In the previous year, Stellar has not only made noticeable efforts to embrace tokenization, the network has also remained committed to championing the benefits and use cases of the technology. As recently reported, tokenization on the Stellar network reached new levels in 2023, as a result, Stellar is now being recognized as a leader in the industry.

Market experts predicts a promising future for tokenization

Tokenization is the process of issuing a digital representation of an asset on a blockchain. Industry experts have collectively made bullish predictions for the industry on different occasions. The forecasted trade volume for tokenized digital securities is expected to reach $5 trillion in 2030.

Stellar prides itself as a network designed, at its core, for asset tokenization, long before the technology gained popularity. As a result, Stellar offers flexibility for tokenization, by offering features that make it easy for issuers to build on, and move their assets to the broader market.

The Clawback functionality and other compliance features are some of the many that regulated entities will be able to access and leverage.

According to a report from 22.co, a digital asset management firm, tokenized assets could grow to $10 trillion within the next 10 years, if adoption from traditional financial (TradFi) institutions persists.

“We estimate that the market value for tokenized assets will be between $3.5 trillion in the bear-case scenario and $10 trillion in the bull case by 2030.” The report added, further stating that the convergence between crypto and traditional assets like fiat currencies and other similar assets, is poised to grow significantly.

With the continuous growth in the tokenization economy, Steller’s native token XLM, could benefit greatly from the new development in the long term. With Stellar’s tokenized assets skyrocketing in value, increased adoption could serve as a bullish catalyst for XLM to gain momentum in the crypto market. The asset trades at a press time price of $0.1109, down by more than 88% from its 2018 all-time high.
