A joint study conducted by Ripple and BCG predicts that the market size of tokenized assets could reach $18.9 trillion over the next eight years as key institutions gather in blockchain technology.
A recent report titled “Tokenization Tipping Point” published by Ripple (XRP) and Boston Consulting Group shows that tokenization of actual assets could reach new heights.
This forecast shows that the sector has an estimated annual growth rate of 53%, with stubcoin and real estate contributing to the majority of growth. In 2025, the market size for tokenized assets was $600 billion. This number could potentially surge to $18.9 trillion.
The report attributed a variety of factors to the rapid growth of the sector, including the evolution of blockchain technology to accommodate large businesses, more regulatory clarity on tokenized assets, and the appetite of young investors showing increased demand for digital assets.
Laurent Marochini, CEO of Standard Chartered’s Luxembourg Entity, commented on growth tokenization, particularly among banks and financial institutions. He sees it as an opportunity to integrate it into different markets.
“Tokenization is progressing at different rates across asset classes, providing real efficiency and conditions are the fastest where secondary markets emerge,” Malocini said.

The $18.9 trillion market size does not count as tokenized assets, so cryptocurrencies and central bank digital currencies do not necessarily require blockchain technology, so cryptocurrencies do not include cryptocurrencies. The Chinese and Russian markets are also excluded due to limited access to market data.
Real estate is one of the biggest assets in tokenization, worth more than $300 trillion. Meanwhile, aptitude bonds hold a volume of around $140 trillion, while global trade finance is over $10 trillion.
Previously, a report from McKinsey predicted that the tokenized market could reach a market capitalization of $2 trillion by 2030. This is mainly because it includes new players like Coinbase Asset Management, Glasstower, and Ripple who will be participating in the space in 2025.
