RWA integration with DeFi could grow the market ‘10x,’ Securitize CEO says
Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, believes the integration of Real World Assets (RWA) with decentralized finance (DeFi) could significantly increase the market size. Currently, tokenized treasuries represent a mere $4 billion out of a $15.2 billion total RWA market on-chain, excluding stablecoins. Analysts from VanEck and Bitwise project the RWA space could grow to $50 billion. Domingo estimates that the Treasury market could expand to $10 to $20 billion as stablecoins reach $200 billion. He sees this growth as realistic due to new product offerings and DeFi integrations expected in the upcoming year. Additionally, Domingo highlights that the utility of tokens has propelled tokenization into the mainstream, noting advancements such as faster transferability and using tokens as collateral. Despite hiring challenges in a competitive market, he remains optimistic about the tokenization movement, stating that this will be a pivotal year for the industry.
