Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is projected to experience significant growth over the next five years, with assets under management potentially exceeding $600 billion by 2030, according to research from the Boston Consulting Group. This growth, expected to make tokenized funds 1% of global mutual funds and ETFs, reflects increasing investor interest. The research highlights bonds as a frontrunner for tokenization due to their structural advantages for blockchain implementation. State Street Global Advisors also emphasizes that the bond market is primed for this transition, alongside the potential of private equity funds. There is currently low, yet growing adoption of RWA tokenization, primarily in government debt and equity stakes in debt funds, with a noted 60% year-to-date rise in non-chain RWA value to $13.25 billion. Additionally, the successful implementation of regulated on-chain money is anticipated to bolster this trend further.
