Major Financial Institutions Accelerate Onchain Asset Migration

**Major institutional adoption accelerates** as tokenized RWAs hit $30B market size, up 4x in two years. **Key developments:** - **Revolut** secured MiCA license for crypto services across 30 European markets - **JPMorgan** plans global Bitcoin/Ether collateral program by end-2025 - **BlackRock COO**: $4.5T in digital wallets will access traditional instruments - **DRW CEO**: Every frequently-traded instrument will be onchain within 5 years Institutional conviction grows as executives predict tokenization's inevitable expansion into mainstream markets.

**Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) have reached a $30 billion market**, representing nearly 4x growth over the past two years according to a16z's State of Crypto 2025 report. **Key market segments driving growth:** - Private credit dominates with $15.5B in active loans - Tokenized Treasuries account for $7.4B, up 500% year-over-year - Gold tokenization shows $2.1B in proven adoption **Ondo Finance has tokenized over $1.8 billion** in RWAs, establishing itself as a major player in the space. While the total RWA market appears large at $300B, **92% consists of stablecoins**. Non-stablecoin RWAs represent just $25B - still only 0.01% of global financial assets despite 2x annual growth. **The sector faces real challenges:** - Most projects rely on trust assumptions they claim to eliminate - Regulatory frameworks remain unclear for public tokenized securities - Data and oracle infrastructure gaps persist However, **genuine adoption is concentrated** in three proven categories: private credit offering 9.7% yields, programmable Treasury yields serving as DeFi collateral, and 24/7 tradeable gold. RWAs are evolving into crypto's yield layer through reliable infrastructure rather than speculative tokenization of everything.

**Major financial leaders are making bold predictions about blockchain adoption in traditional markets.** - DRW Trading CEO Don Wilson and BlackRock COO Rob Goldstein believe **every frequently traded instrument will be onchain within 5 years** - This follows BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's recent statements calling tokenization "the next frontier" for asset management - The vision encompasses **tokenizing all asset classes** - from real estate to equity to bonds **The shift represents a move toward more open, efficient, and accessible markets.** BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, sees this transformation as inevitable rather than speculative. Tokenized assets are already gaining traction through various platforms offering exposure to US Treasuries, stocks, and ETFs. The executives' timeline suggests **mainstream adoption is accelerating faster than many anticipated**. This convergence of traditional finance leaders around blockchain technology signals a significant shift in how markets may operate in the near future.
