Market Metrics Analysis

Outstanding Volume by Asset Class

Tokenized sukuk dominate at 40% of outstanding volume, reflecting both the maturity of the sukuk tokenization framework and Saudi Arabia’s position as the world’s largest sukuk market. The private placement segment at 37% reflects the market’s preference for the faster, lower-cost exempt offering pathway during the early adoption phase.

Trading Activity

Tadawul’s digital securities platform trading metrics as of Q1 2026:

The platform has processed SAR 4.2 billion in cumulative settlement volume since pilot launch in Q2 2025, with zero settlement failures — a testament to the R3 Corda blockchain infrastructure’s reliability.

Growth Trajectory

The SAR 10 billion target for end of 2027 depends critically on the sovereign digital sukuk program, which alone targets SAR 5 billion in initial issuance. Combined with projected corporate sukuk, bond, equity, and commodity tokenization, the target is achievable but requires sustained issuance momentum.

Regulatory Compliance Metrics

Saudi Arabia’s FATF membership since 2019 ensures that all market activity is subject to internationally benchmarked anti-money laundering standards, providing institutional investors with confidence in the market’s compliance infrastructure.

Institutional Context and Market Development

The tokenized securities market dashboard reflects the Kingdom’s position as the GCC’s largest and most regulated digital securities venue. PIF’s exploration of tokenization for portfolio company equity — potentially including tokenized Aramco, stc, or SABIC shares — could transform the market’s scale trajectory from billions to tens of billions in outstanding volume. The Saudi FinTech Strategy 2025 — the joint SAMA-CMA policy initiative — sets an explicit SAR 50 billion tokenized securities target by 2030, requiring sustained issuance acceleration from the current SAR 2.1 billion base. The Saudi Blockchain Lab’s Corda throughput optimization research targets the infrastructure capacity needed for SAR 15-20 billion in daily settlement volume. Elm Company’s Nafath digital identity platform and the Saudi Digital Academy’s certification programs provide the identity infrastructure and workforce that support the market’s growth from pilot phase toward full-scale operations. The pipeline of pending issuances — including three corporate sukuk tokenizations and two real estate-backed token offerings currently in CMA review — suggests outstanding volume could reach SAR 3.5 billion by Q3 2026, maintaining the growth trajectory required to approach the SAR 10 billion year-end 2027 milestone.

With Tadawul’s $2.7 trillion market capitalization providing the largest exchange-integrated digital securities venue in the Middle East, and PIF’s approximately $1 trillion portfolio generating institutional demand for tokenized instruments, the market trajectory toward SAR 50 billion by 2030 is supported by sovereign-scale capital commitment that no other GCC jurisdiction can match.
