Tokenized stock trading volume jumps 105% to $8.4 billion in a month

Trading volume for tokenized stocks surged by over 100% in the past month, reaching a total of $8.4 billion according to RWA.xyz data. The total value of tokenized equities in circulation climbed 43% to $2.16 billion, while the user base expanded by 17% to exceed 409,000 holders. This growth significantly outpaces the broader RWA market, which saw a more modest 4% increase to $33.5 billion during the same period. Major platforms like Figure and Securitize experienced triple-digit percentage growth, while Ondo Finance maintains its position as the market leader with $846 million in assets under management. The sector's momentum is bolstered by high-profile initiatives, including the availability of tokenized SpaceX shares via xStocks and Securitize's issuance of its own shares on Solana and Avalanche. Furthermore, institutional interest is intensifying as the DTCC and the New York Stock Exchange develop infrastructure for tokenized securities and ETFs. This rapid expansion signals a shift toward integrating traditional custody and settlement frameworks with blockchain-based trading, marking a pivotal moment for the maturation of the RWA ecosystem.

U.S. Treasuries

Best Platforms to Trade Tokenized Real World Assets

The tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market has experienced significant growth, reaching a valuation where tokenized RWAs represent approximately 6.4% of the stablecoin market as of Q1 2026. Tokenized U.S. Treasuries currently dominate the sector with $15.16 billion in assets, led by major institutional players like BlackRock’s BUIDL and Franklin Templeton’s BENJI. Platforms such as Ondo Finance, Maple, and Centrifuge provide diverse exposure ranging from low-risk government debt to high-yield private credit. While institutional products often require KYC-authorized wallets, other platforms like Lofty enable retail participation in fractionalized real estate. The market distinguishes clearly between tokenized RWAs, which represent economic interest in off-chain assets held by custodians like BNY Mellon, and project-specific governance tokens. Investors are increasingly utilizing these on-chain vehicles to bypass traditional brokerage fees and gain direct exposure to yield-bearing instruments. As the ecosystem matures, the integration of independent credit ratings and multi-chain support continues to enhance transparency and accessibility for global investors.

Ondo Joins Perps Race Against Hyperliquid, Coinbase — Allows Tokenized Stocks As Collateral

Ondo has officially launched its on-chain perpetual trading platform, Ondo Perps, enabling users to trade tokenized equities and commodities with up to 20x leverage. The platform distinguishes itself by allowing traders to use tokenized stocks directly as collateral, eliminating the need to convert assets into stablecoins before opening positions. During its private beta phase, the platform facilitated nearly $2 billion in trading volume, and it recorded over $100 million in volume on its first day of public availability. The product lineup includes major equities like Nvidia, Coinbase, and SpaceX, alongside commodities such as gold, silver, and oil. This launch marks a strategic expansion for Ondo under CEO Ian De Bode, following the passing of founder Nathan Allman. The platform is currently accessible to global traders, excluding those in the U.S., Panama, and other restricted jurisdictions. By integrating real-world equity exposure with decentralized finance mechanics, Ondo aims to compete directly with established decentralized exchanges like Hyperliquid and centralized platforms like Coinbase. This development highlights the growing trend of bridging traditional financial assets with high-leverage crypto trading infrastructure.

SK Hynix’s $26.5 billion US listing brought to Telegram users via xStocks

Solana has expanded its real-world asset ecosystem by enabling the acquisition of tokenized SK Hynix shares directly on its blockchain. This initiative allows users to access the $26.5 billion market capitalization of the South Korean semiconductor giant through decentralized platforms. The integration is facilitated by Backpack, xStocks, and Ondo Finance, which serve as the primary gateways for investors to purchase these tokenized equities. By bringing high-profile corporate stocks onto the Solana network, the move aims to bridge traditional financial markets with high-speed blockchain infrastructure.

