Tokenization is the process of issuing a digital representation of an asset on a blockchain. Industry experts have collectively made bullish predictions for the industry on different occasions. The forecasted trade volume for tokenized digital securities is expected to reach $5 trillion in 2030.
Stellar prides itself as a network designed, at its core, for asset tokenization, long before the technology gained popularity. As a result, Stellar offers flexibility for tokenization, by offering features that make it easy for issuers to build on, and move their assets to the broader market.
The Clawback functionality and other compliance features are some of the many that regulated entities will be able to access and leverage.
According to a report from 22.co, a digital asset management firm, tokenized assets could grow to $10 trillion within the next 10 years, if adoption from traditional financial (TradFi) institutions persists.
“We estimate that the market value for tokenized assets will be between $3.5 trillion in the bear-case scenario and $10 trillion in the bull case by 2030.” The report added, further stating that the convergence between crypto and traditional assets like fiat currencies and other similar assets, is poised to grow significantly.
With the continuous growth in the tokenization economy, Steller’s native token XLM, could benefit greatly from the new development in the long term.
