Arbitrum One now hosts more than $1 billion in distributed real-world assets (RWAs), as tokenized funds, stocks, commodities and credit products continue expanding across its ecosystem. The latest figures show approximately $1.09 billion in distributed assets, held across 5,773 assets and 13,905 addresses.
The growth comes as major financial companies bring traditional investment products onto blockchain networks. BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Ondo, and Securitize are among the names involved in Arbitrum’s wider tokenization ecosystem.
However, the increase in holders does not tell the entire story. While the number of addresses holding RWAs has grown by more than 12% over 30 days, transfer volume has dropped sharply. Robinhood’s separate Arbitrum-based blockchain is also adding momentum to the ecosystem.
Arbitrum’s Distributed RWA Value Reaches $1.09 Billion
Data from RWA.xyz showed Arbitrum with approximately $1.09 billion in distributed RWA value on November 13.
The network had 5,773 tracked assets and 13,905 holder addresses. The holder count increased by 12.32% over the previous 30 days, while distributed asset value grew by 2.4%.
These assets cover several categories of traditional finance, including tokenized funds, stocks, commodities, private equity and credit products. Instead of holding these investments only through conventional financial accounts, eligible investors can access tokenized representations through blockchain infrastructure.
Active strategies account for a significant portion of the market, with approximately $498.3 million in value on Arbitrum One as of November 11.
This category includes products designed to provide exposure to actively managed investment strategies, rather than simply tracking a fixed asset or index.
The figures show that Arbitrum’s RWA market is not limited to tokenized stocks. Investment funds and other financial products also contribute substantially to its total value.
BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and Ondo Expand Tokenization
Institutional participation is an important part of Arbitrum’s RWA story.
BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), issued with Securitize, expanded onto Arbitrum in 2024. The fund invests in cash, US Treasury bills, and repurchase agreements, offering eligible investors a tokenized way to access a traditional money market strategy.
Franklin Templeton also brought its OnChain US Government Money Fund (FOBXX), represented by the BENJI token, to Arbitrum. The fund provides exposure to US government securities through blockchain-based ownership records.
Ondo Finance has expanded access to its USDY product on Arbitrum. USDY is backed by short-term US government securities and bank deposits and is designed to provide eligible holders with dollar-denominated yield exposure.
These projects illustrate different approaches to tokenization. Some represent traditional money market funds, while others provide access to yield-bearing assets through blockchain-based products.
The broader trend is also visible outside Arbitrum. In our earlier coverage of Securitize bringing Apple and Nvidia stock exposure to Solana, we looked at how tokenized equities are expanding across different blockchain networks.
Robinhood Chain Adds Another RWA Growth Engine
Robinhood is also expanding its blockchain presence through Robinhood Chain, a dedicated Ethereum Layer 2 built using Arbitrum technology.
The network launched its public mainnet on July 1, 2026. It is separate from Arbitrum One, but its use of Arbitrum’s technology adds another institutional and consumer-facing network to the wider ecosystem.
Robinhood’s tokenized stock products allow eligible users to gain economic exposure to traditional securities through blockchain-based tokens. These products can be traded through supported platforms, with some offering access beyond conventional stock-market hours.
A November 4 report from the RWA Foundation placed Robinhood Chain’s distributed RWA value at approximately $262.93 million, with around 1.69 million holder addresses.
That is a substantial address count, although it should not be interpreted as 1.69 million individual investors. A single person can control multiple wallets, and some addresses may belong to trading pools or other services.
There is also an important distinction between Robinhood Chain and Arbitrum One. The $1.09 billion RWA figure belongs to Arbitrum One, while Robinhood Chain has its own separate network metrics. Combining them without making that distinction would overstate Arbitrum One’s figures.
Robinhood’s expansion nevertheless demonstrates how the Arbitrum technology stack is being used beyond its original public network.
More RWA Holders but Transfer Volume Falls
Arbitrum’s latest figures also reveal a gap between asset ownership and activity.
Although RWA holder addresses increased by 12.32% over 30 days, the network’s RWA transfer volume declined by approximately 80.31% to $255.7 million.
This means more addresses are holding tokenized assets, but the value transferred between addresses has fallen considerably.
The two metrics measure different things. Holder growth can indicate that more wallets are gaining exposure to tokenized assets. Transfer volume provides a separate measure of how frequently those assets move across the network.
The decline does not necessarily mean institutional interest has disappeared. Some tokenized funds are designed to be held for longer periods rather than traded frequently. However, sustained transfer activity will be another important indicator of whether the market is developing beyond asset issuance and initial distribution.
For now, the numbers show that Arbitrum is attracting more RWA holders, even as the pace of asset transfers slows.
Arbitrum’s Position in the Institutional Tokenization Race
Arbitrum is competing in a market where several blockchain networks are attracting traditional financial institutions.
Ethereum remains a major destination for tokenized funds, while Solana has attracted activity around tokenized equities and other financial products. Networks such as Avalanche and Canton are also developing infrastructure for institutional markets.
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), for example, is advancing its tokenization plans across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Our earlier report on DTCC’s tokenized securities service and Canton Network covers another part of this shift toward blockchain-based securities infrastructure.
Arbitrum’s approach combines a public Layer 2 network with dedicated chains built for specific applications and institutions. Robinhood Chain is an example of how companies can use the Arbitrum technology stack to create their own blockchain environments.
The latest RWA figures suggest that this strategy is attracting asset issuers and holders. However, the sharp decline in transfer volume shows that growth in the number of assets and holders does not automatically translate into stronger transactional activity.
The next stage will depend on whether more institutions bring products onchain and whether investors use those products beyond simply holding them. Arbitrum has established a sizable RWA market, but sustained activity will be just as important as the headline value.
