The real-world asset (RWA) sector has cooled, with RWA tokens down 3.7% over the past month, underperforming narratives like liquid staking and GameFi. Still, the long-term growth story remains intact.
Yet, despite the correction, a handful of RWA altcoins to watch in September are flashing strong fundamentals and price setups.
Chainlink (LINK)
Chainlink remains the most recognized RWA altcoin, and the recent announcement of a US Department of Commerce partnership to bring government macroeconomic data on-chain only reinforces its credibility.
On-chain data shows whales and top addresses positioned early. Whale balances rose 29.52% in August, bringing holdings to 5.03 million LINK. That means whales added roughly 1.15 million LINK, worth nearly $27 million at today’s price of $23.47.
The top 100 addresses now hold 646.8 million LINK, up 0.47%, with an addition of approximately 3 million LINK, equivalent to around $70 million. Exchange balances dropped by 4.19%, a bullish outflow trend that reduces sell pressure.

Despite a slow week, LINK remains in an uptrend, posting gains worth over 30% month-on-month. While bears pressed it down by 5.9% this week, bulls have largely maintained control. Every time the bears have tried to take control of the LINK price action, bulls have intervened, as shown by the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) indicator.
The Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicator measures whether buyers (bulls) or sellers (bears) are driving momentum.
A clean breakout above $25.80 would open a move toward $27.62, and beyond that, Fibonacci extension targets suggest a path as high as $43.04.
Failure to hold $22.86, however, could invite deeper pullbacks, but current whale and exchange flows argue for continued resilience. With whales stacking, LINK ETF talks surfacing, and a government-linked partnership validating fundamentals, Chainlink is a leading RWA coin to watch in September.
Ondo (ONDO)
Ondo is one of the fastest-growing names in the RWA token space. It bridges real-world assets like US Treasuries and corporate bonds into tokenized form for on-chain investors.
Whales have been quietly adding through late August. The 100 million to 1 billion ONDO cohort grew holdings from 981.38 million ONDO on August 24 to 989.53 million ONDO at press time. That is an accumulation of 8.15 million ONDO, worth about $7.4 million at current prices of roughly $0.91.
Technically, ONDO is showing a bullish divergence. Since August 19, the price has made lower lows, but the RSI has printed higher lows. This divergence hints at waning bearish pressure and a potential reversal. ONDO is up 13.2% over the past three months, showing the broader trend is still intact despite short-term weakness.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) tracks the speed of price moves to show whether an asset is overbought or oversold. Higher values mean stronger buying, while lower values indicate heavier selling.
Immediate resistance sits near $0.93. A breakout above $0.9786 would validate the bullish divergence and open targets at $1.14.
Maple Finance (SYRUP)
Maple Finance is a credit marketplace focused on institutional lending, and its native Syrup (SYRUP) token has been gaining steady traction as one of the RWA coins to watch.
Performance has been notable. Over the past three months, Syrup has gained 39.9%. In the last month, it is up 4.2%, while seven-day gains stand at 14%. The consistency of these numbers reflects that Syrup has not disappointed despite market volatility.
On-chain data supports this strength. Top 100 addresses increased holdings by 16.79%, adding about 160 million SYRUP, worth approximately $72 million at the current price of $0.45.
Exchange balances dropped by 23.51%, or around 69 million tokens (about $31 million), reflecting a supply squeeze. Whales did trim positions by nearly 59%, but this impact has been outweighed by accumulation from larger cohorts and steady outflows from exchanges.
SYRUP price action also remains constructive. A sustained hold above $0.42 keeps bulls in control. A breakout above $0.53 could fuel momentum toward $0.62–$0.77 in September. With bulls being in control, courtesy of the green Bull-Bear Power indicator candles, a move on the upside looks likely.
However, if Syrup falls below $0.38, the bullish setup would be invalidated, and sellers would take over. Given its steady accumulation and resilience during volatile weeks, Maple Finance and its Syrup token have earned their spot as one of the top RWA altcoins to watch in September.
