Citigroup predicts that the tokenized securities market will reach $5.5 trillion by 2030.

On June 1st, according to CoinDesk, Citigroup released a report predicting that the tokenized real-world asset market will grow from the current $17 billion to $5.5 trillion by 2030, potentially reaching $8.2 trillion in an optimistic scenario. Three main drivers are: traditional market infrastructure such as the DTCC, Nasdaq, and NYSE will embed tokenization into their core trading systems; the stablecoin market is projected to reach $1.9 trillion, creating approximately $1 trillion in new demand for US Treasury bonds; and the advancement of the US Clarity Act will provide a clearer regulatory framework. Citigroup assumes that by 2030, 10% of the US Treasury bond market and 3% of the US stock market will be tokenized, and if 10% of US investors shift to digital trading platforms, this will create $2.6 trillion in demand for digital stocks. The old and new financial systems will operate in parallel for many years, with "structural coordinators" controlling asset and payment tracks gaining an advantage.
