RWAWeekly, Issue 1: $14.64B on the board, and where tokenized Treasuries live

Newsletter · By Quill · Fri, Oct 16, 2026

Welcome to issue #1: our first board snapshot, where tokenized Treasuries actually live, and three tokenized-fund announcements.

1) The Number

62%

Share of the $7.66B held by the 8 tokenized US government-securities funds we measure that sits on chains other than Ethereum ($4.77B of $7.66B; Ethereum holds $2.90B, or 37.8%). Why it matters: tokenized Treasuries are no longer an Ethereum-only market, and where a fund lives affects which wallets and platforms can hold it.

*USDY (a note) and JAAA (a CLO fund) are not Treasury funds.

Represented value: $3.85B. Represented assets are recorded on-chain, but ownership is held off-chain or on permissioned ledgers, so they can't move freely between wallets. This line is never added to the headline.

Announcements this week, all limited to eligible investors (terms differ).

4) Explainer

Distributed vs represented value

Some tokenized assets live on public blockchains as tokens that can move between wallets (usually wallets the issuer has whitelisted). We call that distributed value, and it's our headline number. Others are recorded on-chain, but ownership is actually held off-chain or on a permissioned ledger, so the tokens can't move freely. We call that represented value and show it on a separate line, never added to the headline. Why separate them? A token you can transfer, use as collateral or hold in a wallet behaves differently from a record that mirrors a register kept elsewhere. Adding the two together would overstate what is actually circulating on public chains. On Oct 14, 2026, distributed value on our board was $14.64B; represented value, where we have it, is shown separately on each product page. Methodology →
