Tokenizing Real Assets Is Rising
Real asset tokenization (RWA) is transitioning from theory to practical financial tool. Financial institutions and native blockchain companies have made many moves to promote RWA. Last week, BlackRock filed to create a stock layer on digital ledger technology for the Treasury Trust fund worth 150 billion USD. The DLT stock will track the BLF Treasury Trust Fund (TTTXX).
On the same day, Libre announced a plan to tokenize 500 million USD of Telegram's debt through a new Telegram Bond Fund (TBF). In Dubai, MultiBank Group signed a 3 billion USD agreement with MAG real estate group and blockchain infrastructure provider Mavryk. This is currently the largest RWA tokenization initiative.
This rise comes from clear regulations in major markets and increasingly robust technology. Large organizations are also participating, such as BlackRock, Citi, and Franklin Templeton. According to Marcin Kazmierczak, RedStone co-founder, adoption by large organizations increases credibility for RWA.
Clear regulations and technological opportunities, especially cryptocurrency wallets, are also driving tokenization. Macro pressures are forcing organizations to seek effective and liquid methods in traditionally illiquid markets.
Ethereum remains the center of RWA tokenization due to its mature ecosystem and robust infrastructure. However, specialized networks like Canton Network, Plume, and Ondo Chain are creating attractive alternatives.
Challenges still exist, especially in regulations and technical limitations. However, hybrid models are gaining attraction by providing the privacy of licensed systems with future public compatibility.
Predictions suggest over 10% of global financial assets will be tokenized by the end of this decade, with the RWA market potentially reaching 30-50 trillion USD. This growth could transform how financial assets are managed and used globally.
