Real-world asset protocols are transforming illiquid assets into investment opportunities, with the tokenized asset market projected to reach $24 billion by 2025, marking a 308% increase over three years. Major financial entities like BlackRock and Apollo are leveraging blockchain technology to facilitate access to real estate, private credit, and commodities. Apollo's $100 million tokenized credit fund and Matrixdock's gold-backed tokens exemplify this growing trend. The market, benefiting from instant settlement and reduced costs, could expand to between $500 billion and $3 trillion by 2030.
