Distributed Tokenized Real World Assets Market to Reach $400 Billion by 2030: Keyrock and Securitize Report

Growth Outlook for Real World Assets and RWA Tokenization

Keyrock, a market maker, and Securitize, a tokenization platform, released a joint report on April 9. The report shows that the on-chain market for tokenized real assets may grow from about $29 billion today to $400 billion by 2030. The report links this growth with more interest from big financial firms and newer tech that turns old assets into digital tokens. It names treasuries, equities, commodities, private credit, and alternative funds as examples of assets that can join the digital world.

Today, tokenized real assets are below 0.1% of the $400 trillion global market open to tokenization. If one adds digital records that track traditional assets, the market might near $5 trillion by 2030. ## Tokenization Across Asset Classes: Treasuries, Equities, and Commodities

The report covers five main asset types: treasuries, private credit, equities, commodities, and alternative funds. It uses a method that checks for clear rules, ease of trade, how often prices update, speed of cash return, clear rules from governments, and demand on blockchain.

• Treasuries are close to full readiness. They gain from clear rules and high trade ease.
• Equities promise a high amount over the long run but need more work on rules and systems.
• Commodities such as gold, silver, oil, and copper grow fast as their price exposure arises from tokenized contracts.

Surge in RWA Perpetual Futures and DeFi Integration

Contracts for continuous trading tied to real assets, especially in commodities, grow quickly on chain. In six months, the monthly deal size of such contracts increased 40 times. Their share rose from 0.1% to 10.1% of all on-chain derivative deals since October 2025. The report sees that these contracts may form half of all on-chain derivative deals by 2028. The rise comes from Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 update in October 2025. This update lets the market create these contracts without permissions. The monthly trade value of equity contracts grew from $760 million in October 2025 to $20 billion by early 2026. Contracts on commodities reached $40 billion in March 2026. The report calls these contracts a natural crypto evolution. They give a way to gain price exposure to real assets without owning them or handling extra legal checks.

Tokenized Treasuries vs DeFi Yields

As yields from decentralized finance drop, tokenized Treasury bills stand out as a safe source of income. Data shows that tokenized T-bills have given higher returns than rates on DeFi stablecoin lending on 64% of days since mid-2024. In the first quarter of 2026, this happened on 98% of days. Yields from tokenized treasuries are also steadier. Their price swings are 3.6 times lower than those in DeFi lending, which links them to government debt.

Regulatory and Infrastructure Milestones Ahead

Keyrock and Securitize point to 2027 as a year when rules, market trade ease, system building, and asset spread come together for some real assets. This mix may boost adoption in asset tokenization and strengthen links between decentralized finance and traditional finance.

The report notes pressure from big firms that see tokenization as a major change in finance. It cites the IMF, which sees tokenization as a force that can change how we handle assets. Real assets are now seen as a new link that brings traditional finance into crypto worlds.

Summary

• Markets for tokenized real assets could rise from $29 billion today to $400 billion by 2030.
• Main asset types include treasuries, equities, commodities, private credit, and alternative funds; treasuries lead for now.
• Contracts for continuous trading on real assets grew 40 times in six months through open-chain platforms.
• Tokenized treasuries give safe, steadier returns than those of DeFi lending.
• In 2027, clearer rules and better systems may speed up the spread of asset tokenization.
• Big firms and market shifts see tokenization as a change that links decentralized finance with old financial methods.

This report shows how turning traditional financial items into digital tokens can improve trade and attract new money to the crypto space.
