Ethereum News Today: Tokenized Stocks Surge 220% Monthly Driven by Blockchain Growth and Regulatory Clarity

Binance Research recently released a report indicating that tokenized on-chain equities could potentially unlock $1.3 trillion in global equity value if only 1% of global equities transition to blockchain-based structures [1]. The report highlights explosive growth in the sector, driven by rising user adoption and increasing regulatory clarity, which are making tokenized stocks more accessible and credible [1].

According to the report, tokenized xStocks experienced a 220% monthly surge in growth, reaching a market cap of $370 million [1]. These digital assets are being positioned as a new way to access traditional U.S. equities, leveraging blockchain infrastructure and evolving regulatory frameworks to open financial markets to a broader audience [1]. Backed Finance’s xStocks has emerged as the dominant provider in the tokenized stock space, with Tesla, SPY, and Nvidia being among the most held assets [1].

User activity in the space has also grown significantly, with active tokenized stock users increasing from 1,600 to over 90,000 within a single month [1]. Dune Analytics data shows that xStocks surpassed $2 billion in total trading volume, led by Tesla and the SPY exchange-traded fund [1]. These trends suggest growing demand and institutional interest, with major exchanges like Kraken and ByBit integrating tokenized stocks through networks such as Solana [1].

Ethereum remains the leading blockchain platform in the tokenized asset market, capturing $4.6 billion of the $5.76 billion market [1]. Despite new tokenized stock offerings on Solana, capital flows have increasingly shifted toward Ethereum, reinforcing its dominance in on-chain financial infrastructure [1]. The report anticipates that Ethereum and Solana will continue to benefit as tokenization reshapes access to global financial markets [1].

Binance Research suggests that tokenized stocks could scale faster than decentralized finance (DeFi) did during its 2020–2021 boom [1]. This rapid growth is attributed to clearer regulatory environments, improved infrastructure, and the inherent efficiency of blockchain technology in reducing barriers to entry for global investors [1].
