- RWA is still in the early stages, but the BlackRock move could increase momentum.
- Securitize founder believes that mainstream adoption is feasible if RWA hit $1 trillion mark.
Carlos Domingo, Securitize’s founder and CEO, has reiterated that tokenized real-world assets (RWA) will gain momentum if they reach the $1 trillion milestone.
Domingo, whose firm handles BlackRock’s tokenized BUIDL Fund tokens redemptions and placement, emphasized that;
“For tokenized real-world assets, I think we’re in the early stages—like what crypto was before. Even if you add stablecoins, we’re still not at the $200B/$300B mark.”
He added,
“As an industry, I think once we hit the $1 trillion mark of real-world assets on-chain, that’s when this becomes an important part of capital markets and financial services.”
However, the RWA segment could hit the $1 trillion milestone in the next 2-5 years. Especially as momentum picks up after BlackRock’s foray with its Ethereum [ETH]-based BUIDL Fund.
Beyond BUIDL Fund and tokenized US treasuries
After its impact on spot Bitcoin [BTC] ETFs, market watchers have keenly tracked BlackRock’s digital asset strategy.
The move into tokenized real-world assets (RWA) through its Ethereum-based BUIDL (BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity) Fund has heated up tokenized US treasuries.
The overall tokenized US treasuries hit the $1 billion mark shortly after BUIDL’s debut, per Dune Analytics data.
