YZi Labs’ investment comes at a time when RWAs have emerged as one of the fastest-growing sectors in crypto. According to the data from DefiLlama, RWA’s total value locked (TVL) reached an all-time high of $9.9 billion last week. Moreover, the RWA sector has emerged as the best-performing category over the past year, surging by an impressive 237.2%. In contrast, the broader crypto market has experienced mixed results, with some sectors suffering deep losses. While Bitcoin (BTC) has gained 22.2% and privacy coins have risen by 28.2%, their growth pales in comparison to the explosive rise of real-world assets. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) has dropped by 47.7%, and the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector has struggled even more with a 55.8% decline.
