According to Odaily Planet Daily, Matrixport's leading RWA tokenization platform, Matrixdock, was listed in the "2025 RWA Report," jointly released by Dune and RWA.xyz. Notably, this date also marked the one-year anniversary of XAUm's launch. The report, released at the RWA Summit in New York, quickly became a focal point and sparked heated discussion within the industry. According to the report, XAUm has grown into a gold token with a market capitalization of approximately $45 million, with over 13,200 units issued and 365,000 cross-chain transactions completed. Its decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume exceeded $22 million over the past year, with BNB Chain's PancakeSwap accounting for over 95% of this total.
The report also shows that XAUm's user base is rapidly expanding. In 2025 alone, the Plume network attracted 61,000 users (87% of the total) and accounted for over 70% of all transactions. This trend highlights the value of gold tokens as an important entry point for ordinary investors into RWA.
Eva Meng, head of Matrixdock, noted in the report: "XAUm is setting a leading standard for gold tokenization in Asia. It is not only a trusted asset bridge, but also a significant milestone in advancing RWA from traditional assets to the future of programmable finance."
Yunfeng Financial Group, in which Jack Ma indirectly holds a stake, announced that its blockchain technology team has successfully tokenized real-world asset (RWA) shares in a fund-of-funds (FOF) invested by its wholly-owned subsidiary. This marks Yunfeng Financial's first independently completed RWA project, further promoting the deep integration of traditional finance and blockchain technology. The FOF funds invested by Yunfeng Financial Group's wholly-owned subsidiaries primarily focus on alternative assets (directly or indirectly investing in credit and real estate-related debt securities markets). Issuing a portion of these fund shares in the form of tokens enhances transparency.
Odaily Planet Daily reported that Sonic Labs announced a strategic investment in FinChain, a Web 3 brand incubated by Fosun Wealth Holdings and an institutional-grade RWA provider. This investment will enable FinChain to prioritize the launch of new RWA products and tokens on Sonic to achieve native liquidity, composability and settlement. Issuers will obtain reusable identities, compliance workflows and distribution across FinChain channels. Relying on Sonic's ultra-low latency infrastructure, risk-weighted assets (RWAs) issued through FinChain can be connected to Sonic's money market, treasury and structured products, expanding returns, hedging and credit primitives.
