Citi expects tokenization to be the main driver in the blockchain space, one that will mobilize the entire industry into mass adoption. Its report predicts that “tokenization of financial and real-world assets could be the killer use case driving blockchain breakthrough with tokenization expected to grow by a factor of 80x in private markets and reach up to almost $4t in value by 2030.”
“We forecast $4 trillion to $5 trillion of tokenised digital securities and $1 trillion of distributed ledger technology-based trade finance volumes by 2030,” the firm’s analysts write. Of the up to $5 trillion tokenised, the bank estimates $1.9 trillion will come in the form of debt, $1.5 trillion from real estate, $0.7 trillion from private equity and venture capital and between $0.5-1 trillion from securities.
