Solana's tokenized commodities surge to $87M weekly volume as Raydium dominates trading

Solana has emerged as a significant hub for tokenized commodities, recording $87 million in weekly trading volume as of late 2026. The network's tokenized gold supply experienced a 689% year-over-year increase, reaching a total supply value of approximately $50 million by August 2026. Raydium, the primary decentralized exchange on Solana, facilitates the majority of this activity, consistently capturing between 63% and 90% of the network's tokenized asset volume. New product offerings, such as GMTrade's 24/7 perpetual contracts for gold, silver, and WTI crude oil, have further expanded commodity exposure for users. Additionally, the integration of Paxos Gold (PAXG) into the Kamino lending protocol allows users to utilize tokenized gold as collateral for borrowing. While Ethereum remains the dominant force in the broader on-chain gold market, Solana's rapid growth in supply and holder counts highlights its increasing competitiveness in the RWA sector. This trend underscores a broader shift toward high-frequency, on-chain commodity trading and decentralized financial utility for real-world assets.
