Flight to Safety: Capital Surges into Stablecoins and Tokenized Assets Ahead of Trump Tariff Shock

Writer: Shefali SharmaShefali Sharma


As global markets brace for President Trump’s April 2 tariff announcement, smart money is already moving.


Bitcoin is down 19%.📉 The S&P 500 has shed 7%.💸 But capital isn’t fleeing—it’s rotating.

Investors are flooding into stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) in search of safety, liquidity, and real-time reallocation. This isn’t just a risk-off move—it’s a structural shift in capital behavior.


According to IntoTheBlock, on-chain capital flows are tilting heavily toward RWAs as macro headwinds intensify.

RWA market cap just hit $17B and is on track to breach $20B in days.

Industry insiders expect a potential $50B surge by year-end, as tokenized assets gain traction from inflation-weary, volatility-wary investors.


What’s driving this?

✅ Geopolitical instability

✅ Fear of a global trade war

✅ Dwindling upside in traditional and crypto markets

✅ A maturing tokenization ecosystem with real-world use cases


RWA tokenization is no longer a “narrative”—it’s a macro hedge and a capital efficiency play. As the $450T global asset market starts unlocking on-chain, expect RWAs to lead the next capital cycle.
