Tokenized bond market may 30x by 2030 — fintech exec

By Vince Quill

According to data from RWA.xyz, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) currently have a market capitalization of over $16.6 billion.

The tokenized bond market may surge to at least $300 billion by 2030, representing a 30x gain from current levels. Lamine Brahimi, co-founder of Taurus SA — an enterprise-grade digital asset company — told Cointelegraph these were base case figures.

Brahimi cited research from McKinsey, which said the $300-billion estimate was a base case that included government, municipal and corporate bonds.

According to the executive, tokenizing bonds allows for near-instant settlement times, reduces transaction costs, and can democratize the investment process through fractional ownership.

Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), which include bonds, stocks, stablecoins and other real-world items, are projected to reach a $10-trillion market cap by 2030 as the world moves onchain.

Why You Should Be Optimistic in 2025

"You're starting at a good time," my new boss told me...

"Everyone thought the world was ending last year," he continued. "But it didn't. And now, there are opportunities everywhere."

At the time, I could hardly explain the difference between a stock and a bond. So I dumbly nodded my head, trying to soak up as much knowledge as I could.

It was the summer of 2010, a little more than a year after the stock market hit bottom. I had just come on board at Stansberry Research. And while I hardly realized it, it was an incredible time for investors.

The worst of the crisis was over. The economy had stabilized... sentiment was slowly improving... and stock prices were rising. It was the perfect formula.

And if you'd bought back then and

“Bond Market Rout” in the UK (like in the US) Only Pushes the 10-Year Yield into Low End of Old Normal after Many Years of Interest Rate Repression

By Wolf Richter for WOLF STREET.

The 10-year yield of UK government securities rose to 4.82% today, the highest since July 2008. The 30-year gilt yield rose at one point today to 5.47%, the highest since 1998, though it backed down to 5.38%. So the UK is a little ahead of US Treasury yields (4.69% and 4.93% respectively).

There was a lot of handwringing in the financial media today and recently about those surging yields, with terms like “gilt market rout” getting into the headlines, and some even seeing a “return of the bond vigilantes,” etc. etc. But wait a minute…

Back on July 29, 2020, the 10-year gilt yield had dropped to an all-time low of 0.09%, back when everyone holding gilts was clamoring for yields to go negative because these holders would benefit from falling yields because bond prices rise when yields fall, and that path into the negative would be the necessary and logical continuation of the 40-year bond bull market and make it an eternal bond bull market, with yields falling ever deeper into the negative, or whatever.
