US$39 Billion and Counting: Tokenised Bonds Are Going Mainstream, and the Gap Is Your Opportunity
Tokenisation has moved from pilot to platform. According to RWA.xyz, distributed tokenised Real-World Asset (RWA) value reached about US$39.0 billion on 7 October, up roughly US$300 million on the previous day.
The gap hiding in the numbers
Tokenised United States (US) Treasuries account for around US$14.9 billion. Tokenised government debt from every other country combined is only about US$1.04 billion. Investors clearly want on-chain bonds, yet almost no issuers outside the US have stepped up to meet that demand.
Market infrastructure is ready
The European Central Bank (ECB) Pontes settlement service, linking distributed ledger technology (DLT) platforms with central bank money, has been live since 21 September.
The European Union (EU) DLT Pilot Regime is under review, with a view to scaling tokenised securities markets.
The United Kingdom (UK) Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS) remains active for regulated digital issuance.
Demand for tokenised bonds is proven. Supply from non-US issuers is the missing piece.
First movers win
For governments, corporations and banks, being early to tokenised issuance means access to a fast-growing, yield-hungry investor base with far less competition for attention. Fitzgerald Digital Markets (FDM) offers exactly that: a Luxembourg-based tokenised RWA bond platform, issuance from 50 million United States dollars (USD), and a mission to bring underserved issuers to global investors.
