Real-World Asset Tokenization Rises Over 185.8% in 2025 While Gaming and DePIN Fall, CoinGecko Reports
In 2025, CoinGecko data show real-world asset tokenization climbs by 185.8%. Investors push these tokens as they gain access to physical items like buildings, art, and metals. At the same time, tokens in gaming and physical network projects drop a great deal. This shift brings a new focus to the market.
Real-World Assets Now Lead
Tokenization turns physical things into digital tokens on a blockchain. The assets become parts of a whole that investors can own. The tokens bring lower entry costs and clearer records. They also allow faster trades in a market that used to be slow and costly.
Data from CoinGecko show that tokenized assets outperformed nearly every other group of tokens in 2025. Some tokens in this class earned gains in the triple digits. Investors paid attention to assets that hold value outside the digital world. They sought tokens that mix the old ways of finance with modern tools.
Solid Performance of Layer-1 Blockchains
Layer-1 blockchains form the base for many apps and finance projects. These blockchains earned an average return of 80.31%. Developers build on them, and users work with them every day. People choose these blockchains as they support tokens that promise clear returns. The stable growth of this base helped many projects move forward.
A Fall in Gaming and DePIN
Tokens used for gaming lost about 75.16% of their value in 2025. Networks that support physical projects fell roughly 76.74%. These losses show that tokens based on trends can slip when plans do not meet hopes. The market now picks projects with clear steps to create value.
What This Means for the Market
CoinGecko’s report shows that gains in one token group do not hide drops in others. Some tokens in the asset group rose high, while others did not meet their goals. The returns on layer-1 systems and other tokens also varied a lot. Those who take part in this market check token facts, developer work, and real use before they invest.
The growth of tokenized assets points to a future where physical items work with new digital tools. For example, digital property tokens let many investors own small shares of a building. This method makes it easier and faster to trade items that once needed large sums and long deals.
