Electric Capital Maps 501 Real-World Yield Sources, Finds 93% Untouched by DeFi

Electric Capital published a research report on Monday, cataloging 501 distinct sources of real-world yield and cross-referencing them against tokenized assets with meaningful on-chain traction today.

The venture firm found that only 34 of those yield sources have any on-chain presence above $50 million, and they cluster in familiar territory: U.S. Treasuries, private credit, corporate bonds, and non-U.S. sovereign debt.

The remaining 93% fall into seven groups defined by what's blocking tokenization, ranging from legal structuring challenges for asset-backed securities to real-world integration hurdles for commodities and compute infrastructure.
