The market value of tokenized U.S. Treasuries this week surpassed the $5 billion for the first time, data shows, as demand for blockchain-based real-world assets (RWAs) accelerates.
The world of finance is undergoing a revolution: Tokenized real-world assets, known as digital assets, are rapidly gaining global significance. Experts predict that within a few years, not only real estate but also precious metals, stocks, company shares, artworks, valuable collections, and even industrial facilities will be transformed into digital, blockchain-based assets.
In the transforming digital age, ownership is experiencing a quiet revolution. Historically, owning something—property, gold, art, or a stake in a company—entailed grappling with sheets of paper, intermediaries, and regimes of regulation. With blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, however, a new way of owning is emerging: tokenization.
Tokenized real estate could top $4 trillion by 2035, reshaping property investment as blockchain adoption grows, according to a Deloitte report.
