  Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest has predicted that crypto could grow to a $28 trillion market by 2030, driven primarily by Bitcoin (BTC), decentralized finance applications, and tokenized real-world assets. A $28 Trillion Bull Opportunity ARK projected in its “Big Ideas 2026” research report on Wednesday that the crypto market would balloon at a 61% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to reach the $28 trillion target within the next four years, adding that Bitcoin could command 70% of that figure at roughly $16 trillion.

The asset management firm noted that growth could also stem from the increasing adoption of decentralized finance, stablecoins, and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), with top smart contract chains like Ethereum and Solana expected to be the primary beneficiaries.

Per RWA.xyz data, the real-world tokenized asset or RWA market today stands at roughly $19–$22 billion, suggesting that Ark’s prediction would require a roughly 50,000%–58,000% increase by 2030.
