BTC Markets Pursues RWA Trading License Amid Global Asset Tokenization Trend

Australian Exchange Seeks Regulatory Approval for Tokenized Real World Assets

BTC Markets, an Australian crypto exchange, has told ASIC of its plan to get a trading license. This license will let the firm trade tokenized assets from the real world. CEO Lucas Dobbins said the plan gives public access to tokenized stocks, bonds, and other real world assets. Tokens will trade with cryptocurrencies in real time and settle almost instantly.

Real World Assets Tokenization Gains Institutional Support

Dobbins said $26 billion in tokenized assets already sits on-chain. This sum shows early use but not the market’s full size. Some estimates see tokenized markets growing to around $2 trillion by 2030, while others, such as Boston Consulting Group, expect up to $16 trillion. Big financial firms like BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan are already offering tokenized financial products. Their actions show large firms are moving into tokenization with confidence.

Crypto and Traditional Firms Expand Tokenized Asset Services

BTC Markets wants to join others that trade tokenized real world assets. Other firms include:

• Kraken, which launched tokenized stock trading on its xStocks platform in June 2025 and added a fast on-chain trade engine called xChange on Ethereum and Solana.
• Robinhood, which started a tokenized stock platform for European markets in 2025.
• Intercontinental Exchange, owner of NYSE, which is building a platform for tokenized securities such as stocks and ETFs.
• Nasdaq, which plans to mix tokenized stocks and exchange-traded products into its system.
• Coinbase, which is planning a Coinbase Tokenize platform to manage tokenized real world assets for large clients.

Australian Market Promise and Regulatory Needs

Research from Australia’s Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre says tokenized markets could add around AUD 24 billion each year. This sum is nearly one percent of Australia’s GDP. Dobbins said that without a proper licensed market, only about AUD 1 billion would join by 2030. Australia has strong rules, steady capital markets, and large pension systems; these facts help tokenization grow on the island continent.

RWA Tokenization Growth and Market Data

Data from RWA.xyz shows tokenized real world assets now total $26.5 billion on-chain. Ethereum holds about 57.4% of this value, even when other platforms like layer-2 are not included. Even with tough times for some crypto assets, token values in this sector have stayed strong.

Conclusion: Asset Tokenization Changes Markets

BTC Markets’ pursuit of a license to trade tokenized real world assets shows how asset tokenization grows while joining finance with digital trade. Clear regulations and licensed markets allow fast, nearly instant trading of traditional financial assets in a digital setting. Both traditional firms and crypto exchanges work to add tokenized stocks, bonds, funds, commodities, and more.
