Citrini Research Predicts Major Boom in RWA Tokenization

RWA tokenization — Influential research firm Citrini Research has published a major report predicting a significant boom in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), arguing blockchains are poised to find a clear role in mainstream finance.

The 79-page report, titled ‘Breaking the Wall,’ represents a notable shift as Citrini is better known for its analysis of broader technology and AI trends rather than crypto advocacy. The firm’s argument underscores how far the institutional conversation around moving traditional financial assets like stocks and bonds onto blockchains has progressed.

While the report itself is not new, its conclusions highlight a growing consensus on the potential for tokenization. Citrini’s analysis suggests that the foundational technology is finally ready to support this transition at scale.

The central challenge for investors, according to the report, will be identifying which specific companies, blockchain networks, and protocols will successfully capture the revenue generated by this anticipated wave of asset tokenization.
