Standard Chartered forecasts $4 trillion in tokenized assets by 2028, positioning DeFi as essential institutional infrastructure.Summary
Standard Chartered's digital assets research head, Geoff Kendrick, predicts that tokenized assets will reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028, with stablecoins and real-world assets (RWA) each comprising half. The bank emphasizes that the "composability" of blockchain protocols—allowing assets to earn yield and serve as collateral simultaneously—gives DeFi a structural advantage over traditional finance. As institutional capital migrates on-chain, established DeFi protocols with robust governance and risk management are expected to benefit most from the increased throughput and usage.
