Analysts express skepticism about optimistic growth forecasts for tokenized real-world assets (RWA), suggesting a more realistic scenario.
Market Prospects
Tokenizing assets involves issuing security tokens representing tradable assets like real estate, bonds, art, and stocks. Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts believes the forecast of a $30 trillion market by 2030 is too optimistic, suggesting a more realistic figure of $1.3 trillion.
Market Details
In June, McKinsey & Company said tokenized financial assets had a slow start but could reach $2 trillion by 2030. RippleX also forecasts the market value could grow to $16 trillion, eight times the total market value of the entire crypto sector.
Challenges and Issues
Coutts also noted the challenges in valuing market share on the Ethereum platform due to the potential dominance of Layer-2 networks. He emphasized that Layer-2s might capture up to 99% of the revenue, leaving Ethereum with settlement costs only.
Despite some analysts' skepticism, even more cautious forecasts indicate a significant impact of tokenized assets on the Web3 ecosystem.