Ondo Debuts First Custodial Tokenized Securities in U.S

Ondo Finance has launched the first U.S.-based custodial tokenized securities solution, marking a significant shift toward integrating blockchain assets within the existing domestic regulatory perimeter. By partnering with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Ondo enables tokenized versions of BlackRock’s iShares Core S&P 500 ETF and Micron stock to offer full shareholder rights, including proxy voting. This model aligns with SEC guidance by utilizing a third-party custodial structure where underlying shares remain within the traditional regulated custody chain. Tokens are minted on the Ethereum blockchain by a registered transfer agent and are backed 1:1 by the actual securities. This development is critical for the RWA market because it moves tokenization away from offshore or issuer-sponsored models toward a standardized, compliant framework. By leveraging Broadridge’s ProxyVote.com platform, the initiative ensures that on-chain investors receive the same governance protections as traditional brokerage clients. This milestone demonstrates that the benefits of blockchain efficiency can be achieved without sacrificing the auditability and accountability of U.S. capital markets.

Everything You Own Will Live On-Chain Thanks to RWA Tokenization

The tokenization of real-world assets has transitioned from theoretical white papers to a robust market where equities, bonds, and commodities are traded on-chain. Tokenized equities experienced significant growth, surging approximately 2,878% to reach a valuation of $963 million by January 2026. Ethereum remains the dominant infrastructure, hosting 50% of the $16.6 billion total RWA market, while BNB Chain has emerged as a major competitor with $4 billion in TVL across 14 issuers. Market leaders like Ondo Global Markets and Backed Finance are driving institutional adoption, while innovative projects like USD.AI are tokenizing physical infrastructure such as Nvidia GPUs. Beyond traditional finance, the market now includes diverse assets ranging from graded collectibles to industrial commodities like uranium and copper. This shift signifies a broader trend where any asset with verifiable value and demand is being migrated to blockchain rails to improve liquidity and accessibility. The rapid expansion across multiple layer-1 chains indicates that tokenization is becoming a foundational layer for global financial markets.

U.S. Treasuries

First Redemption of Cross-Border, Cross-Bank Tokenized Treasuries Completed

Ondo Finance has successfully executed the first near real-time, cross-border, and cross-bank redemption of a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund. The pilot involved Ripple redeeming its OUSG holdings on the XRP Ledger, with fiat settlement facilitated by the Mastercard Multi-Token Network and Kinexys by J.P. Morgan. This transaction bypassed traditional banking cut-off windows, demonstrating a unified flow between public blockchain infrastructure and global correspondent banking networks. By integrating these disparate systems, the collaboration proves that tokenized assets can move seamlessly across borders without relying on manual, siloed wire processes. This development is significant for the RWA market as it addresses the critical bottleneck of settlement infrastructure, which has historically limited the efficiency of onchain assets. The framework establishes a scalable model for 24/7 global markets, allowing institutional-grade tokenized products to interact directly with existing bank accounts. Ultimately, this milestone signals a shift toward continuous, automated financial operations that bridge the gap between decentralized ledgers and traditional finance.

Ondo Perps Launches First Equity Perpetuals Platform With Tokenized Stock Collateral

Ondo Finance has officially launched Ondo Perps, a decentralized exchange platform that enables users to trade perpetual contracts using tokenized U.S. Treasury-backed assets as collateral. By integrating Ondo’s USDY, a yield-bearing stablecoin, the platform allows traders to maintain exposure to interest-earning assets while simultaneously engaging in leveraged trading of tokenized stocks. This development marks a significant evolution in the RWA sector by bridging the gap between traditional equity markets and decentralized finance liquidity. The platform utilizes a decentralized order book model to facilitate high-frequency trading of tokenized equities, aiming to provide a more efficient alternative to traditional brokerage systems. By allowing collateral to remain productive through yield generation, Ondo Perps addresses the capital inefficiency often found in crypto-native derivatives platforms. This integration of yield-bearing RWA collateral into perpetual trading represents a major step toward institutional-grade DeFi infrastructure. Ultimately, the launch signals a growing trend of financial protocols moving beyond simple asset tokenization toward complex, integrated financial ecosystems that leverage blockchain for enhanced utility.
