real-world production assets, such as the Arizona Copper-Gold project, directly on Avalanche built on Chainlink infrastructure. The transaction drove Avalanche to be #5 in net RWA inflows on RWA.xyz overnight.

Morgan Krupetsky, VP of Business Development at Ava Labs, captured the mood on X: “Avalanche now ranks among the top five blockchain networks for tokenized assets (RWAs) by both distributed and represented value… This is still just the beginning.”

The Bridgetower deal was not out of nowhere. BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized treasury fund is already the second biggest on the Avalanche network after Ethereum, having now grown past $900 million.

VanEck is also setting up a gaming, DeFi, AI, and Avalanche RWA-focused portfolio on the network with idle capital going into tokenized money market instruments built on Avalanche.

These deals are not akin to the ephemeral TVL surges but rather the type of long-term institutional capital that the validators and the AVAX holders are concerned about.

Franklin Templeon’s BENJI fund and Littio Bank, both of which selected Avalanche over Ethereum for yield products, are another sign of the trend. CoinGape’s coverage of Top RWA Tokenization Platforms already lists Avalanche as a leading infrastructure option, a distinction that now carries measurable on-chain weight.

What This Means for AVAX and the Broader RWA Race

However, Ethereum remains the leader of RWA competitors on Avalanche, accounting for around $16 billion in tokenized value. However, the primary-level gap is closing quickly.

Despite the progress the DeFi sector has made in recent years, Avalanche’s underlying subnet architecture, purpose-built chains that boast high throughput, low latency, and full EVM compatibility, remains the main driver for institutions’ adoption of the platform as opposed to pure DeFi-native chains or slower enterprise networks.

As more and more activity takes place through the on-chain RWA ecosystem, so too does demand for AVAX, whether for gas fees, staking, or deploying subnets. The 60% 30-day increase in distributed value is not about rumors and expectations but about real usage.

Additional subnet launches are anticipated in the coming months, as the Avalanche Foundation keeps going with its support initiative for the RWA community in a $50M way.

As CoinGape previously reported, the SEC’s roundtable on tokenization has already flagged Avalanche as a network to watch. RWA Coins Eyeing SEC Tokenization Roundtable Gains highlighted the network’s momentum as it anticipates potential regulatory clarification, which could drive the next wave of institutional participation.

Risks remain. Ethereum L2s and other high-throughput chains are battling hard for the same institutional investments. But if the market becomes more volatile, expansion plans might be stalled. Yet, with Bridgetower’s $11B+ already in action and BlackRock’s current presence on the network, Avalanche is creating the type of pipeline that it will take a long time to roll back.
