RWA Tokenization Sector Could Experience 50x Growth by 2030

The real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector is on track for explosive growth, with projections indicating a 50-fold increase by 2030. Following a breakout year in 2024, RWA tokenization has captured the attention of major financial institutions and consulting firms, as outlined in a Tren Finance research report. Predictions suggest that the sector’s market size could rise to between $4 trillion and $30 trillion by the decade’s end, with a median forecast of $10 trillion—representing over 54 times its current value of $185 billion.

Real-world assets, including tokenized securities and treasuries, are poised to claim a significant share of global financial markets, reshaping how people invest, trade, and own assets. Tren Finance’s report highlighted that the integration of traditional finance with blockchain technology marks a pivotal shift toward a more accessible and dynamic financial ecosystem.

Bitcoin Demand Surges, Potentially Driving BTC to $70K

Bitcoin (BTC) demand has surged in recent weeks, potentially driving the cryptocurrency toward a new high of $70,000. After a period of muted activity since May, BTC saw a 177,000 BTC increase in apparent demand last week, preceding a 5% rally in price. The recent uptick helped push Bitcoin's price to over $67,800, marking a ten-week high, according to data from CoinDesk Indices.

Inflows into U.S. BTC ETFs have also contributed to this bullish trend, with $458.5 million entering the market during Wednesday's trading session. According to CryptoQuant analysts led by Julio Moreno, this increase in apparent demand could sustain Bitcoin's rally to a new all-time high, as demand levels historically peaked at 490,000 to 550,000 BTC before record-breaking rallies in 2020-2021 and 2024.
