Asset tokenization refers to the process of converting real-world assets into digital tokens using blockchain technology. These tokens represent ownership or rights to the underlying asset and can be securely traded or transferred. This approach enhances liquidity, transparency, and the efficiency of asset management and exchanges.
The main components in the asset tokenization market include solutions and services. Asset tokenization solutions involve technologies that convert physical or digital assets into blockchain-based tokens, enabling secure, transparent, and efficient ownership transfers. These solutions are deployed through both cloud and on-premise modes. Key tokenization techniques include API-based and gateway-based methods. These solutions are applied in various sectors, such as payment security, user authentication, and compliance management, serving industries including banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), healthcare, information technology (IT) and IT-enabled services (ITES), government, retail and e-commerce, energy and utilities, among others.

The asset tokenization market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $865.54 billion in 2024 to $1,244.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.7%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the adoption of blockchain technology for secure transactions, the need for liquidity in traditionally illiquid assets, favorable regulations in early adopter countries, the emergence of decentralized finance platforms, and growing interest from institutional investors.
The asset tokenization market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5,254.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.4%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing institutional adoption of tokenized assets, rising demand for fractional ownership of high-value assets, advancements in smart contract functionality, the introduction of regulated tokenization infrastructure, and the integration of tokenized assets within Web3 ecosystems. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the expansion of real-world asset tokenization platforms, enhanced interoperability across tokenized asset networks, the broadening of tokenized financial instruments beyond the real estate sector, the convergence of artificial intelligence with tokenization for improved risk assessment, and the emergence of tokenized assets that comply with green and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
The growing adoption of cloud-based payments is anticipated to drive the expansion of the asset tokenization market. Cloud-based payments utilize cloud computing technologies to process, manage, and store payment transactions over the internet. The rising need for scalability and flexibility in payment systems is fueling the shift toward cloud-based solutions. Cloud platforms enhance the speed and security of digital transactions, supporting efficient management of tokenized assets. This adaptability boosts accessibility and fosters trust in tokenized financial ecosystems. For example, in February 2023, PAYMENTS PUBLISHING LIMITED, a UK-based private limited company, reported a substantial increase in cloud adoption in financial services from 37% in 2020 to 91% in 2023. Additionally, the number of firms not considering cloud solutions declined from 50% to 5%, with the highest adoption seen in North America (98%), followed by Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) at 93%, and Asia-Pacific at 77%. Hence, the rise in cloud-based payments is contributing significantly to the growth of the asset tokenization market.
Leading companies in the asset tokenization space are prioritizing the development of innovative blockchain-based platforms to securely digitize physical assets, streamline financial transactions, and enhance transparency and trust. These platforms facilitate the creation, management, and trading of tokenized assets, enabling faster settlements, cost reductions, and greater accessibility for both institutional and retail investors. For instance, in October 2024, Visa, a US-based credit card services company, introduced the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP), a blockchain-based system that supports banks in issuing fiat-backed tokens. VTAP allows financial institutions to create digital versions of assets such as stablecoins, bank deposits, and fiat currencies. Built for interoperability with both public and permissioned blockchains, the platform ensures secure, programmable, and scalable tokenization for institutional applications.
