<h2 id="ethereum-s-role-and-regulatory-considerations-in-tokenization">Ethereum's Role and Regulatory Considerations in Tokenization</h2>
<p><strong>Standard Chartered released</strong> a report highlighting a vast potential for tokenized RWAs to grow from $350 billion to $20 trillion by 2026. <strong>Geoff Kendrick</strong>, Head of Foreign Exchange and Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered, considers <a href="https://blog.cfte.education/types-of-digital-assets-explained/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">stablecoins</a> a key drive.</p>
<p><strong>Key allocations include $7.5 trillion</strong> in money market funds and U.S. stocks, contributing significantly to the projections. Additional investments of $2.5 trillion are anticipated for private equity sectors, including commodities and real estate.</p>
<blockquote>
 "The success of stablecoins in 2025 has started to disrupt TradFi payment networks and savings. It has also set three important DeFi boom preconditions in motion — raised awareness in developed markets, created the necessary liquidity on-chain, and driven an expansion of on-chain lending and borrowing." - Geoff Kendrick, Head of Foreign Exchange and Digital Assets Research, Standard Chartered
