Introduction

In a significant forecast, Standard Chartered has projected that the capitalization of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) will soar to an impressive $2 trillion by 2028. This anticipated growth brings these assets on par with the current volume of stablecoin markets. The bank’s report, shared with Cointelegraph, underscores a burgeoning trend where more global capital and payment transactions are transitioning to efficient blockchain solutions, sparking exponential growth in decentralized finance (DeFi) and RWA.

The Growth Engine

Liquidity in stablecoins and DeFi banking is crucial for the swift expansion of tokenized assets. Jeff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets at Standard Chartered, emphasizes that they foresee exponential growth in the RWA sector in upcoming years. As per data from RWA.xyz, the combined capitalization of tokenized real-world assets currently stands at $35.5 billion. Standard Chartered’s projection indicates an astounding increase—over fifty-seven times by 2028.

Market Breakdown

The bank anticipates that out of the projected $2 trillion:
– $750 billion will be attributed to money market funds.
– Another $750 billion will go into tokenized US equities.
– Tokenized American funds are expected to hold $250 billion.
– The remaining $250 billion will comprise less liquid assets like private equity, commodities, corporate debt, and real estate.
According to a Coinbase report, the RWA segment witnessed a staggering annual growth rate reaching up to $21 billion by April 2025. Meanwhile, CoinGecko data reveals a remarkable surge in the sector of tokenized treasury securities—up by 544.8%, amounting to $5.6 billion.

Stablecoins as Catalysts

The market capitalization of stablecoins surpassed $300 billion at the beginning of October 2025—a nearly 47% increase since the start of that year. Kendrick highlights this factor as pivotal for sustainable development within decentralized finance. Liquidity within DeFi breeds new products which further generate liquidity; thus initiating a self-sustaining cycle according to him.

Regulatory Challenges

Despite optimistic projections, Standard Chartered warns about regulatory uncertainty posing significant threats to RWAs’ progressions. The bank cautions that advancements might stall if comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation isn’t enacted before midterm elections in 2026 under President Trump’s administration.

Tether Gold’s Milestone

Amid rising interest towards RWAs comes noteworthy performance from Tether Gold (XAUT), achieving record-breaking dynamics with its capitalization exceeding $2.1 billion by late Q3 2025—making it one leading asset backed by gold amidst historical price highs due largely due inflation pressures coupled alongside geopolitical risks plus central banks along with major investors’ demand surges.“Tether Gold proves real-world assets can exist efficiently on-chain without compromise,” noted Paolo Ardoino CEO at Tether during this pivotal month for investments into blockchains models increasingly adopted across diverse sectors including fintech companies alongside state-run entities seeking enhanced management efficiencies.
