Tokenized United States Treasurys could reach $3 billion by the end of 2024, showcasing the benefits of financial asset tokenization and its widespread adoption.
Tokenized Treasurys would need to grow nearly twofold to reach the $3 billion mark by the end of this year.
Reaching the $3 billion mark is possible due to the growing trend of decentralized autonomous organizations increasingly diversifying their holding into tokenized US Treasurys, according to Tom Wan, a research strategist at 21.co.
Tokenized US Treasurys will grow to $3 billion thanks to the product offerings of global giants like Securitize and BlackRock. The strategist wrote in a July 15 X post:
“With the two projects allocating to tokenized US treasury, we could be seeing the total market cap of tokenized US treasury increasing to $3B+ by the end of 2024.”
Tokenized US government securities have amassed over $1.6 billion in total assets under management, according to Dune data.

BlackRock’s fund will add significant momentum for the inflows into tokenized Treasurys, according to Wan. He said:
“As the strategy laid out by Securitize and Blackrock, they intend to provide diversification for the crypto ecosystem to access risk-free US treasury yield without needing to leave the blockchain ecosystem.

Tokenization: The next $16 trillion opportunity?
Tokenization could be the next multitrillion-dollar market opportunity, according to the world’s largest management consulting firm.
The global value of tokenized illiquid assets will grow to an estimated $16 trillion by 2030, according to a report released by the Global Financial Markets Association (GFMA) and Boston Consulting Group.
In more conservative estimates, analysts at Citigroup predicted that another $4 trillion to $5 trillion worth of tokenized digital securities will be minted by the year 2030, according to a 2023 report.
