Standard Chartered: RWA Area Market Value May Reach $20 Trillion by 2028

By: theblockbeats.news|2025/10/30 22:45:58

BlockBeats News, October 30th, Standard Chartered Bank released a report stating that as more global capital and payment activities migrate to more efficient blockchain networks, the total value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) could reach $20 trillion in the next three years.

DeFi's "trustless" structure is poised to challenge the dominant position of the traditional financial system (TradFi) controlled by centralized entities. Standard Chartered predicts that as DeFi's applications in payments and investments grow, the market value of non-stablecoin tokenized RWAs could reach $20 trillion by 2028. Within this $20 trillion, it is expected that:

$7.5 trillion will flow into money market funds
$7.5 trillion will flow into tokenized U.S. stocks
$2.5 trillion will flow into tokenized U.S. funds
An additional $2.5 trillion will flow into the "less liquid" portion of private equity, including commodities, corporate bonds, and tokenized real estate.

Currently, the total value of RWAs is approximately $350 billion. If it reaches a $20 trillion market cap, it means a growth of over 57 times in the next three years.
