RedStone’s latest industry report highlights a transformative shift in global finance: projections indicate that up to 30% of the world’s $400+ trillion asset base could be tokenized by 2034235. This would position the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market at a scale over 130 times larger than today’s entire crypto market, which is valued at roughly $3 trillion35.
Key Insights from the Report:
Market Growth: The RWA tokenization sector has surged from $5 billion in 2022 to over $24 billion by June 2025, representing a 380% increase in just three years124.
Institutional Adoption: Major players like BlackRock, JPMorgan, Franklin Templeton, and Apollo have moved beyond experimentation, signaling scaled institutional adoption234.
Private Credit Dominance: Private credit is the largest segment, accounting for over half of the current RWA market at $14 billion, offering yields between 8% and 12%4.
Blockchain Leadership: Ethereum remains the dominant platform for tokenized RWAs, hosting about $7.5 billion in tokenized value as of mid-2025, though Solana and Aptos are emerging as strong challengers4.
Future Potential: If 10–30% of global assets are tokenized by 2030–2034, this could unlock a market worth up to $30 trillion or more, according to Standard Chartered167.
Significance for Investors and Markets:
Scale: The RWA tokenization market is positioned to become a foundational upgrade for global capital markets, not just a new asset class35.
Liquidity and Accessibility: Tokenization reduces operational costs, improves accessibility, and creates robust secondary markets for traditionally illiquid assets24.
DeFi Integration: Regulated frameworks are enabling DeFi platforms to integrate tokenized assets, unlocking new yield and liquidity opportunities23.
