The bitcoin price has topped $45,000 per bitcoin this month, soaring as hype around a BlackRockBLK -0.3% game-changer explodes—though one legendary trader fears the world's largest $10 trillion asset manager could accidentally "destroy" bitcoin.
Now, alongside a surprise prediction Donald Trump could trigger a bitcoin price boom in 2024, San Francisco-based crypto asset manager Bitwise has forecast Wall Street giant JPMorgan will take a major step toward growing tokenized real-world assets to $16 trillion by 2030 next year.
"Launching a tokenized fund in 2024 would allow JPMorgan to take advantage of the efficiencies on-chain assets can offer while entering a market whose growth is exploding," the Bitwise team, led by chief executive Hunter Horsley, wrote in a 2024 predictions report.
"[JPMorgan has] been exploring blockchain technology for years, and recently tested tokenized portfolios on the avalancheAVAX 0.0% blockchain. Those tests allowed them to automate a significant amount of the steps involved in the portfolio management process, including subscriptions, redemptions, rebalancing, and more."
Bitwise's report pointed to a projection from the Global Financial Markets Association that the value of real-world assets tokenized on blockchains would grow from $5.5 billion to $16 trillion by 2030.
Earlier this year, BlackRock became the first Wall Street giant to use JPMorgan's blockchain-based collateral settlement system, part of a plan that BlackRock's chief executive has said will usher in "the next generation for markets."
