The real-world digital assets (RWA) market could reach $2 trillion by 2028 thanks to a wave of global Capital shifting to more efficient blockchain.
According to the latest report by investment bank Standard Chartered, the cumulative value of tokenized Real World Assets (RWA) could reach $2 trillion within the next three years, as more and more global Capital flows and payments are shifted to blockchain platforms, which promise transparency, speed and lower costs than the traditional financial system.
The report, published on Thursday and Chia with Cointelegraph, shows that the “trustless” structure of decentralized finance (DeFi) is becoming a formidable rival to traditional finance (TradFi), which is controlled by centralized institutions. Standard Chartered noted that DeFi is expanding strongly not only in the investment sector but also in cross-border payments, creating a foundation for the explosion of RWAs not tied to stablecoins.
