Tokenized Stock Transfers Surge 415% to $29.5 Billion

Tokenized equities, which represent shares of publicly traded companies on blockchains, are emerging as a fast-growing segment of the real-world asset market. The products can offer round-the-clock transfers and integration with decentralized finance, while giving crypto platforms another route into traditional capital markets. Their expansion signals rising demand for regulated, blockchain-based exposure to established securities.

The market value of tokenized equities reached $2.8 billion in 2026, lifting their share of on-chain real-world assets to 15%, triple the level at the start of the year. Ondo Finance, Binance and xStocks together controlled 77% of the segment, underscoring the concentration of issuance and distribution among a small group of platforms as the market expands.

Tokenized stocks bring exposure to publicly traded equities onto blockchains, allowing investors to trade or transfer digital representations through crypto platforms. The products have become a prominent segment of real-world asset, or RWA, tokenization, a market seeking to connect traditional securities with blockchain infrastructure. Rapid adoption is significant because it points to deeper integration between crypto markets and conventional finance, though product structures and investor protections can differ across providers and jurisdictions.

The number of tokenized stock holders more than doubled over the past month to 1.31 million, according to the latest RWA.xyz data. Monthly transfer volume jumped nearly 180% to $23.13 billion over the same period, signaling a sharp rise in on-chain activity. Ondo, Kraken’s xStocks and Binance’s bStocks are among the platforms leading the market, as issuers and exchanges expand access to blockchain-based equity products amid accelerating demand for tokenized assets.

Tokenized stocks represent shares in listed companies on a blockchain, allowing investors to trade them as on-chain tokens. These assets are part of the real-world asset tokenization market. Platforms including Figure, Securitize and Ondo continue to expand supply, with the category now growing faster than segments such as tokenized U.S. Treasuries.

The latest data as of July 2026 showed that monthly on-chain transfers of tokenized stocks surged 105% from the previous month, more than doubling from about $4.1 billion to $8.41 billion. Figure, Securitize and Ondo were the main drivers of the increase, signaling rapid growth in on-chain equity trading.

Tokenized stocks map shares in publicly listed companies, or the economic rights attached to them, onto a blockchain, allowing investors to trade them on-chain and use them in DeFi. The asset class is a key segment of the real-world asset market, and its growth shows that traditional financial products are moving more rapidly onto programmable blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting cross-border transfers.

The total on-chain value of tokenized stocks surpassed $1 billion as of March 10, 2026, up about 2,900% over the past year, according to RWA.xyz. Ondo held a market share of about 58% and xStocks about 24%, giving them a combined 82%. Cumulative trading volume in stocks and ETFs offered through 1inch’s integration with Ondo also topped $2.5 billion on March 6.
