PANews reported on October 30 that according to Cointelegraph, according to several recent research reports released by several major traditional financial institutions, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) will usher in explosive growth in the next five years, and its managed assets may exceed US$600 billion by 2030. In a paper published on October 29, the global consulting firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG) called RWA tokenization "the third revolution in asset management", and it is expected that in just seven years, the assets under management of tokenized funds may reach 1% of the assets under management of global mutual funds and ETFs, which means that by 2030, the assets under management will exceed US$600 billion; this trend is expected to continue for some time to come, especially when regulated on-chain currencies (such as regulated stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and CBDC) projects are realized.
In addition, according to another paper from State Street Global Advisors, bonds are expected to lead the mass adoption of tokenized real-world assets due to their structural characteristics. Its report stated that the bond market is ripe for tokenization; the complexity of these instruments, the repetitive nature of issuance costs, and the high level of competition among intermediaries support both rapid adoption and space for significant impact; blockchain technology can play an important role in markets that value transaction speed, such as repurchases and swaps.
Industry analysis platform rwa.xyz noted a recent increase in RWA research papers published by institutions and asset managers in a post on Platform X on Oct. 29. The platform shared that the total off-chain value of RWA is $13.25 billion, up 60% year-to-date.
