RWA Market Surges While Meme Coins Slip

The real‑world asset (RWA) market cap rose to $71.02 billion on Monday, a 48.7% increase in 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. The surge added $23.26 billion to the sector, but most of the gain came from the inclusion of a single token, link" href="/prices/figure-heloc">Figure Heloc.

Figure Heloc dominates the RWA jump

Figure Heloc, a token representing a pool of home‑equity credit lines issued by Nevada‑based lender Figure, accounts for $22.81 billion (about 32%) of the RWA market cap. Removing Figure Heloc leaves the sector at roughly $48.21 billion, essentially unchanged from the previous day.

The token’s price showed little movement, with a 24‑hour turnover of only $14.9 million (0.065% of its value) and no reported price change on CoinGecko.

Other RWA and tokenized assets

• Chainlink (LINK) rose 0.8%.
• Stellar (XLM) fell 3.3%.
• Tokenized equities total $8.25 billion, with MicroStrategy xStock (MSTRX) tracking its Nasdaq counterpart closely.

Meme coins lose ground

Major meme coins declined on the same day: Dogecoin (DOGE) –4.1%, Pump.fun (PUMP) –7.9%, Official Trump (TRUMP) –9.9%, and others such as Shiba Inu, Bonk and FLOKI also fell. The meme‑coin sector ended the day down 2.3% at $32.82 billion.

Trading volume distinguishes the two groups: meme coins exchanged 13.2% of their market cap in 24 hours, while the RWA sector turned over 4%, and Figure Heloc only 0.065%.

Seven‑day perspective

Over the past week, several meme coins posted strong gains (Official Trump +73.5%, Pump.fun +66.3%, PEPE +54.2%). RWA tokens were steadier, with Stellar up 22.1% and Chainlink up 21.9%.

Weekly trading volume remained higher for meme coins ($4.35 billion) than for RWA tokens ($2.82 billion), extending the meme‑coin rally.
