ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, the latest report from Standard Chartered Bank shows that the tokenized real-world assets (RWA) market is expected to experience explosive growth over the next three years, increasing from the current approximately $35 billion to $2 trillion, a 57-fold increase. The report points out that this $2 trillion will be distributed among money market funds ($750 billion), tokenized US stocks ($750 billion), tokenized US funds ($250 billion), and less liquid areas such as private equity ($250 billion). Geoff Kendrick, Global Head of Digital Assets Research at Standard Chartered Bank, stated that stablecoin liquidity and DeFi banking services are important prerequisites for the rapid expansion of RWA. Currently, the total supply of stablecoins has exceeded $300 billion, a year-on-year increase of 46.8%, which is driving the DeFi ecosystem into a "self-sustaining growth cycle." However, the report also warns that regulatory uncertainty remains the biggest threat facing the RWA industry. If the Trump administration fails to introduce comprehensive cryptocurrency legislation before the 2026 midterm elections, industry progress may stagnate.
