RWA surpasses AI in profitability in 2024
In 2024, the artificial intelligence (AI) sector delivered an extraordinary 2939% profit, outpacing even the rapidly growing meme coins. However, despite this, real-world asset tokenization (RWA) grew steadily and consistently, achieving a 185% return and ultimately becoming the most profitable sector.

Today, new AI projects no longer generate the same enthusiasm due to market saturation. Meanwhile, the RWA sector's slow but steady progress secured its leadership in 2024. Other top-performing sectors include DeFi, Layer 1 and Layer 2 blockchains, gaming, and decentralized exchanges.
Looking ahead, RWA is expected to strengthen its position further as interest in tokenizing real-world assets grows, signaling new trends emerging within the crypto economy.
