Tokenized Real-World Assets Set to Reach $60 Billion by 2026, RedStone Report Finds
The market for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) is accelerating rapidly, with a new report by blockchain oracle platform RedStone projecting the sector to reach $60 billion in 2026. The findings highlight a major shift in global finance as institutional investors expand their presence in blockchain-based asset markets.
Institutional Interest Driving Tokenized Asset Growth
According to RedStone, the tokenized asset market has shown significant momentum since late 2023. Large financial institutions have begun pushing capital into on-chain private credit, Treasuries, and equities, signaling a long-term shift toward blockchain-powered finance.
This institutional participation is helping the market scale at a much faster rate than earlier projections suggested.
Private Credit to Capture 45–50% of the Market by 2026
The report highlights that private credit is currently the largest segment within the tokenized real-world asset sector. RedStone predicts private credit will represent 45% to 50% of the entire RWA market by 2026.
The attraction of private credit tokenization includes:
Higher returns
On-chain transparency
Global access
Faster settlement
Tokenized Equities Expected to Grow 200–300%
One of the most notable insights from RedStone’s report is the explosive forecast for tokenized equities, which are expected to expand 200% to 300% once the U.S. provides regulatory clarity in mid-2026.
This category is projected to become the fastest-growing tokenized asset class due to:
Rising institutional confidence
Compliance clarity
Improved market structure
Demand for fractional on-chain ownership
Tokenized Treasuries Showing Strong Momentum
Tokenized U.S. Treasuries — including BlackRock’s well-known BUIDL tokenized fund — have become one of the most rapidly adopted RWA categories.
RedStone’s analysis indicates strong continued growth due to:
Institutional demand for safe yield
Increased blockchain adoption
Expansion of tokenized liquidity pools
