Taurus already has 25 financial institutions and corporate customers. Its target market is well identified and expected to grow strongly over the next few years. The start-up estimates the private asset digitization or tokenization segment at $10 billion.

Tokenization, the killer app for TradFi

The big names in finance have already taken steps to capture this growth potential. Last year, for example, JPMorgan carried out transactions via tokenized versions of the yen and Singapore dollar on Polygon.

In a report published in April, Bank of America estimated the size of the tokenized gold market at one billion dollars. According to JPMorgan, tokenization represents nothing less than the “killer app” for traditional finance.

Tokenization of illiquid assets could reach $16,000 billion by 2030. Polygon has a place to take in this sector.
