One of the key sectors driving real “utility” for risk assets is the RWA (Real World Assets) sector. With nearly $25 billion in assets tokenized on-chain, it’s clear that blockchain is moving beyond theory to real-world use.
There is no doubt that big players like BlackRock and JPMorgan have pushed RWA into the mainstream, attracting institutional money. However, this growth is now extending beyond the United States, signaling a global expansion of tokenization.
For example, Brazilian FinTech LIQI Digital Assets partnered with XDC Network (XDC) on April 14. Since then, they have already tokenized over $100 million in assets and are targeting $500 million by 2026.
Naturally, this development raises some key questions: Is this the true beginning of the globalization of blockchain use cases? And if so, what does this mean for the XDC Network and other Layer 1 networks in terms of adoption and growth?
From Brazil to blockchain: the global expansion of XDC
At the heart of this partnership is Brazil’s regulatory framework.
By allowing LIQI Digital Assets to tokenize assets on XDC, it is a strong signal that regulatory support for RWAs in Brazil is increasing. It is therefore not surprising that the sector has become one of the best performers in 2025.
And this is not an isolated case. In 2025, the Central Bank of Brazil finalized a framework for stablecoins, which is expected to come into effect in February 2026. This marks another step towards clearer oversight of digital assets in the country.

In this context, XDC’s partnership with LIQI seems strategically appropriate.
In less than a year, the network has already supported $100 million in token value, showing how regulatory advancements translate into true on-chain growth. Can XDC increase incremental RWA by 5x during the year?
This is where network-level adoption starts to matter. As major research and analytics firms become increasingly optimistic about tokenization by 2026, the possibility of XDC generating stronger momentum cannot be ruled out.
That said, execution risks mean certainty is far from guaranteed.
Tokenized assets expected to see massive growth by 2030
There are clear signs that support the bullish case for RWA.
At the macro level, Brazil’s regulatory environment shows that the sector is expanding globally. Meanwhile, at the micro level, Layer 1 networks are strengthening their infrastructure to meet this growing demand.
Together, these trends are attracting significant tokenized capital to Layer 1, with XDC alone seeing a nearly 13% year-over-year increase in the total value of tokenized assets, reaching an all-time high of $24.5 million.

From an on-chain perspective, this growth highlights XDC’s technical advantage, such as low fees, fast finality, and strong security, all of which help drive its global expansion, including through its partnership with LIQI.
That said, a smooth ride is not guaranteed. ARK Invest predicts that the RWA market could reach $11 trillion by 2030, but Ethereum (ETH) still dominates nearly 65% of the space, backed by major institutional support.
In comparison, the $500 million tokenization of LIQI on XDC is a small share, but it is a significant milestone. With global expansion, bullish projections, and technical advantage, RWA on XDC is expected to see a major boost in 2026.
Final Thoughts
- In less than a year, XDC has generated over $100 million, demonstrating that regulatory advancements translate into real on-chain growth.
- With bullish projections, technical advantage, and global partnerships, XDC is well-positioned for a major boost in 2026, even if Ethereum dominates most of the market.
