Catenaa, Thursday, January 23, 2025 – Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is expected to hit a landmark $50 billion in 2025, reflecting growing momentum in the financial sector.
This process transforms tangible assets like bonds, real estate, and private credit into digital tokens on the blockchain, making them more accessible, tradable, and manageable.
Moataz Elsayed, co-founder of the non-custodial wallet Okse, sees the expansion of tokenized assets as a game changer, stating, that RWA tokenization had made significant strides recently.
In 2024, tokenized assets reached over $176 billion, up 32% from the previous year, with non-stablecoin assets growing by 53%, according to the Tokenized Asset Coalition (TAC).
Major financial players like BlackRock are leading the charge, with tokenized funds and permissioned services bringing liquidity to real estate and treasuries, unlocking $18 billion in market value.
The surge in tokenization is evident across sectors. Standard Chartered predicts $30 trillion in tokenized assets by 2034, while Boston Consulting Group estimates $16 trillion in tokenized illiquid assets by 2030. Private credit, particularly, has proven a hot sector, with Clearpool Prime securing $124 million in loans since its December 2023 launch.
With growing institutional interest and regulatory shifts, tokenization promises transformative changes in traditional finance.
