Potential Value

The asset tokenization market has grown exponentially with the development of the cryptocurrency asset financial market. Initially, the Bitcoin tokenization market was formed. In the past, Bitcoin holders wanted to securitize their Bitcoin, but in the Bitcoin network, there was only a “coin transfer” function, so it was difficult to use it in the cryptocurrency asset financial market. However, with the advent of the Bitcoin tokenization service, users can entrust their own Bitcoin to a specific system and issue wBTC (wrapped BTC) on the Ethereum network developed by DeFi to use it as collateral in the cryptocurrency asset financial market. The current wBTC circulation is about $5.2B (245,480 wBTC), accounting for 1.3% of the total BTC circulation.

The second established asset tokenization market is the fiat-based stablecoin market. As DeFi developed, there was a demand for financial activities such as deposits or loans with assets with stable values, and accordingly, a service to issue stablecoins that can be exchanged 1:1 with fiat currencies such as dollars or euros has developed. Typical examples include USDT, USDC, BUSD, and GUSD, all worth $134.6B.

And the next stage of the asset tokenization market will be the “real asset tokenization market”. The need for DeFi to use real assets emerged during the Terra crisis and rug pull. To satisfy this demand, attempts are already underway to tokenize real assets for use in the cryptocurrency asset financial market, creating a new financial market that did not exist before. Conceptually, since all real assets can be tokenized, the potential size of the real asset tokenization market will exceed the market size of existing cryptocurrency assets operated only in cryptocurrency assets or fiat currency. The size of the global bond market alone is $123,468.6B1), and when the real estate and art markets are combined, the size becomes astronomical.
