Tokenized Real-World Assets Poised for Mainstream Adoption in 2025

Tokenization is transitioning from theoretical discussions to institutional reality, with public chains now hosting over $25 billion in real-world assets. BlackRock and Franklin Templeton are among the giants deploying billions on-chain, validating the scalability of RWAs for traditional finance.

Regulatory frameworks in Europe, Hong Kong, and the U.S. are providing the clarity needed for large-scale adoption. The convergence of payments and RWAs is creating a new paradigm—'PayFi'—where programmable finance integrates stablecoins, invoices, and tokenized Treasuries.

While Asia and Europe lead in establishing global standards through initiatives like mBridge and Project Agorá, critics note current liquidity remains siloed. Yet the irreversible trend is clear: institutional capital is migrating to blockchain infrastructure under compliant frameworks.
