The real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector has had a breakout year in 2024, paving the way for significant growth through the end of the decade.
The <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/tokenized-real-world-assets-rwa-in-defi" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">RWA tokenization sector</a> could see a more than 50-fold increase by 2030, according to predictions from some of the largest financial institutions and business consulting firms compiled in a Tren Finance research <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://research.tren.finance/the-great-tokenization/" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">report</a>.

If the sector achieves the median prediction of about $10 trillion, it would represent more than 54-times growth from its current value. 
Real-world assets offer substantial growth potential, given that the sector is currently valued at $185 billion, including stablecoins.

This would reshape the financial markets, including how people invest, trade and own assets, according to Tren Finance’s research report, which added:
<blockquote>
 “The integration of traditional finance with blockchain technology is not just a trend, but a fundamental shift towards a more accessible, efficient, and dynamic financial ecosystem.”

Bringing real-world assets to the blockchain can introduce significant benefits across numerous industries, especially in the financial sector.
Tokenization can make transactions faster, cheaper and free from third-party intermediaries and geopolitical boundaries, wrote Christian Santagata, the product marketing manager at RWA protocol re.al.

Continued RWA development could also lead to significant improvements in the <a data-ct-non-breakable="null" href="https://cointelegraph.com/learn/defi-a-comprehensive-guide-to-decentralized-finance" rel="null" target="null" text="null" title="null">decentralized finance (DeFi)</a> space, Santagata said, adding:
<blockquote>
 “DeFi innovations have already revolutionized finance, and when combined with RWA tokenization, the possibilities are endless… This unique combination enhances composability, boosts capital efficiency, and introduces new financial primitives designed for this emerging category.”&nbsp;
