RWA active TVL rose 14.5% to a record $4.35 billion in October, despite a 7% decline in total DeFi TVL. Maple led with $1.42 billion, nearly 33% of the sector total, while the top three protocols accounted for 54%.
Why it matters
The split shows RWA utilization expanding while broader DeFi TVL moved lower. That makes the record a sign of relative resilience within the sector, rather than a rise in DeFi overall.
Market impact
Maple held the largest share, followed by Hastra and Centrifuge. The figures put concentration among leading protocols in focus as RWA activity grows.
