The tokenization of real-world assets, including the U.S. Treasury market, is rapidly growing and has exceeded a total value of $13 billion. The tokenized U.S. Treasury market alone is valued at $2.5 billion, showcasing the adoption of blockchain technology to digitize traditionally illiquid assets. Tokenized assets span various categories such as private credit, stocks, global bonds, and stablecoins. Tokenized treasuries are attractive to both institutional and retail investors due to their liquidity and accessibility to high-yield, secure assets. These digital assets are issued on public blockchains like Ethereum, providing transparency and reducing transaction costs. Tether's Q3 net profit of $2.5 billion, primarily driven by gains from its holdings of U.S. Treasuries, demonstrates the lucrative nature of tokenized treasuries. Key players in the market include platforms like Matrixdock and Backed Finance, offering tokenized short-term Treasury bills and bonds. The tokenized asset market is projected to grow exponentially, potentially accounting for 10% of global GDP by 2030. Tokenization of traditionally static asset classes, such as U.S. Treasuries, provides new liquidity pathways and investment opportunities.
