According to @MilkRoadDaily, onchain real-world assets reached a new record this month with total value rising 13.3% to $33.2B. According to @MilkRoadDaily, 52% of the RWA market is on Ethereum, indicating that institutions and issuers are using blockchain to hold or trade yield-bearing assets. According to @MilkRoadDaily, this Ethereum concentration underpins a bullish view that ETH could move higher.

According to Vitalik Buterin (@VitalikButerin), Ethereum policy discussions are focusing on selecting secure yield-bearing ETH assets and fiat-denominated holdings, with a strong emphasis on alignment with Ethereum's core values and conservative risk management (source: Twitter, June 4, 2025). Notably, the team is considering reallocating portions of fiat reserves into onchain real-world assets (RWAs), which could drive increased institutional interest and liquidity into the crypto yield market. This shift signals potential growth for DeFi protocols that offer compliant, onchain RWA exposure and may strengthen ETH’s position as a foundational yield asset for sophisticated investors.
