By 2027, the value of Linea for projects in tokenized real assets (RWA) and decentralized finance (DeFi) will be determined by several key factors:
Scalability and efficiency: As a Layer 2 (L2) network for Ethereum utilizing zkEVM technology, Linea offers high throughput and low fees compared to the Ethereum main network. This is critically important for RWA and DeFi, where efficient processing of a large number of transactions is required, including operations with tokenized assets and the execution of complex financial smart contracts.
Security and compatibility with Ethereum: Linea will inherit the security of Ethereum and provide full compatibility with the EVM. For institutional investors and RWA projects, where security and compliance with standards are a priority, this will be a significant advantage.
Support from ConsenSys: The development of Linea by ConsenSys (a major player in the Ethereum ecosystem, behind MetaMask) gives the network institutional credibility and may help attract large financial institutions and traditional companies looking to enter the RWA market.
Developed ecosystem and liquidity: Linea shows rapid growth of its ecosystem and TVL (total value locked). By 2027, further development of its DeFi protocols (such as Lynex, Mendi Finance) is expected, providing the necessary liquidity for the RWA market. Liquidity is a key factor for successful asset tokenization.
Institutional adoption of RWA: Analysts' forecasts, including Standard Chartered, suggest that the RWA market could reach $2 trillion by 2028. Linea may become the preferred platform for this growth due to its focus on institutional standards and scalability.
Thus, by 2027, Linea has the potential to become one of the leading platforms for RWA and DeFi, attracting projects that require the security and reliability of Ethereum combined with high performance and institutional support.
