↳ Why This Matters

The rapid growth in tokenized stock holders and trading volume indicates increasing institutional and retail interest in bringing traditional financial assets onto the blockchain, potentially reshaping market access and liquidity for private and public equities.

Key facts

  • Tokenized stock holders increased to 1.31 million in the past month.
  • Monthly transfer volume for tokenized stocks surged 179% to $23.13 billion.
  • Total distributed value of tokenized stocks rose 5.9% to $2.38 billion.
  • Ondo, Kraken's xStocks, and Binance's bStocks are leading platforms in distributed value.
  • Crypto platforms have been expanding into private-market and pre-IPO tokenized products.

The number of holders for tokenized stocks has more than doubled in the past month, reaching 1.31 million. This surge is accompanied by a significant increase in activity, with monthly transfer volume jumping 179% to $23.13 billion and monthly active addresses growing by 34.62% to nearly 572,000. The total distributed value of these tokenized assets also saw a 5.9% rise, reaching $2.38 billion.

Ondo currently leads the market in distributed value with approximately $872 million. Kraken's xStocks platform follows with $557.8 million, and Binance's bStocks platform is close behind at $521.8 million. Binance's bStocks, which launched in June, has rapidly approached xStocks in distributed value.

Among individual tokenized assets, Securitize leads with $145.2 million in distributed value, followed by Strategy PP Variable xStock at $135.6 million and Ondo’s tokenized Circle shares at $99.7 million.

This growth in tokenized equities is occurring as crypto platforms increasingly focus on private-market and pre-IPO products. Earlier this year, several platforms offered products tied to SpaceX ahead of its public debut, including tokenized pre-IPO exposure and proxy tokens. Despite strong initial demand, some of these SpaceX-related campaigns were canceled due to difficulties in securing sufficient underlying shares, leading to refunds for subscribers. However, tokenized exposure to SpaceX through Binance's bStocks has since grown to $67.9 million.

The expansion of tokenized equities is part of a larger trend in real-world asset tokenization, which Standard Chartered predicts could reach a market value of $4 trillion by the end of 2028.

Frequently asked questions
