Deloitte predicts $4T tokenized real estate on blockchain by 2035
Over $4 trillion in real estate is projected to be tokenized on blockchain networks by 2035, increasing from less than $300 billion in 2024, according to a Deloitte report. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 27%. The shift towards tokenization is driven by changes in property fundamentals due to post-pandemic trends, climate risks, and digitization. Investors are seeking targeted access to modern asset use cases, with tokenization providing customizable exposure. The uncertainty from US import tariffs has heightened interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, with tokenized gold trading volume exceeding $1 billion recently. While growing RWA adoption may encourage regulatory clarity, some industry experts express skepticism about focusing tokenization efforts on real estate, suggesting a demand for more liquid assets instead.
