Oracle and IPDN Accelerate Institutional Tokenization as RWA Market Quadruples to $30 Billion

Oracle announced the launch of its Digital Assets Data Nexus platform on October 27, 2025, designed to enable banks and financial institutions to issue, manage, and settle tokenized assets on-chain. The enterprise-grade platform, powered by Oracle Blockchain and Oracle AI Database 26ai, features multi-ledger infrastructure, pre-built tokenization smart contracts, and support for both public and permissioned Ethereum-based blockchains. Wei Hu, senior vice president of high availability technologies at Oracle, stated that the platform addresses scalability, resiliency, security, integration, and regulatory compliance, with an official launch expected in 2026.

Concurrently, Professional Diversity Network (IPDN) revealed a strategic collaboration with QBSG Limited to develop a global Real-World Asset (RWA) Exchange, aimed at bridging regulated capital markets with blockchain rails for tokenizing equities, real estate, and commodities. These moves underscore a rapid shift toward institutional-grade tokenization, aligning with broader industry efforts by firms like JPMorgan, Citi, and BlackRock, which have unveiled tokenization pilots this year.

The RWA market has surged to $30 billion, quadrupling in just two years, according to reports from a16z and HTX Ventures. On-chain data highlights that Ethereum hosts $9.6 billion in total RWA issuance, while BlackRock leads with $2.6 billion in tokenized Treasuries. Tokenized private credit accounts for $12–16 billion, representing over half of all RWA activity. This growth signals that real-world assets are becoming a backbone of institutional blockchain adoption, moving beyond niche experiments into mainstream finance.
