PANews reported on June 10th that, according to CoinDesk, Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo stated that tokenized stocks could drive the RWA market from its current value of approximately $30 billion to $5 trillion. He pointed out that the global stock and ETF market is worth approximately $150 trillion, and even if only 2% to 3% of it is on-chain, it could approach $5 trillion.

Domingo believes that tokenized stocks, rather than private credit or government bonds, will be a key driver of this growth. He distinguishes “true” tokenized stocks from many offshore blockchain equity products that rely on derivatives or synthetic structures rather than directly holding underlying shares. He argues that the long-term goal should be to enable blockchain-based securities to offer the same investor rights as traditional stocks, while enjoying instant settlement, 24/7 transferability, and deep integration with DeFi. Domingo maintains that public blockchains, particularly Ethereum, remain the preferred infrastructure for institutional tokenization.
