Pendle and Maple Finance surge amid Robinhood’s RWA move

Pendle (PENDLE) and Maple Finance (SYRUP) are rallying as tokens in the real-world assets sector gain amid Robinhood’s move related to RWA.

The PENDLE and SYRUP tokens were among the top-gaining cryptocurrencies in the past 24 hours, with the two trading 8% and 13% up, respectively. 

Per CoinMarketCap, the RWA ecosystem tokens were collectively up 1.2% as the market cap hovered near $57.4 billion.

Meanwhile, the daily volume of all top real-world assets-related coins stood at over $5.78 billion, up more than 6.5%.

Pendle and Maple Finance tokens showed greater price surges compared to top RWA coins such as Chainlink, Ondo Finance, Injective, and Quant.

Robinhood, which has made significant strides in its crypto traction, is partly the reason these cryptocurrencies have surged in the past 24 hours.

What’s Robinhood’s RWA proposal?

In a 42-page document, Robinhood details to the US Securities and Exchange Commission its proposal seeking a foray into the tokenized assets space.

The company, which allows users to buy and trade various cryptocurrencies, wants a federal regulatory framework targeted at the issuance and trading of RWA tokens.

Recently, the SEC’s roundtable meeting by the Crypto Taskforce focused on the tokenization trend.

Robinhood’s proposal seeks explosive growth for the sector via a regulatory framework, with this being an on-chain move that could swell institutional interest in tokenized assets.

Both Pendle and Maple Finance are emerging as key players in the sector.

In Robinhood’s view, a federal framework in place of the fragmented, state-controlled compliance mechanisms will be huge for tokens that represent equities, government bonds, or other assets on-chain.

A legal framework on the federal level should also include recognition of such assets as securities.

Robinhood plans to launch a compliant RWA exchange that will tap into Solana and Base.

PENDLE, SYRUP price forecast

While the broader cryptocurrency market hovers in consolidation mode, led by BTC flirting with support above $100k, altcoins such as Pendle and Maple Finance are looking to extend gains.

Pendle, a protocol that allows for the tokenization and trading of future yield, has seen its price spike 8% in the past 24 hours.

The current price of 4.35 signifies an over 45% increase in the last 30 days. If upside momentum builds, PENDLE price could target a retest of $5 and the all-time high of $7.52 reached in April 2024.

Maple Finance, on the other hand, is an on-chain asset manager that combines capital markets expertise with decentralized finance innovation. 

Notable momentum in recent weeks saw the native token SYRUP spike to a new all-time high of $0.3846 on May 18, 2025.

The token traded at lows of $0.08489 in early April, indicating a 353% surge in just over a month.

Other than profit taking, a move into price discovery mode is massive for Maple Finance as bulls may eye the $1 level in the coming weeks.
