Stablecoins and RWAs Could Be Ethereum’s Biggest Growth Drivers in 2026

Joseph Chalom predicts the global stablecoin market will reach $500 billion by the end of next year, up roughly 62% from today’s levels. With about 54% of stablecoin activity occurring on Ethereum, the network stands to benefit directly from that expansion.

Chalom also forecasts explosive growth in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), estimating the sector could reach $300 billion in 2026. He says tokenization is moving beyond single assets toward entire fund complexes, driven by interest from firms like JPMorgan, Franklin Templeton, and BlackRock.

Together, stablecoins and RWAs could significantly increase Ethereum’s TVL, reinforcing its role as the backbone of institutional onchain finance.
