Experts are debating the potential of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) to reach a staggering $30 trillion in value by 2034, according to Cointelegraph. In June 2024, Standard Chartered Bank and Synpulse predicted this ambitious target. This prediction has resonated with many analysts throughout the year. However, skepticism surrounding these projections remains high. Cointelegraph’s recent panel discussion at Paris Blockchain Week 2025 brought together leading voices from the tokenization ecosystem, including Charles Adkins of Hedera, Dotun Rominiyi from the London Stock Exchange, Shy Datika of INX, Steven Gaertner of Tiamonds, and Securitize chief operating officer Michael Sonnenshein. While most panelists enthusiastically supported the $30 trillion target, Sonnenshein expressed doubts about its accuracy. He argued that existing systems effectively manage traditional assets and tokenization may not achieve this valuation, despite offering potential benefits.
