An expert from CoinDesk, Sanjay Raghavan, has published a new article discussing the key trends in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) for 2024. In the article, he notes that the crypto industry has witnessed various events, including the collapse of major projects such as Terra (LUNA), Celsius, Voyager, and FTX, as well as crises related to the bankruptcies of Silvergate, Signature, Silicon Valley Bank, and other financial institutions.
The expert emphasizes that the tokenization of real-world assets is an important blockchain investment mechanism that involves real physical assets, including real estate, cars, and other tangible objects. In his opinion, in 2024, there are 7 key trends in this field.
The first of these trends is stablecoins. The market capitalization of stablecoins is approximately $125 billion, and they form the foundation of the infrastructure that will contribute to the development of the digital economy.
Next are tokenized treasury bonds. Several companies, such as Franklin Templeton, Ondo, Backed, Maple, Open Eden, and Superstate, have already taken leading positions in this area. According to data from the RWA.xyz platform, this new asset class has already reached a capitalization of $700 million.
Collectible NFTs and non-fungible tokens from consumer brands will be in demand. Companies such as Nike, Adidas, Louis Vuitton, Coca-Cola, and Starbucks are already actively using digital technology to showcase their products. In addition, there is significant interest in DeFi products in the field of climate and regenerative financing, tokenized deposits, and wholesale banking operations.
