Castle Labs report: The RWA market size has reached $28.2 billion, with only 10% entering DeFi

Castle Labs says the global on-chain RWA market reaches $28.2 billion, with only about 10% entering DeFi. The main reason is that public ledgers expose balances and customer data, not technical bottlenecks. The four key privacy pillars are ZK, FHE, MPC, and TEE. In the first half of 2026, institutional solutions have already been deployed, including Aztec, Arcium, Circle Arc, and StarkWare/Sui. The Zcash vulnerability has been fixed via a hard fork, and Roman Storm’s retrial is scheduled for the fall.
