An executive from a certain exchange: The total market value of RWA will grow to several trillions of dollars in the next decade.

According to Odaily, Jesse Knutson, an operations executive at a certain exchange, stated that driven by emerging market economies, the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market will continue to grow in 2026. He noted that tokenizing real-world assets—representing physical or traditional assets on blockchain networks—can address this issue by enabling on-chain capital formation and bypassing traditional financial intermediaries. Knutson predicts that within the next decade, the total market capitalization of tokenized RWAs will grow to several trillions of dollars, but this growth depends on major issuers moving from pilot projects and sandboxes to actual commercial products.
