Active deployment of tokenized real-world assets within DeFi has climbed back to roughly $3.77 billion, according to DefiLlama data, nearly matching levels seen before an April 18 exploit. That incident, linked to KelpDAO, contributed to a broader $13 billion contraction across DeFi within 48 hours. The recovery took approximately 95 days, spanning from the initial shock to July 22. The rebound suggests the sector absorbed the disruption relatively quickly, with tokenized RWAs regaining traction as a component of decentralized finance activity. Real-world assets, which represent traditional instruments such as bonds and credit brought on-chain, have become an increasingly watched category within DeFi. The return to pre-exploit figures points to sustained demand despite the earlier setback, though the episode underscores ongoing security risks that continue to affect protocols and user confidence across the ecosystem.
