Tokenized Securities are financial instruments placed on a blockchain ledger for greater accessibility as part of the broader Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization sector – seen as the next significant opportunity in the blockchain industry.
Some of the world's largest financial institutions and business consulting firms say that the RWA sector will grow more than 50 times by 2030 and reach more than $30 trillion.

“Future professionals need to be equipped with the skills and knowledge to lead this blockchain-enabled economy.
DWF Labs aims to continue the education between traditional and cryptocurrency organizations in collaboration with research and educational institutions, Grachev added.

If the sector were to achieve the average forecast of about $ 10 trillion, including the stable coin market, it represents a growth of 54 times the value of around $ 185 billion.
The RWA sector could begin to encompass more of the world's financial markets as the industry grows, shaping how people invest, trade in financial markets and own assets, according to a Trane Financial research report:
“The merging of traditional finance with blockchain technology is not just a trend, but a fundamental shift towards a more accessible, efficient and flexible financial ecosystem.”

Still, stablecoins continue to dominate the RWA sector, with a market share of more than $170 billion by October 2024. By comparison, securities and treasuries onchain are valued at $2.2 billion.
