Outlook of RWAs

Based on a report by the Boston Consulting Group, tokenized assets are estimated to be a US$16 trillion market by 2030. This would make up 10% of global GDP by the decade’s end, a significant increase from US$310B in 2022.

This estimate includes on-chain asset tokenization (more relevant to the blockchain industry) and traditional asset fractionalization (e.g., exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), real estate investment trusts). Considering the potential market size, PolyFarm capturing a small percentage of the market would be a boom for the blockchain industry.

The tokenization of illiquid assets is estimated to be a US$16T business opportunity by 2030

Even at US$16T, tokenized assets will still be a small fraction of the current total global asset value, estimated to be worth US$900T (less than 1.8%, to be exact, and not factoring in future global asset value growth). PolyFarm may even argue that the true addressable market is the entire global asset market, given that anything tokenizable could be represented as RWAs on-chain.
