Citrini predicts RWA tokenization boom. The harder question is who profits
Summary
Citrini Research argues that tokenization is giving blockchains a clearer purpose as stocks, bonds, credit and other assets move onchain. Stablecoins, wallets, DeFi and trading platforms could enable assets to function across applications as programmable collateral, lending and trading instruments. The investment benefits remain uncertain: revenue may go to infrastructure providers, distributors, protocols or the networks hosting tokenized assets. Some analysts see AI agents managing finances as a further reason to make assets accessible around the clock through programmable systems. The market is still small, and future leaders may differ from today’s candidates.
