NEUCHÂTEL, CH / ACCESS Newswire / August 28, 2025 / ORIGYN's Total Value Locked (TVL) has reached another milestone of $51.3 million, a powerful signal of growing trust, adoption, and validation of certified real-world assets on-chain.

But what does that mean, and why does it matter?

What is ORIGYN's TVL and why it matters

In the world of blockchain, TVL - Total Value Locked refers to the total worth of assets that are secured or "locked" within a protocol. For ORIGYN, TVL represents the total appraised or purchase value of all real-world assets that have been certified and tokenized using the ORIGYN Protocol.

These values aren't random. Each asset (whether it's gold, art, or jewelry) is certified through expert appraisal at the time of minting, with ownership and history securely stored on-chain.

This isn't about digital speculation, it's about real assets with real value, transparently brought onto the blockchain.

What drove the latest increase in ORIGYN's TVL?

Several key asset classes contributed to the jump in TVL this quarter. Here's a closer look at the highlights:
