The post RWA Sector Poised for $600B Growth by 2030: Report appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The growing tokenized funds sector could see its value reach $600 billion in the next six years, according to a whitepaper jointly released by Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Aptos Labs, and Invesco. Currently, the tokenized assets market, representing tangible resources such as real estate, art, and traditional securities on a blockchain, boasts more than $2 billion in assets under management (AUM), with future growth expected to accelerate as on-chain finance matures. Unpacking the Tokenization Boom According to the BCG report, the shift towards tokenization could offer increased programmability and transparency.

Alternatively, they could convert existing fund structures, including mutual funds and ETFs, into tokenized models. Regulatory Advances to Fuel Growth If supported by clear regulatory lines, BCG believes such strategies could catapult the market into the trillions, although the $600 billion figure remains the conservative estimation. Jurisdictions like Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and several Middle Eastern countries are laying the groundwork for this anticipated boom. For example, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) is running initiatives like the e-HKD+ and Project Ensemble to create favorable environments and frameworks for tokenized assets and…
