Gen Z favors ETFs and trades less than older cohorts: Binance

Binance Research reports that Gen Z traders are increasingly shifting their equity activity toward exchange-traded funds, which accounted for 25% of their trading volume by early August. This demographic exhibits lower trading frequency and reduced leverage usage compared to older generations like Millennials and Gen X. While Gen Z shows a preference for buy-only strategies in direct equities, their portfolio choices include assets like Broadcom and the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF. Simultaneously, the tokenized stock market is experiencing competitive growth, with Binance’s bStocks and Kraken’s xStocks vying for the second-largest market share. As of Friday, the broader tokenized stock market tracked by RWA.xyz reached approximately $2.43 billion in distributed value. Ondo Finance currently maintains its position as the largest issuer in this sector with $971.8 million in value. These trends highlight a maturing interest in diversified, tokenized financial products among younger investors, signaling a shift in how digital asset platforms capture equity market participation.
