Historically, spikes in RWA value reflect strong institutional adoption and trust in a chain’s reliability. Meanwhile, rising transfer volumes indicate active utilization, proving the platform’s ability to manage large-scale flows without sacrificing performance.
An increase inRWA showcases Aptos’ ability to support major players like BlackRock, and act as a bridge to bring more investors onchain.
