Bitwise says crypto equities outpaced every major asset class in the first half of 2026, except emerging markets, according to The Block. The firm reported that crypto equities gained 23% during the period while crypto assets declined 36%.

The Block also cited Bitwise data showing tokenized real-world assets hit a record $33.0 billion in Q2.

The figures highlight a divergence between broader crypto asset performance and equity exposure tied to the sector, with tokenized RWAs continuing to expand even as spot crypto declined over the first half.
