Bank of America analysts have told investors that demand to put stocks, bonds and property on blockchains “is accelerating faster than expected,” pointing to a surge in client pitches since June. The 20-page note, released this morning, says token deals could top $30 billion this year as banks race to offer 24-hour trading and instant settlement.
“We see tokenization moving high-value assets into always-on markets within three years,” the report states, adding that fractional real-estate sales have shifted from proof-of-concept to revenue stage. Analysts singled out Dubai Land Department’s pilot, which aims to digitize about $16 billion in property by 2033, as evidence that regulators now back large-scale projects.
Secondary data providers echo the trend. Crypto exchange MEXC summarized the report, noting a sharp rise in searches for “tokenized yield” among family offices since April. It added that stable-coins remain dominant rails, yet property tokens show the highest growth in enquiry volume.
Real-world-asset deals have expanded all year. Citi tokenized $250 million in trade loans in May, while Brazil’s VERT placed $130 million of farm receivables on XRPL in July. With Congress advancing stable-coin rules and Asian hubs granting new licences, Bank of America says the stage “is set for real-estate tokens to move from niche to mainstream” by early 2026.
