The cumulative value of U.S. Treasury notes tokenized on public blockchains<\/a> has surpassed the $1 billion mark in what can be a significant indicator of the acceptance of blockchain technology<\/a> within the traditional finance<\/a> industry.<\/p>\n Treasury notes on Ethereum<\/a> (ETH) account for $700 million of all real-world assets (RWA)<\/a> tokenized on-chain. Stellar<\/a> and Polygon<\/a> have the second and third largest market share of tokenized products at $358 million and $13 million, respectively.<\/p>\n However, U.S. Treasuries represent just a fraction of the potential market. Stocks, real estate, intellectual property, art, securities, commodities, and numerous other assets<\/a> also hold the possibility for tokenization.<\/p>\n Mohammed AlKaff AlHashmi, co-founder of L1 blockchain HAQQ<\/strong>, told Techopedia:<\/p>\n “I think it hints at a future where tokenization extends beyond U.S. Treasuries to a diverse array of assets that have traditionally been opaque and exclusive.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
