Brickken Report Reveals the RWA Tokenization Trends for 2025

The year 2025 has already witnessed accelerated growth in the development of Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization markets.

Leading projects such as MANTRA have expanded into new markets, while emerging startups like Fraction and Adda Labs—founded by a former JP Morgan executive—are making their mark.

Aiming to bring real-world assets on-chain, both established and emerging projects are shaping the Web3 landscape.

In line with this trend, a recent report by Brickken predicts that the market capitalization of tokenized assets could reach between $30 trillion and $50 trillion by 2030. It

Key Assets Gaining Traction in the RWA Market

Blockchain technology is the foundation of tokenization. Its decentralized, secure, and immutable ledger system enhances transparency and reduces fraud. 

While any asset can theoretically be tokenized, the report highlights five major categories currently gaining traction:

1. Debt – Tokenized bonds improve efficiency, accessibility, and liquidity.
2. Equity – Shares of companies can be tokenized to attract a broader investor base.
3. Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) – Loans and receivables are tokenized to enhance transparency and reduce costs.
4. Funds – Investment funds issue tokens to represent shares, reducing administrative costs.
5. Real Estate – Tokenization enhances liquidity, allowing fractional ownership and faster transactions.

As of December 2024, over $50 billion worth of tokenized assets exist across these categories, with continued growth expected in 2025.

Technology Driving Tokenization

Blockchain & Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) is providing an immutable record of transactions. Smart Contracts are enabling automated execution of transactions and compliance requirements. Oracles are bringing off-chain data onto the blockchain for real-time updates. Cross Chain Interoperability is allowing tokenized assets to move across multiple blockchains, increasing market liquidity.

Privacy-Preserving Technologies, the zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) ensure compliance with data protection laws.

The Key Trends of Tokenization for 2025 and Beyond

According to the report, the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is set to gain significant momentum in 2025 as institutions increasingly adopt blockchain-based financial products.

Major players like BlackRock, JPMorgan, and HSBC are expanding their tokenized offerings, particularly in bonds, private credit, and money market funds. 

Further, tokenization is expected to enhance liquidity, reduce costs, and improve market efficiency, making traditionally illiquid assets like real estate, private equity, and commodities more accessible to investors. The adoption of tokenized money market funds, such as BlackRock’s BUIDL and Franklin Templeton’s BENJI, is accelerating as investors seek blockchain-based yield-generating products.

Regulatory frameworks are also evolving, with clearer guidelines from financial authorities in the US, Europe, and Asia, which will drive institutional confidence in tokenized securities. The report argued that advances in cross chain interoperability, such as Chainlink’s CCIP, will enable seamless asset transfers across blockchains, improving liquidity. 

AI integration will further optimize tokenized asset management through predictive analytics and automated compliance. With these advancements, the market will transition from pilot projects to large-scale adoption, and tokenized assets are projected to exceed $30 trillion by 2030.

Future Growth Expected

Tokenization is revolutionizing financial markets by enhancing liquidity, efficiency, and accessibility. The report concludes that the next five years will be critical in determining how blockchain technology integrates into mainstream finance. Institutions that embrace tokenization early are predicted to gain a competitive edge in the evolving digital asset ecosystem.
