Tokenized real-world assets cross $1 trillion on-chain

The reading
Stablecoins (~$300B, with a US federal framework since the GENIUS Act of July 2025) already proved that tokenized dollars work at scale; tokenized Treasuries went from zero to ~$8B in two years behind BlackRock's BUIDL. $1T needs only ~0.2% of global securities to migrate — the consultancy range (McKinsey ~$2T, BCG up to $16T by 2030) brackets this comfortably.
What would prove this wrong
This projection is WRONG if total tokenized RWA value (ex-stablecoins) remains below $300B by end-2030, or a major tokenized-fund failure freezes institutional issuance for multiple years.
Trigger events tracked
- A major sovereign or corporate bond issuance settling natively on-chain
- Tokenized money-market funds accepted as collateral by major clearinghouses
- US market-structure legislation clarifying digital securities (CLARITY Act lineage)
- A second wave of asset managers following the BUIDL template into private credit and equities
