Rebank Analysts Explained the Advantages of Tokenizing Financial Assets
Traditionally, assets are stored in fragmented databases and can only be transferred through intermediaries, whereas tokenized assets can be transferred and exchanged instantly without the need for third parties, Rebank experts explained. They compared tokenization to the shift from paper letters to email: both systems deliver messages, but emails are delivered automatically, in real time, and with almost no intermediaries.
Rebank acknowledged that the RWA market is still relatively small today, but its growth rate is rapidly accelerating. As of 2025, billions of dollars’ worth of tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds are under management, while the overall U.S. Treasury bond market has reached $20 trillion. The total value of stablecoins stands at about $280 billion, compared to more than $18 trillion in U.S. bank deposits.
Rebank analysts drew an analogy with exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which were once considered niche products. By the early 2000s, ETF growth accelerated, and these instruments became popular among major investors. In recent years, the U.S. has seen the emergence of ETFs tied to major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether.
According to Token Terminal, the global tokenized assets market under management (AUM) has reached a record high of $270 billion. The main driver of this growth has been investment funds leveraging blockchain to increase access to financial instruments.
