- Market value nearly tripled in 2025, led by tokenized U.S. Treasuries and commodities.
- Global stablecoin supply surpassed $300 billion in 2025 and is increasingly used for settlement, liquidity, and cross-border transfers.

ARK Invest projects that tokenized assets could grow from roughly $19 billion in 2025 to more than $11 trillion by 2030, citing stablecoins, tokenized securities, and institutional adoption in its Big Ideas 2026 report. The firm says the market nearly tripled in 2025 as tokenized U.S. Treasuries and commodities led growth.
Tokenization is expanding beyond pilot programs into production use cases across payments, capital markets, and asset management, the report states. Firms are using blockchain-based infrastructure to speed settlement and improve liquidity in existing markets.
Stablecoins were a central driver in 2025, with global supply topping $300 billion and transaction volumes reaching record highs. The report notes stablecoins increasingly function as settlement layers and liquidity tools rather than solely crypto-native instruments. As Cathie Wood said in an ARK Invest video, “in terms of remittances and emerging market activity, [we’re] seeing stablecoins usurp the role we thought Bitcoin would provide.”
Ethereum remains the dominant blockchain for tokenized assets, with more than $400 billion represented on-chain and stablecoins plus large-cap tokens making up roughly 90% of on-chain value. The report highlights Ethereum’s role as the primary settlement layer, a position noted positively by industry leaders including Larry Fink of BlackRock.
Policy and industry discussions at the World Economic Forum reflect the shift from experimentation to deployment. Speakers such as Bill Winters, Brian Armstrong, Brad Garlinghouse, Valérie Urbain, and François Villeroy de Galhau debated tokenization’s practical use cases during a WEF panel, noting bank engagement where client demand meets regulated infrastructure.
