Research from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and ADDX arrived at a figure of $16 trillion as a conservative estimate of the number of assets that will be tokenized by 2030.
What Happened: In a recent report examining the relevance of on-chain asset tokenization in a crypto winter, analysts at BCG and ADDX said that multiple asset classes that are “only accessible to limited wealthy investors” could soon become part of a large-scale tokenization industry.
The report’s authors named pre-IPO stocks, hedge funds, real estate, infrastructure projects, commodities, and private credit in its list of illiquid assets that could soon be on-chain.
The authors noted that this estimate was a “highly conservative forecast” and that tokenization potential could reach as high as $68 trillion by 2030 in the best-case scenario.
“Onchain asset tokenization helps reimagine the end-to-end process of finding and matching investors with investment opportunities, and the subsequent secondary market opportunities once an investment has been made,” they said.
By this process, an issuer would mint digital tokens representing a fraction of asset ownership on the blockchain and guarantee immutable and transparent ownership to the holder.
