- Tokenized real-world assets hit $34.5B as of Aug. 31, up 140% year-over-year, with equities driving the most trading activity.
- Single stocks make up 81% of tokenized equity spot supply, sharply contrasting with traditional markets where ETFs dominate.
- The tokenized equity market sits at $4.43B — just 0.0029% of global listed equities — but Binance Research projects it could reach $349B by 2030.
- U.S. regulators and exchanges are moving to expand tokenized trading, including an SEC exemption and NYSE plans for tokenized stocks.
Tokenized markets are showing fundamentally different trading and investment patterns compared to traditional finance, according to a new Dune report comparing onchain and off-chain activity across equities, credit, commodities and cash equivalents.
Dune found the divergence is most pronounced in equities, where single stocks accounted for 81% of tokenized equity spot supply while exchange-traded funds made up just 19%. “The investor decides which they want,” said Armand Khatri, head of ecosystem at Ondo Finance, referring to the choice between single-company and index exposure.
Meanwhile, the total value of tokenized real-world assets reached $34.5 billion as of Aug. 31, up more than 140% from a year earlier. Cash equivalents still dominate supply, but equities emerged as the most actively traded segment.
Separate Binance Research data cited by Binance co-CEO Richard Teng put the tokenized equity market at $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15, up 390% in 2026. That figure represents just 0.0029% of the $151.9 trillion global listed-equity market.
Binance Research projected tokenized equities could reach about $349 billion by 2030 under its base-case scenario. Teng said tokenization could change how investors access equity markets, but that the shift “won’t happen overnight.”
U.S. regulators and exchanges have also taken steps to expand tokenized trading. On Sept. 17, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission granted a temporary exemption allowing limited onchain trading of tokenized U.S.-listed stocks.
The New York Stock Exchange and Blockchain.com also announced plans to offer tokenized U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs through NYSE’s planned digital trading platform, subject to regulatory approval.
