REALSince the beginning of 2026, the share of tokenized stocks within the real-world assets (RWA) segment has tripled, reaching 15%. The total market capitalization of tokenized stocks has grown to around $2.8 billion, with transfer volumes in August hitting $20 billion. Initially, the focus was on tokenized treasury bonds and money market funds, but now trading of stocks via blockchain rails is expanding, making the market more accessible to mainstream users. Most tokens are synthetic representations of stocks rather than full legal securities with voting rights and protections. Industry experts anticipate a future shift towards fully on-chain securities that offer similar rights and protections.
The growth of tokenized stocks signifies increased adoption of blockchain-based securities, with a trend towards more comprehensive on-chain securities expected in the future.
