According to ChainCatcher, citing CoinDesk, Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, stated that tokenized equities could drive the RWA market from its current size of approximately $300 billion to $5 trillion. He noted that the global equity and ETF market is valued at around $150 trillion; even if only 2% to 3% were tokenized, it would approach $5 trillion. Domingo believes that tokenized equities, rather than private credit or government bond products, will be the key driver of this growth. He distinguished “true” tokenized equities from many offshore blockchain-based stock products that rely on derivatives or synthetic structures instead of direct ownership of underlying shares. He emphasized that the long-term goal should be to enable blockchain-based securities to offer investors the same rights as traditional stocks, while benefiting from instant settlement, 24/7 transferability, and deep integration with DeFi. Domingo maintains that public blockchains, particularly Ethereum, remain the preferred infrastructure for institutional tokenization.
