The Canton Network (CC), powered by the Broadridge DLR (Distributed Ledger Repo), leads the RWA table. As of Sunday, it hosts 7,673 projects with a total value of $330.1 billion, dominating the RWA market with over 88% share.

The chain’s RWAs operate within a siloed, permissioned infrastructure for institutions supported by a consortium of traditional finance (TradFi) giants, including, but not limited to, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, and Cboe.

Ethereum (ETH) ranks second in the number of RWAs with 644 projects, worth $13 billion. However, Provenance (HASH), a purpose-built blockchain for financial products scaled for innovators and institutions, has flipped the Ethereum network in RWA value, reaching $14.7 billion. Interestingly, these figures only come from a single RWA project.

Solana (SOL) notably makes up $1.1 billion out of its 319 projects, putting it in third place in terms of RWA count. On the other hand, ZKsync Era (ZK) is third on the list by value at $2.6 billion, stemming from 48 initiatives.
