Citi's recent report predicts that the tokenized securities market will expand from its current valuation of $17 billion to $5.5 trillion by 2030, with estimates ranging from $2.7 trillion to $8.2 trillion based on the pace of adoption. This growth is attributed to the integration of tokenization into established financial systems by major players like the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), Nasdaq, and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). The rise of stablecoins, expected to reach a market size of $1.9 trillion by 2030, will facilitate instantaneous settlement of trades, creating a demand for approximately $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury bills. Additionally, the advancement of the Clarity Act in the U.S. Senate aims to clarify regulations surrounding digital assets, further supporting market expansion. Citi estimates that 10% of U.S. Treasury bills and 3% of public stocks will be tokenized by 2030, indicating a significant shift in how investments are managed and traded.
