Standard Chartered has projected that the market for tokenized real-world assets (RWA), excluding stablecoins, will reach $2 trillion by 2028. This forecast underscores Ethereum's leading role in the sector due to its robust blockchain infrastructure. The report also emphasizes that stablecoins have set the stage for the expansion of RWAs, while decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms are increasingly challenging traditional financial institutions in areas such as lending and RWA management.
