"We forecast that there will be USD 4tn of tokenised assets on-chain by end-2028, half in stablecoins and half in non- stablecoin RWAs."
"Composability is central to the bank's view. Tokenized assets can settle instantly, trade continuously, support permissionless issuance, and serve several functions at once. A single position can earn yield, collateralize a loan, and remain liquid, improving capital efficiency compared with traditional financial systems."
"The report identifies three channels for higher DeFi throughput. More assets can move on-chain, a larger share of those assets can be deposited into DeFi, and lending against on-chain assets can increase. Standard Chartered said those drivers are multiplicative for protocol activity and token prices."
"Institutional links are already forming through DeFi back-end infrastructure. Standard Chartered cited Coinbase's connection with Morpho through a bitcoin lending product. Coinbase provides front-end and custody services, while Morpho supplies lending logic, the liquidation engine, and the capital pool. The product has about $1.75 billion in loans across 22,000 borrowers."
Tokenized assets on blockchain networks are forecast to reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, with half in stablecoins and half in tokenized real-world assets. DeFi protocols are expected to become core infrastructure as tokenized assets settle instantly, trade continuously, and enable permissionless issuance. Composability is central, allowing a single position to earn yield, collateralize loans, and remain liquid, improving capital efficiency versus traditional finance. Higher DeFi throughput is driven by more assets moving on-chain, a larger share being deposited into DeFi, and increased lending against on-chain assets. Institutional adoption may expand DeFi by bringing more assets onto established platforms, while regulatory and technical risks remain.
