Event Summary

Binance — Binance Research, the market research arm of Binance, published its 'Half-Year 2026: On-Chain Markets' report on August 6, 2026. The report documents that tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) grew over 50% from approximately US$22B in January to US$34B by mid-July, with tokenized stocks and private equity as the fastest-growing categories. BNB Chain became the leading tokenized equities chain, capturing 83% of on-chain tokenized stock trading volume in July, surpassing Ethereum. Ethereum usage rose about 50% but chain revenue is projected to fall 53% for the full year due to lower gas fees. Total crypto losses declined from US$2.3B to US$972M in H1 2026 despite a record number of hacks, with nearly 60% of losses linked to operational failures at Drift and KelpDAO. Binance — Binance Research projects the tokenized RWA market could reach US$661B in the base case and US$1.6T in the bull case.
