Aave founder Stani Kulechov predicts that by 2050, DeFi will benefit from tokenizing abundant assets such as solar energy, potentially opening up new collateral categories for the market. Currently, nearly $25 billion worth of real-world assets have been tokenized, mainly traditional assets like U.S. Treasury bonds. It is expected that the tokenization of abundant assets will see significant growth in the future.

Mars Finance reports that according to Cointelegraph, Aave founder Stani Kulechov stated that by 2050, DeFi could benefit from tokenizing $50 trillion worth of “abundant assets” such as solar energy, opening up a new category of on-chain collateral. Data from RWA.xyz shows that nearly $25 billion in real-world assets have been tokenized on-chain so far, primarily in the form of U.S. Treasuries, stocks, commodities, private credit, and real estate. Kulechov expects these scarce assets to continue growing, but “the greatest impact of tokenization can be achieved by tokenizing abundant assets.” By 2050, solar energy alone could account for $15-30 trillion.
