What is post-trade tokenization and how will stablecoins be used?
Post-trade tokenization is the process of representing securities and collateral as digital tokens to streamline verification, settlement and custody. Citi’s survey indicates bank-issued stablecoins will be the primary vehicle to improve collateral efficiency, fund tokenization and private market access by 2030.
How much market turnover will stablecoins and tokenized securities handle by 2030?
Citi polled 537 custodians, banks, broker-dealers, asset managers and institutional investors across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The aggregate expectation is that about 10% of post-trade market turnover could be conducted with stablecoins or tokenized securities by 2030. Regionally, the U.S. expectation is highest at 14%, Europe at 10% and Asia Pacific at 9%.

The survey also highlighted drivers: liquidity improvements and lower post-trade costs were cited as primary reasons for investing in distributed ledger technology (DLT). Respondents noted that tokenization can materially cut funding costs and operating expenses before 2028.
Bank-issued stablecoins are perceived as providing regulatory alignment, familiar counterparty credit profiles and easier integration with existing treasury and settlement systems. Citi’s report states institutions believe these tokens will best support collateral mobility and private fund tokenization without compromising compliance frameworks.
Survey respondents also pointed to institutional leadership — including stablecoin issuers and large asset managers — as key to scaling digital liquidity. The regulatory environment, particularly recent U.S. legislation, has further increased confidence among market participants.
