0/ Exploring how tokenization on Ethereum can reach its full potential.
A guest thread by @carlosdomingo of @Securitize.
2025 will likely be remembered as the year of tokenization.
Today, we’re looking at why that is and how we can accelerate that future.

2025 will likely be remembered as the year of tokenization.
Today, we’re looking at why that is and how we can accelerate that future.
1/ Securitize has been working for nearly eight years to bring tokenized products to market, with the last year proving that tokenization is no longer a theory.
2/ Today, it’s a $26.5B market.
And Ethereum leads:
- $7.5B in tokenized RWAs
- $5.3B in tokenized Treasuries
- 72% market share in onchain Treasuries
It's where institutions are deploying capital.

3/ RWAs represent the potential for a $20T+ market, but only a small fraction of that is onchain.
Ethereum is the leading blockchain for RWAs by marketcap, but we’re early.
Even 1% market share unlocks a $200B+ opportunity.
You do the math.

4/ For tokenization to truly reach its potential, it needs to make sense for the investor.
-> Utility is what makes sense to Wall Street.
Asset managers are looking for ways to make their funds more efficient, to solve real pain points their TradFi predecessors never could.

5/ When institutions come to us and see that they can be paid out dividends daily, instead of waiting for their brokerage account to deliver those once every quarter, they immediately see the opportunity.
6/ That's the lightbulb moment: tokenization lets them deliver more value to their customers.
7/ Trillions will be tokenized on Ethereum because it's instant, programmable and always on.
The biggest names in finance agree:
- BlackRock BUIDL $2.4B+
- Apollo ACRED $110M+
- VanEck VBILL $75M+
- Hamilton Lane SCOPE $9.6M+

8/ At Securitize, we’ve tokenized $3.36B+ in assets onchain to become the world’s largest tokenization platform.
9/ We mint assets natively onchain and 68% of that, over $2.3B, is on Ethereum.
Why? Many issuers share with us that Ethereum offers some of the most secure, composable, and censorship-resistant foundations for tokenized financial products.

10/ Dig even deeper into the metrics from @RWA_xyz: Securitize has minted over $537M on @zksync, @Mantle_Official, @0xPolygon, @arbitrum & @Optimism.
When accounting for those, roughly 85% of Securitize’s assets are tokenized on Ethereum mainnet or Ethereum L2s.

11/ Securitize also has five RWAs over $100M, the most of any other tokenization provider.
That includes Apollo’s ACRED, a $110M+ tokenized private credit fund.

12/ And major asset managers continue to bring flagship products onchain, including:
- Hamilton Lane SCOPE: tokenized private credit
- VanEck VBILL: tokenized U.S. Treasuries

13/ Institutions are building here.
Why? For what comes next: utility, liquidity, and composability in DeFi.

14/ From treasuries to credit, and now equities.
Tokenized equities are the next step in bringing real-world financial markets onchain.
With ~$100T in global equity value, the long-term opportunity to anchor these assets on Ethereum is hard to overstate.

15/ We’re still in the earliest innings.
2025 is the year RWAs found real utility onchain.
The infrastructure is here and the opportunity is $20T+.
