This report ranks 27 digital assets by measured institutional adoption: ETF assets under management, named bank and asset manager deployments, on-chain real-world-asset value, and regulatory licenses. It is built from TokenSonar's continuously updated registry, which scans regulatory filings and 15+ news sources twice daily and scores only production-grade, publicly attributable activity. Press and researchers are free to cite any figure with attribution.
Scores are 0 to 100, computed from ETF AUM, named institutional partnerships, on-chain RWA value, regulatory licenses, and institutional news velocity. Snapshot taken July 24, 2026; live scores update twice daily on the TokenSonar dashboard.

Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP all score 84 or above; the fifth-ranked asset drops ten points to 74. The gap reflects a pattern in the underlying evidence: top-4 assets hold live spot ETFs, verified tier-1 institution deployments, and (except Bitcoin, an ETF Play by archetype) meaningful tokenized asset bases. Mid-table assets typically excel in one channel, such as a strong bank pilot pipeline, without the fund layer or RWA depth to match.
Each asset is scored 0 to 100 across four evidence pillars: ETF assets under management, named bank and asset manager partnerships, on-chain real-world-asset value, and regulatory licenses, with a news velocity signal from twice-daily scanning of 15+ sources. Institutions are counted only for production-grade, publicly attributable activity; pilots without follow-through and unconfirmed press reports are excluded. Status changes to ETF listings require two independent sources. The full methodology is public at tokensonar.com/methodology.html.
