Securitize CEO Says Tokenized Stocks and ETFs Could Drive Crypto Market to $5 Trillion
Real-world asset tokenization, or RWA, records ownership interests in traditional assets such as stocks and bonds on a blockchain. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said bringing stocks and ETFs onchain could broaden institutional participation. Given the vast size of global equity markets, shifting even a small portion onchain could reshape the crypto market.
As of July 20, 2026, Domingo told ETHConf that the RWA market stood at about $30 billion and could grow to $5 trillion if a small portion of global equity markets moved onchain. He also said Ethereum's infrastructure and ecosystem were best suited to support institutional-grade tokenized stocks and ETFs.

Real-world asset tokenization involves issuing and trading traditional securities, such as U.S. Treasuries and stocks, as blockchain-based tokens. Citi believes the growing adoption of stablecoins is bringing funds and settlement activity on-chain, further boosting demand for tokenized Treasuries and equities and prompting Wall Street to overhaul its core financial infrastructure.
Citi’s latest report forecasts that the global tokenized securities market will grow to $5.5 trillion by 2030. Traditional financial institutions are also accelerating deployment of the technology. Nasdaq has begun integrating tokenization capabilities into its core trading system, signaling that the market is gradually moving beyond proofs of concept toward practical use in established securities markets.
