Citi projects real-world asset tokenization could surge from $17 billion to $5.5 trillion within six years, driven by adoption in Treasuries and equities.
The real-world asset tokenization market may expand from $17 billion to $5.5 trillion by 2030, according to new projections. Estimates range between $2.7 trillion and $8.2 trillion, depending on adoption rates and market conditions.
By 2030, Citi expects 10% of the U.S. Treasury bill market and 3% of public stocks to be tokenized. Stablecoin growth could also generate $1 trillion in new demand for U.S. Treasuries, while a shift to digital trading platforms may drive $2.6 trillion in digital stock demand.
The report highlights potential structural changes in asset trading, though market reactions remain uncertain as adoption timelines vary.
