The real assets (RWA) market continues to grow as more Wall Street firms move traditional assets to the blockchain. Now, it’s one of the biggest players in the industry, Securitize Announce Significant expansion after raising more than $400 million through its public listing.
The company’s CEO believes tokenized stocks and ETFs could become a multi-billion dollar market, but how big can this opportunity really get?
Securitize raises $400 million for expansion
Securitize, which recently began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), plans to use its new funding to expand its enterprise tokenization business.
CEO Carlos Domingo said the company is now looking to acquire businesses that complement its services rather than buying direct competitors.
“We will have a very strong balance sheet, as the company doesn’t need the entire $400 million just to run it.”
Securitize has already established itself as one of the largest tokenization companies in the industry.
According to RWA.xyz, the company has issued around $4.4 billion worth of token assets. This includes BlackRock’s $2.2 billion BUIDL tokenized treasury fund, along with products for major institutions such as Apollo, KKR, Hamilton Lane and VanEck.
Therefore, Securitize wants to create a complete platform where institutions can issue, manage and trade tokenized securities in one place.
How big can the token stock market get?
While tokenized treasury funds led the first wave of adoption, Domingo believes the next major opportunity is in public stocks and ETFs.
“Tokenized stocks and ETFs are something that we think moves the needle in a big way.”
He explained that the value of the global stock market amounts to about 140 trillion dollars. If just 2% of these assets move to blockchain networks, the token stock market alone could reach around $3 trillion.
newly, Citigroup projects The RWA market could grow to $5.5 trillion by 2030, while Boston Consulting Group and Ripple estimate it could grow to $18.9 trillion by 2033.
Wall Street is moving towards tokenization
Securitize is not alone in pushing tokenized securities.
Earlier this year, the New York Stock Exchange’s parent company, ICE, partnered with Securitize to develop blockchain infrastructure for tokenized stocks. The company has also teamed up with Computershare and Continental to help public companies issue shares directly on the blockchain.
Meanwhile, Nasdaq is exploring tokenization initiatives, while the DTCC, which oversees more than $114 trillion in securities, plans to launch its own securities platform later this year.
With enterprises rapidly entering this sector, the tokenized RWA market has already expanded even further 64 billion dollars.
