Tokenized US Treasury Market Surges by $1B Since Beginning of Year
The tokenized US Treasury market has grown by over $1 billion since the start of 2026, reaching $10.8 billion.Summary
The market capitalization of tokenized US Treasurys has surged by more than $1 billion since January 1, 2026, climbing to over $10.8 billion from $8.9 billion, despite macroeconomic uncertainty and rising national debt concerns. This growth, which represents a 50x increase since 2024, has been significantly aided by BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL). Furthermore, the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) announced plans in December 2025 to launch its own asset tokenization service, starting with US Treasurys on the Canton network, with plans to expand to ETFs and equities later. Supporters suggest this influx of tokenized assets could generate substantial revenue for the underlying blockchain networks.
