Range dey from US$2.7 trillion (low) to US$8.2 trillion (high), mainly driven by institutional adoption of on-chain infrastructure. Citi expect say demand for tokenized securities go concentrate for tokenized U.S. Treasury bills and public stocks. By 2030, dem project say about 10% of U.S. Treasury bill market and about 3% of U.S. public equities go move to tokenized form. One important catalyst na stablecoins. Citi connect stablecoin growth to new Treasury demand, estimate say roughly US$1 trillion extra U.S. Treasuries go dey needed as stablecoins expand their reserve and settlement role. Dem also talk say stablecoins make faster, always-on cash-to-digital settlement possible for tokenized securities beyond normal market hours, but dem stress say tokenized securities still need compliance, custody, and legal alignment of ownership records. For crypto traders, wetin dem fit do from this na understand say the tokenized securities market story dey increasingly tied to regulated on-chain finance and stablecoin-linked liquidity — this one support longer-term sentiment for RWA rails instead of quick moves in crypto-native assets.
