RWA Tokenization Projected to Reach $50 Trillion by 2030

Consulting firms and financial institutions project tokenization growth by 2030 between $2 trillion and $16 trillion. Currently, over $50 billion is in tokenized assets, with BlackRock and other major firms investing significantly.

Key points:

  • Tokenization expected to rise from $250 billion today to $30 trillion by 2030 due to U.S. regulatory clarity.
  • New legislation may support stablecoins, enhancing the dollar's global dominance.
  • Stablecoins and treasury-backed tokens could grow to $3 to $5 trillion by 2030 through increased adoption.
  • Asset tokenization will serve as a payment rail for capital markets using blockchain technology.
  • Critics of tokenization may shift to viewing it as essential for finance innovation.
  • Faster adoption anticipated due to better understanding of blockchain benefits by traditional finance and regulators.

By analyzing asset classes and regulatory support, forecasts suggest $50 trillion in annual trading of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) by 2030.
