The ongoing U.S. government shutdown, combined with Gold’s record-setting rally above $4,200, has created a flight-to-safety narrative that boosted RWA inflows despite broader crypto weakness. πŸš¨πŸ“ˆ

The crypto market suffered its worst month since May after President Donald Trump’s tariff call on China triggered a $19 billion liquidation event on October 10. Another $1.2 billion wipeout followed on October 17, pushing Bitcoin below $104,000, its lowest level since July. πŸπŸ“‰

However, the Real-World Assets sector remained resilient. Tokenized debt, commodities, and private credit products continued attracting inflows as investors sought yield stability amid macro uncertainty. πŸ¦πŸ’Ό

Since the start of October, Tokenized U.S. debt instruments rose from $7.5 billion to $8.3 billion, reflecting accelerated tokenization of U.S. securities following the US government shutdown. Gold’s historic rally to $4,200 last week also impacted on-chain movements, with Commodities-backed RWAs rising from $2.1 billion to $3.2 billion. πŸ›οΈπŸ”₯

Combined, U.S. Treasuries and Commodities saw $1.9 billion in inflows, accounting for 51% of all newly tokenized assets in the last 30 days. πŸ“Š
