Bitwise Chief Investment Officer: The tokenization revolution brings huge opportunities to Bitcoin, Solana, etc.
Bitwise Chief Investment Officer (CIO) Matt Hougan today issued a bold prediction: Bitcoin, Solana, Hyperliquid and Uniswap are expected to benefit from the growing wave of tokenization. As real-world assets (RWAs, such as stocks, precious metals, etc.) quickly become accessible and tradable on the chain through tokenization, the line between traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi) is gradually blurring.

Currently, the total value of tokenized assets has reached US$31.73 billion, higher than the record of US$6 billion set in April 2024. This significant increase suggests that tokenization of real-world assets, including stocks, government bonds, money market funds and private credit, is steadily being adopted on the chain.
Why tokenization is a trillion-dollar opportunity
It is based on this growth trend that Bitwise management believes that the future of cryptocurrencies lies in connecting real-world assets to blockchain infrastructure. In a podcast released on Platform X that day, Hougan clearly pointed out that Bitcoin, Solana, Hyperliquid and Uniswap are the main cryptocurrencies that may benefit from the rising tokenization boom.
Hougan admitted that tokenization has become an important way to integrate the cryptocurrency industry with traditional finance. Data shows that the current total chain locked value (TVL) of government debt is US$9.1 billion, accounting for 42% of the RWA value in the entire chain. The value of gold-backed tokens is US$3.1 billion, and according to RWA.xyz, the market value of tokenized stocks has grown from less than US$300 million a year ago to US$2.5 billion today.
Based on this steady growth trend, Standard Chartered Bank's digital assets team predicted in May that the scale of tokenized assets will reach US$4 trillion by the end of 2028 and US$18.9 trillion by 2033. On the other hand, Hougan and the Bitwise team believe that with the support of positive factors such as institutional participation and favorable supervision, the size of tokenized assets may even reach US$600 trillion.
A new era of on-chain practicality
Hougan said that the volatile cryptocurrency market is rapidly turning into areas of substantial value. Although he admitted that speculative hype is fading, he pointed out that crypto projects with strong real-world utility such as Bitcoin, Solana, Hyperliquid and Uniswap are attracting the attention of top investors. He predicts that these four crypto assets will lead the next round of growth driven by the RWA tokenization movement.
Tokenization connects real-world assets to on-chain ownership, providing global investors with unprecedented transparency, liquidity and returns. As a result, Hougan listed BTC, SOL, HYPE and UNI as the top crypto assets at the forefront of the movement, providing investors with real returns tied to on-chain rewards, deeper liquidity, and open investment opportunities that banks and traditional financial institutions cannot provide.
