The tokenized real-world asset market has exploded from roughly $6.4 billion at the start of 2025 to around $34 billion today. Some forecasts predict the sector could reach $2 trillion by 2028 and nearly $19 trillion by 2033.

The biggest challenge is no longer tokenization itself. The real challenge is ensuring assets can operate across different compliance frameworks, exchanges, custodians, and financial institutions. As more traditional assets move onchain, infrastructure and standards may become the next major battleground for blockchain adoption.
