IdeaFeX addresses both financing and investment. The overall turnover on the secondary market can be considerably higher than the size of the primary market: (i) asset price can appreciate over time, (ii) some assets can remain in trading years after issuance, and (iii) we will enlist tokenized assets issued elsewhere that nonetheless meet our standards. As tokenized assets (beyond cryptocurrency) are new and the first tokens are expected in 2019, we take two steps in sizing this market: First, we estimate the annual financing market in ten years as substitutes or complements to existing alternatives. Then, we estimate what evolutions of the primary market could mean for the market capitalization in the same time frame.
In the first step, we consider the annual markets of auction house, real estate, asset financing, infrastructure, crowdfunding, ICO, supply chain, and venture capital. These will be grouped into the three main asset classes on IdeaFeX.
