The real asset tokenization (RWA) market is forecast to experience explosive growth, reaching a size of $10 trillion by 2030, 54 times the current size, opening up opportunities for the global financial sector.
According to the latest research report from Tren Finance, the real asset tokenization (RWA) sector is on a strong growth trajectory, with a forecast of over 50-fold growth during the 2024-2030 period. Leading financial institutions and business consulting firms estimate that the RWA market size will reach between $4 trillion and $30 trillion by the end of this decade. If it reaches the medium-level forecast of around $10 trillion, this sector will grow more than 54 times compared to the current value of $185 billion, including stablecoins.
The development of RWA is driven by the widespread potential applications of blockchain technology in digitizing traditional assets such as real estate, stocks, bonds, and commodities. The tokenization process enables faster, more transparent, and more efficient transactions, while eliminating the reliance on third-party intermediaries and reducing geopolitical barriers.
Currently, stablecoins still dominate the RWA sector with a value of over $170 billion. However, other asset types such as tokenized securities and bonds are also gaining attention, with a total value of $2.2 billion. The Tren Finance report suggests that the integration of traditional finance and blockchain technology is not just a temporary trend, but a fundamental transformation towards a more flexible, efficient, and accessible financial ecosystem.
Bringing real assets onto the Block chain brings many benefits to various industries, particularly the financial sector. For example, tokenizing real estate can simplify the buying and selling process, reduce transaction costs, and increase the liquidation of the market. Tokenizing stocks and bonds can help investors easily access international capital markets and manage their investment portfolios more efficiently.
Christian Santagata, product marketing director at RWA Protocol re.al, believes that the development of RWA can also significantly improve the decentralized finance (DeFi) space. "The innovations in DeFi have revolutionized the financial industry, and when combined with RWA tokenization, the potential will be limitless," Santagata shared. "This unique combination not only increases interoperability and improves Capital efficiency, but also opens up new financial principles for this emerging segment."
