Despite rsETH Security Incident Heavily Impacting DeFi, RWA's Growth Towards a $2 ...

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, a recent report from Standard Chartered Bank points out that although the theft incident involving KelpDAO's rsETH caused a significant shock to the DeFi ecosystem, it is not enough to change the long-term growth trend of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, said that this event seems more like DeFi is "bent, not broken" and may even serve as an important turning point towards a more resilient industry structure. Standard Chartered maintains its prediction: by the end of 2028, the RWA tokenization market size will grow from $3.5 billion in October 2025 to $2 trillion, with core drivers still coming from the ongoing expansion of liquidity in the DeFi banking system and stablecoins.
