Ondo Drives Tokenization Shift in Global Markets

• Bank forecasts for tokenized RWAs range $2T–$30T+, with JPM at $13T and StanChart above $30T by 2030.
• Ondo trades stayed within ~2 bps of underlying; 95% of trades were under 5 bps.
• Ondo uses blockchain for access and mint/redeem while U.S. securities settle via DTC and traditional rails.

Large global banks and research firms have issued forecasts for tokenized real world assets. These estimates range from a few trillion dollars to over thirty trillion dollars. The projections reflect growing interest in linking traditional markets with blockchain systems.

Global banks increase forecasts for tokenized asset markets

Major financial institutions have published separate estimates for tokenized asset growth. JPMorgan projects up to $13 trillion tokenized real world assets by 2030. In addition, Standard Chartered expects the market could exceed $30 trillion.

Meanwhile, McKinsey estimates a range between $2 trillion and $4 trillion. Deutsche Bank also places its forecast between $2 trillion and $3 trillion. These figures come from firms that manage large global capital flows.

The reports focus on assets like bonds, stocks, and funds. These assets would remain in regulated systems. However, settlement and access methods may move onto blockchain rails.

Ondo Global Markets and settlement structure

Ondo Global Markets provides tokenized access to U.S.-listed assets. These tokens represent exposure to traditional securities held in regulated markets. As a result, users gain access through blockchain systems.

At the same time, tokenization does not break U.S. capital markets. Instead, it extends access while keeping core assets in place. Therefore, the U.S.-listed security remains the base asset.

When investors access tokens, transactions still connect to U.S. market systems. Quotes are generated using real time market data. Then smart contracts mint or redeem tokens at matched prices.

Market pricing and execution data from Ondo

Ondo reports tight pricing alignment between tokens and underlying assets. Between February and April 2026, most trades stayed within two basis points. In addition, 95% of trades stayed under five basis points.

This pricing behavior comes from real time market data feeds. Token values adjust quickly when traditional prices move. As a result, large gaps between markets are limited.

Smart contracts manage the minting and redemption process. They follow price data from traditional exchanges. Therefore, execution remains close to underlying market conditions.

Global access and U.S. market integration model

Tokenized access allows global investors to interact with U.S.-listed assets. However, the underlying securities continue to settle through established U.S. systems. This includes clearing and settlement through DTC infrastructure.

The model connects blockchain-based access with traditional financial rails. Investors receive token exposure while settlement occurs in regulated markets. As a result, tokenization links two systems rather than replacing one.

Well-designed tokenization broadens the investor base that can reach U.S. assets. It also increases demand routed back into onshore markets where those assets are listed. In this structure, tokens function as access tools while traditional securities remain the settlement foundation.
