Real Estate Sector Persists Growth, fueled by Familiar Financiers comprising Usual Money, Hashnote, and Ondo
In the dynamic world of Decentralised Finance (DeFi), the Real-World Asset (RWA) sector has been making waves over the past couple of months. One project that stands out is Ondo Finance, a multi-chain RWA project that specialises in structured products featuring tokenized real-world credit assets.
Ondo Finance, historically a leader in RWA DeFi infrastructure, recently hit a record TVL (Total Value Locked) of $603 million this month, marking a significant milestone in its growth. This makes Ondo the largest multi-chain RWA project in the DeFi sector.
Powered by a robust multi-chain infrastructure, Ondo aggregates RWAs from leading protocols such as BlackRock BUIDL, Mountain Protocol, and Hashnote to back its native permissionless stablecoin, USD0. In fact, USDY makes up over 55% of Ondo's total value locked.
Usual Money, another RWA project, also saw impressive growth. On September 4, Usual Money reached a record TVL of $222.5 million. Usual Money is a decentralized fiat-backed stablecoin issuer that redistributes ownership and value through its native USUAL token. Interestingly, Usual Money started with zero liquidity in mid-July.
Hashnote, another RWA project, surpassed $250 million in TVL on September 3. However, no new information about Hashnote's TVL or performance was provided in this paragraph.
As of this writing, the total value locked (TVL) in the DeFi RWA sector stands at $5.75 billion, a testament to the sector's growing popularity. This figure represents a significant increase from the $6.6 billion record TVL in the DeFi RWA sector that was reached on August 31.
While the exact current TVL or growth rates for August 2025 are not available for Usual Money, Hashnote USYC, and Ondo Finance, specialized DeFi analytics platforms such as DefiLlama or DeFi Pulse and project official dashboards would be more authoritative sources for precise TVL and growth metrics.
In the broader DeFi landscape, blockchains and protocols like Polygon and Solana have seen impressive TVL growth. For instance, Polygon's TVL grew 43% YOY reaching $1.23B, with QuickSwap and Polymarket leading inflows. Solana’s DeFi TVL surged 30% in Q2 2025 to $8.6B, driven by Kamino Finance.
Despite these broader DeFi growth statistics, they do not reflect specific RWA projects’ metrics, such as Usual Money, Hashnote USYC, and Ondo Finance. For detailed and up-to-date information on these projects, it's recommended to refer to specialized DeFi analytics platforms or project official dashboards.
In conclusion, the DeFi RWA sector has been experiencing rapid growth, with Ondo Finance leading the charge. Usual Money and Hashnote have also shown promising growth, making it an exciting time for investors and enthusiasts in the RWA DeFi space.
