Growing Demand for Tokenized Assets
According to a report by the DeFiLlama analytics platform, the volume of tokenized real-world assets surged 66% in 2026, reaching $23.6 billion. This rapid growth was driven by increased investor demand for financial instruments backed by real assets that trade on decentralized blockchain platforms 24/7.
The main growth drivers were tokenized funds, gold, and shares of traditional companies. Investors seeking to diversify their portfolios and gain access to always-on markets have been actively increasing their investments in such instruments.
Prospects for the Tokenized Assets Market
Experts believe that the trend towards the tokenization of real assets will continue in the coming years. Blockchain technologies allow the fractional ownership of assets, increasing their liquidity and accessibility to a wider range of investors. Furthermore, tokenization opens up opportunities for more efficient management of such assets and their use as collateral for obtaining loans.
According to analysts, the growth of the tokenized assets market will continue as the decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure develops and the number of institutional players investing in blockchain solutions increases.
