In a recent report, Standard Chartered Bank stated that the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) could reach a cumulative value of $20 trillion in the next three years, as more global capital and payment activities shift to more efficient blockchain networks.

The trustless structure of DeFi is poised to challenge the dominance of traditional financial systems controlled by centralized entities (TradFi). Standard Chartered predicts that the market value of non-stablecoin tokenized RWAs could reach $20 trillion by 2028 as DeFi applications grow in payments and investments. Within this $20 trillion, it is estimated that $750 billion will flow into money market funds, $750 billion into tokenized US stocks, $250 billion into tokenized US funds, and an additional $250 billion into the less liquid portion of private equity, including commodities, corporate bonds, and tokenized real estate.

Currently, the cumulative value of RWAs is approximately $35 billion. Achieving a market value of $20 trillion would mean a growth of over 57 times in the next three years.
