JAKARTA - The development of Real World Assets (RWA) or tokenization is increasingly gaining attention in the global crypto asset industry as the use of blockchain technology by financial institutions increases.
This trend is projected to be one of the drivers of the growth of the digital asset ecosystem in the next few years. The Citi Institute report titled Tokenization 2030 even estimates that the value of the tokenized world assets can reach 5.5 trillion US dollars by 2030 with a current market valuation of around 17 billion US dollars.
Chief Marketing INDODAX, Aloysia Dian, said that the development of asset tokenization is one of the most exciting innovations in the blockchain industry because it is able to bridge traditional financial assets with digital technology so that they are easier to access.
"Tokenization of assets opens up new opportunities for people to gain exposure to various global assets through blockchain infrastructure. This innovation not only introduces a new type of asset, but also reflects how blockchain technology is beginning to be used to improve efficiency, transparency, and accessibility in the financial sector," said Aloysia, in a statement, Tuesday, July 14.
According to him, tokenization allows various assets, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, to alternative assets, to be represented in the form of digital tokens so that they can be traded more efficiently with the support of blockchain technology.
Currently, INDODAX provides more than 20 Real World Assets (RWA) themed assets, including seven tokenized stocks that represent the price movements of global company stocks such as Apple, Amazon, Alphabet (Google), NVIDIA, Tesla, Circle, and Coinbase. The presence of these products expands the options for diversification in the crypto market and opens access for investors to gain exposure to the global economic sector.
As global attention to asset tokenization increases, the trend is also beginning to be reflected in INDODAX. Aloysia said that in addition to the variety of real asset options that are tokenized, this category also shows growth in trading activity and the number of investors throughout the year. Thus, this reflects the increasing public interest in real world asset-based digital investment instruments.
He added that this development shows that blockchain is no longer just synonymous with crypto assets, but is beginning to become an infrastructure that supports the digitization of various financial instruments.
"We see tokenization of assets as one form of evolution of the blockchain industry. The wider the use of this technology, the greater the opportunity to present a more inclusive, efficient, and transparent financial system. Most importantly, all these innovations still need to be supported by clear regulations, good governance, and continuous education so that the benefits can be optimally felt by the community," he explained.
The momentum of the development of asset tokenization is also in line with the direction of the development of the digital asset ecosystem in Indonesia. The Financial Services Authority (OJK), through the Roadmap for Innovation in Financial Sector Technology, Digital Financial Assets, and Crypto Assets (IAKD) 2026-2031, also places the development of asset tokenization, regulation of stablecoins, Over-The-Counter (OTC) transactions, to strengthening cyber security, as a number of strategic initiatives to encourage innovation and strengthen the national digital financial ecosystem.
