Real-world asset tokenization is a game-changer for blockchain, allowing ownership of various assets like real estate and equities to be recorded on the blockchain. Stablecoins surged in 2025 due to U.S. legislation, opening doors for on-chain transactions and global money transfers. Tokenization could transform industries like U.S. Treasuries, equity trading, real estate, and cryptocurrency.

Tokenized U.S. Treasury assets are a significant portion of on-chain assets, with $8.7 billion out of $19.4 billion in real-world asset tokenization. Equity and commodity trading are becoming more accessible and streamlined through tokenization, despite concerns about investor safeguards. Real estate tokenization is poised for growth, with $4 trillion projected to be tokenized by 2035. Cryptocurrency could see a surge in usage due to RWA tokenization, potentially reaching $2 trillion by 2030.

Major financial institutions like BlackRock and JPMorgan have already launched tokenized funds, signaling the growing importance of tokenization. With stablecoin usage on the rise, tokenization could revolutionize transactions, with a potential majority settling on the blockchain. Ethereum and Solana are key players in the RWA tokenization market, with Ethereum leading in distributed RWA value on-chain.
