Tokenized Assets ‘Expand Participation in Equity’ and Bring Wall Street On-Chain: Exodus
The tokenization industry is rapidly expanding, with projections estimating its market size could reach $16 trillion by 2030, while McKinsey forecasts a $2 trillion to $4 trillion valuation by the decade's end. Tokenization enhances equity market participation through blockchain technology, enabling 24/7 trading and reducing settlement times from days to minutes. It can lower costs associated with issuing and trading equities by up to 50%. Fractional ownership may make investments in fine wines and real estate more accessible. Analysts suggest the financial sector is just beginning to explore tokenization's potential, with smart contracts expected to transform operations. Future applications extend beyond stocks to bonds, commodities, and alternative investments. Regulatory clarity remains a challenge, but recent interest indicates a willingness to integrate traditional and tokenized assets.
