Tokenized RWAs Poised for $35B Milestone as Institutional Interest Surges

Real-world asset tokenization has quietly surpassed $25 billion in market value, with Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo projecting a $35 billion year-end target. The sector has grown 250% since January, climbing from $1.1 billion to $3.94 billion in Securitize's ecosystem alone.

Tokenized treasuries illustrate the explosive growth, nearly doubling from $4 billion to $7.5 billion in 2024. "Every major US asset manager and bank is now evaluating tokenization," Domingo observed, noting a paradigm shift from regulatory concerns to implementation strategies. The conversation has evolved from 'if' to 'when and what' to tokenize.

Institutional hesitation now centers on demand identification rather than legality. Firms increasingly consult tokenization specialists about suitable assets, though misconceptions persist about focusing solely on illiquid holdings like real estate. BlackRock's partnership with Securitize continues to lend credibility to the space.
