According to Cointelegraph, the RWA tokenization sector saw a breakthrough in 2024 and is expected to grow significantly by the end of the decade. A research report by Tren Finance shows that the RWA market size could grow more than 50 times by 2030 to $4 trillion to $30 trillion. If it reaches the median forecast of $10 trillion, it will be a 54-fold increase from the current $185 billion.
RWA tokenization is expected to capture a significant share of the global financial market, reshaping investment, trading, and asset ownership. Tren Finance points out that the integration of traditional finance and blockchain technology is fundamental to the transition to a more efficient and dynamic financial ecosystem. Currently, stablecoins dominate the RWA market with over $170 billion worth of value, while on-chain securities and treasuries account for only $2.2 billion. RWA tokenization can bring significant advantages across industries, especially in the financial sector, making transactions faster and cheaper and eliminating third-party intermediaries and geopolitical borders. Christian Santagata, product marketing manager of RWA protocol re.al, said that the combination of RWA tokenization and DeFi will bring unlimited possibilities, improve capital efficiency and introduce new financial primitives.
