According to data from RWA.xyz, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) currently have a market capitalization of over $16.6 billion.
The tokenized bond market may surge to at least $300 billion by 2030, representing a 30x gain from current levels. Lamine Brahimi, co-founder of Taurus SA — an enterprise-grade digital asset company — told Cointelegraph these were base case figures.
Brahimi cited research from McKinsey, which said the $300-billion estimate was a base case that included government, municipal and corporate bonds.
According to the executive, tokenizing bonds allows for near-instant settlement times, reduces transaction costs, and can democratize the investment process through fractional ownership.
Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), which include bonds, stocks, stablecoins and other real-world items, are projected to reach a $10-trillion market cap by 2030 as the world moves onchain.
