RWA Market Grows 380%, Bittime: Indonesian Investor Interest Continues to Rise

Jakarta, August 18, 2026 – Real World Assets (RWA) are gaining increasing attention as the global digital asset industry continues to evolve. 

According to materials presented at Indonesia Blockchain Week (IDBW) 2026, the global RWA market has reached US$26.4 billion, growing approximately 380% over the past three years.

The growth highlights how blockchain technology is expanding beyond crypto-native assets to support the tokenization of a broader range of real-world assets. Tokenization was also among the key topics discussed during the two-day IDBW 2026, held on August 12–13, 2026.

Bittime, a Digital Financial Asset Trader (PAKD) registered with and supervised by the Financial Services Authority (OJK), sees the global growth of RWA beginning to translate into stronger interest among Indonesian investors in tokenized global assets.

Ryan Lymn, Chief Operating Officer of Bittime, said the development of RWA reflects a broader shift in how blockchain technology is being applied in the financial sector, moving beyond its role as the infrastructure behind digital assets toward an infrastructure that can provide access to a wider range of assets.

“The growth of RWA shows that blockchain is evolving beyond being simply the infrastructure behind digital assets and is becoming a new way to access assets that investors are already familiar with in traditional financial markets. This development creates new opportunities for investors to gain exposure to global assets through an increasingly integrated digital ecosystem,” said Ryan.

Bittime's Tokenized US Stocks Transactions Grow 2.5 Times

The global trend is beginning to be reflected in investor activity in Indonesia. Bittime recorded a 2.5-fold increase in Tokenized US Stocks transactions in July 2026 compared with June 2026.

The growth indicates increasing interest among Indonesian investors in tokenized instruments that provide access to global assets.

Through its collaboration with Ondo Finance, Bittime currently offers 20 Tokenized US Stocks. These include global companies such as SpaceX (SPCXON), Coinbase (COINON), AMD (AMDON), Amazon (AMZNON), and Microsoft (MSFTON).

The five most popular Tokenized US Stocks among Bittime users are SPCX, NVDA, CRCL, MSTR, and AAPL.

Ryan said the increase in transactions shows that Indonesian investors are beginning to explore tokenization as another way to access global investment opportunities.

“The 2.5-fold increase in Tokenized US Stocks transactions on Bittime shows that Indonesian investors are beginning to explore access to global assets through tokenization. For us, this is a signal that RWA has significant room to grow as investors become increasingly familiar with digital asset-based investment products,” said Ryan.

Building a Stronger Ecosystem for RWA

According to Ryan, the growth of RWA also needs to be supported by a well-prepared ecosystem, particularly in terms of transparency around the underlying assets, regulation, and investor education. These factors will be increasingly important in building trust as tokenization becomes more widely adopted.

“RWA will grow sustainably when innovation develops alongside regulation, transparency, and investor education. We see this development as part of the evolution of Indonesia’s digital investment ecosystem and an opportunity to expand access to global assets in a more responsible way,” said Ryan.

As part of its ecosystem development, Bittime provides access to a range of digital asset products, including Tokenized US Stocks. The platform also offers spot, futures, and staking features. In addition, Bittime provides Flexible Earn with rewards of up to 7% for Tokenized AI Stocks.

The growth of the RWA market and the increasing activity in Tokenized US Stocks on Bittime indicate that tokenization is becoming increasingly relevant to Indonesian investors. 

For Bittime, the trend also creates an opportunity to expand access to global assets through Indonesia’s growing digital financial asset ecosystem.
