McKinsey Report: Tokenized Assets Could Reach $2 Trillion by 2030
🚀 $2T tokenized by 2030?
A recent McKinsey report highlights the shift of tokenized financial assets from pilot to large-scale deployment. Excluding stablecoins and cryptocurrencies, the tokenized market cap across asset classes could hit $2 trillion by 2030.
This aligns with other industry reports, such as KPMG and Singapore FinTech Association's study emphasizing asset tokenization as a paradigm shift in asset management.
Key factors for success include:
- Interoperability between systems and markets
- Seamless communication among participants
Chainlink's Digital Assets Sandbox aims to accelerate innovation in capital markets, enabling financial institutions to conduct tokenization trials within days.
