In the crypto market, trading of Real World Assets (RWA) has emerged as a key factor for attracting new users in the first half of 2026. The number of wallets that utilized the RWA market for the first time on Hyperliquid reached 169,514, with a trading volume totaling $111.6 billion (approximately 153.8 trillion KRW). Arcstream Capital analyzed that the crypto downturn is related to U.S. monetary policy, inflation, and the concentration in AI stocks. The Federal Reserve maintained its target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75% as of June 17, and the median policy rate is projected to be 3.8% by the end of 2026. According to DeFiLlama Research, new wallets in the RWA market account for 31.7% of all new wallets, and the trading volume represents 31.5% of the trading volume from new users. However, the fees generated by the same group of wallets amounted to $34.1 million (approximately 47 billion KRW), which is only 8.3% of the total fees from new users. The RWA perpetual futures market increased from 29 in early 2026 to 336, with quarterly trading volume expanding from approximately $3.6 billion in Q4 2025 to $121.7 billion in Q1 2026.
