These include Treasury bills, stocks, funds, and other financial products.<\/p>\n<p>Citi\u2019s estimate adds to a growing set of Wall Street forecasts around tokenization. Banks and asset managers now view blockchain rails as a way to improve settlement, trading hours, and asset access.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Treasuries and stocks lead the estimate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Citi expects 10% of the U.S. Treasury bill market to become tokenized by 2030. The bank also expects 3% of the U.S. public stock market to move into tokenized form.<\/p>\n<p>The Treasury bill forecast matters because stablecoins already hold large reserves in short-term U.S. debt. Citi said stablecoin growth may create about $1 trillion in new demand for U.S. Treasuries.<\/p>\n<p>The stock market estimate also carries a large number. Citi said a 10% shift by everyday U.S. investors to digital trading platforms may create $2.6 trillion in demand for digital stocks.<\/p>\n<p>These forecasts show how tokenization may move beyond crypto-native assets. The focus is now shifting toward traditional markets that already hold large pools of capital.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stablecoins support on-chain settlement<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Stablecoins remain central to the tokenization story. They provide a digital cash layer that can settle trades faster than many legacy systems.<\/p>\n<p>Citi has also linked tokenized deposits and stablecoins to always-on finance. \u201cTokenization is reshaping financial services,\u201d Ryan Rugg, Citi\u2019s global head of digital assets for Treasury and Trade Solutions, said in an earlier Citi discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Stablecoins can support settlement for tokenized securities, funds, and Treasury products. This gives investors a way to move between cash and on-chain assets without waiting for traditional market hours.<\/p>\n<p>The model still needs strong compliance, custody, and market structure. Tokenized securities must connect with legal ownership records, not only mirror the price of traditional assets.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>RWA market growth adds wider context<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As previously reported by crypto.news, tokenized real-world assets have grown sharply in 2026. Recent market estimates placed the sector near $31 billion to $34 billion, excluding stablecoins.<\/p>\n<p>The same reporting thread noted that tokenized Treasuries remain one of the largest RWA categories. Ethereum still hosts a large share of the market, led by products from major asset managers and tokenization firms.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Standard Chartered forecast that tokenized assets could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028. That projection split the amount between stablecoins and real-world assets.<\/p>\n<p>Citi\u2019s latest estimate points to a longer 2030 target. It places tokenized securities at the center of Wall Street\u2019s digital asset plans, with Treasury bills, public stocks, and stablecoin settlement as the main drivers.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citi said the tokenized securities market could grow to $5.5 trillion by 2030 as Wall Street moves more assets onto blockchain rails.
