Real Asset Token Protocols Expand in DeFi
This increase reflects the integration of traditional assets, such as real estate, bonds, and commodities, into the DeFi ecosystem, as these assets are tokenized and used as collateral in decentralized lending and borrowing protocols.
CoinGecko predicts that the real-asset token market could grow to $10 trillion by 2030, driven by clearer regulations and growing interest from institutional investors, which could unlock liquidity for private equity, real estate, and other assets.
The tokenization of real assets has seen increasing interest from prominent companies.
Ripple has partnered with Axelar to enhance liquidity in the XRPL via interoperability technologies, with a focus on tokenizing real assets.
MANTRA, a layer-one blockchain network, has also raised $11 million to accelerate its efforts in developing real-world asset infrastructure.
MANTRA plans to use the funding to expand its operations in the Middle East and Asian markets, as well as develop tools for developers to build protocols that are compliant with global regulations.
