Total Ethereum fees saw a drastic 70% decline this week, signaling a lull in high-velocity DeFi activity

Monthly active addresses for tokenized commodities have climbed over 95% in the last 30 days.
Despite the relatively small holder base of ~230k adresses, the sector has reached $6.86B in market capitalization and more than $18B in monthly transfer volume.

While the market-wide drawdown in TVL has stabilized, only RWA-focused projects have delivered net positive growth over the past 30 days. Onchain gold has grown notably, led by Tether Gold and Paxos Gold.
BlackRock’s BUIDL and Ondo Finance have also shown strong growth.

PYUSD circulating supply has surpassed $4B, increasing 9% month over month.

While tokenized U.S. Treasuries still dominate RWA market cap, equities are the fastest-growing vertical. Combined with the rising DeFi utility of tokenized stocks, this is a clear signal that 2026 is the year of real-world asset utility.

Both Bitcoin and Ether saw significant outflows from exchange wallets this week, hinting at ongoing accumulation amid price weakness.
