CoinShares projects an unprecedented growth of nearly 229% in tokenized assets by 2026, primarily fueled by increased institutional adoption. This analysis is derived from its 2026 Digital Asset Outlook, which highlights robust demand for real-world assets (RWAs).
Key players involved include CoinShares International Ltd., a prominent European digital asset manager. CEO Jean-Marie Mognetti emphasizes institutional demand for tokenization and plans to unveil products capturing these structural trends.
The anticipated growth could significantly impact global financial assets and infrastructure, with institutions like J.P. Morgan actively processing tokenized assets. The transformation is supported by the evolving blockchain technology landscape.

The forecast underscores a strategic pivot for many financial firms. As regulatory environments adapt, there could be increased collaboration between traditional finance and blockchain technology sectors.
Potential outcomes include the proliferation of tokenized financial products, spurring economic growth and innovation. Historical trends suggest a growing acceptance of blockchain solutions amid rapidly changing financial landscapes.
The case for digital assets as an investment class and blockchain as a transformative technology has reached a decisive inflection point and can no longer be ignored. There is no going back. — Jean-Marie Mognetti, CEO & Co-Founder, CoinShares
