The Press Release released by the company further expressed enthusiasm for the growing RWA markets by highlighting that Real World Assets are set to play a significant role in the prediction set by World Economic Forum (WEF). The prediction made by WEF in its 2015 report titled “Deep Shift: Technology Tipping Points and Societal Impact” says that by 2027, over 10% of the world’s GDP valued at $10 trillion will be stored on the Blockchain networks.

Market Reaction and the growing RWAs industry

The native token of MANTRA, $OM has witnessed a decline of around 2.46% on the last 24 hours though market expert Rachel Crypto has predicted that the OM price would hit $15 in the near future. It is also worth noting that the token has rallied by 29x in the past year, according to data from IntotheBlock. And now with the launch of RWAccelerator and the new partnerships and initiatives that it has been coming up consistently, the token is bound to receive utility boost in the near future.

With the global tokenization market projected to grow at CAGR of 19%, to reach $5.6 billion by 2026, the RWA industry is experiencing rapid growth with numerous startups emerging on the landscape. Few examples include Fraktion, Rally, Brickken, Abu Dhabi-based Realize, and Nigeria-based TrendX, among others.

Therefore, this initiative of MANTRA can accelerate the development of new tokenized financial products and bring more assets on-chain. It can further help in bringing the gap between traditional and DeFi by leading the tokenization of real-world financial instruments such as real estate, commodities, bonds, and private equity.
