The market for tokenized real-world assets, including U.S. Treasuries and real estate, is expanding, with major financial institutions leading the growth. BlackRock's U.S. Treasury tokenized fund has grown sevenfold over the past year to $2.5 billion, paying $4.17 million in March dividends and now operating on seven blockchain networks. Six entities control 88% of the $5.4 billion tokenized treasury market, including benji ($707 million), ustb ($661 million), usdy ($586 million), usyc ($487 million), and ousg ($424 million). A recent Deloitte report projects the global tokenized real estate market will increase from less than $300 billion in 2024 to $4 trillion by 2035, with a 27% annual growth rate. The report notes significant expansion in tokenized private real estate funds, securitized loans, and development projects, enabled by blockchain technology for programmable and customizable ownership.
