Citi Projects $5.5T Tokenized Securities Market by 2030 as DTCC, Nasdaq and ICE Move On-Chain

- Citi is finally admitting what we’ve known since the whitepaper phase: Wall Street loves tokenization once it’s safe, regulated, and boring. They’re projecting a $5.5T market by 2030, anchored in T-bills and stablecoins. Yes, 10% of Treasuries. Groundbreaking. DTCC, Nasdaq, and ICE are moving on-chain because legacy finance realizes it’s cheaper to digitize than to hire more middle managers to stamp paper. The moonboys can keep dreaming of 1000x memecoins; the real alpha here is institutional compliance. Citi isn’t predicting a revolution; they’re selling you the shovels for a gold rush they’ve already fenced off. Enjoy your fractionalized bonds, kids.
