Most institutional RWA capital is concentrated in EMEA and APAC hours

The chart breaks down Arrakis Finance's operating-band analysis across 2,053 placed operators and $20.8B in placed notional. By dollars, EMEA leads with 44% ($9.2B), APAC follows with 34% ($7.0B), and the Americas trail at 22% ($4.6B). Operator count tells the same story: 42% EMEA, 40% APAC, 18% Americas.

The buyer base here isn't mainly US-centric. For RWA issuers, distribution during European and Asian working hours may matter more than a strategy built around North American attention — one more sign that RWA marketing needs to match where capital is actually active.
