Tokenized Equities Poised for Explosive Growth
Binance Research has released a report detailing the potential growth of tokenized equities. According to the report, tokenized stocks are currently a small fraction of the listed equity market, representing just 0.0029% of $151.9 trillion.
However, the report projects that this could change rapidly, with three possible scenarios for tokenized equities by 2030. The conservative case puts the figure at $61 billion, while the base case is a more ambitious $349 billion. The bull case takes it even further, to $987 billion.
The report notes that tokenized equities have grown significantly this year, with a 390.4% increase in on-chain balance. This growth has been driven by increased adoption of tokenized stocks in DeFi protocols, with the Capital Activation Rate (CAR) rising from 1.95% to 7.54% year-to-date.
The report also highlights the potential for emerging products aimed at users in global markets to push tokenized equity balances beyond their current level of $4.43 billion.
