Arbitrum DAO doubles down on real-world asset investments, allotting 15.5 million dollars to RWAs for its treasury strategy.
Arbitrum DAO Expands RWA Investments
Arbitrum DAO has committed $15.5 million to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) as part of its latest treasury strategy. The proposal, approved on Feb. 18, 2025, allocates 35 million ARB to stable assets through the DAO’s Stable Treasury Endowment Program (STEP). This initiative follows a previous 35 million ARB investment in June 2024, bringing the total RWA allocation to 85 million ARB across multiple phases.
Diversification and Yield Generation
STEP aims to diversify the DAO’s treasury while capitalizing on the growing RWA sector. The program has already generated $450,000 in interest for the DAO. Arbitrum previously invested in BlackRock’s BUIDL, Ondo Finance’s USDY, and Superstate’s USTB, among other tokenized products. With BlackRock and Franklin Templeton expanding their offerings on Arbitrum, the network’s RWA market share surged to $70 million in 2024.
Arbitrum’s Growing RWA Presence
The on-chain RWA market continues to grow, with Ethereum leading at $3.8 billion in assets, followed by ZKSync Era ($2 billion) and Stellar ($380 million). Arbitrum’s latest move cements its position as a major player in DeFi’s intersection with traditional finance.
