Aave has reached $1 billion in RWA, split between $527 million each for total RWA active and total RWA on-chain.

This milestone is achieved despite crypto outflows totaling $3.74 billion in the past four weeks.

$AAVE token is up 0.7% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $123.69 at the time of writing.
On Thursday, February 19, Decentralized Finance (DeFi) platform Aave announced that it now has a total of $1 billion in Real World Assets (RWA). Through its flagship marketplace, Aave Horizon, Aave launched tokenized RWA and achieved $600 million in deposits by January 2026. In less than a month, the platform doubled this amount, bringing its active and on-chain RWA to $527 million each.
The news comes as the crypto market has recorded outflows for the fourth week in a row, now totaling $3.74 billion, following last week’s $173 million outflow.
Aave is thriving amid the cryptocurrency outflow
This past week, Bitcoin (BTC) experienced the highest selling pressure, with outflows of $133 million, while Ethereum (ETH) followed with $85 million.
“Crypto funds have now seen withdrawals in 11 of the last 16 weeks,” noted one global capital markets commentator, adding that US-listed Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows of $8.5 billion since October 2025.
CoinShares also highlighted this weakness in the US markets, where outflows exceeded $403 million. Meanwhile, Europe and Canada recorded inflows worth $230 million.
Despite the general outflow, Aave is seeing increased demand for its tokenized assets. This is especially true after the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) cleared its name, encouraging widespread institutional adoption.
