Transfers of tokenized stocks jumped 105% in the past month to $8.41 billion, showing growing demand for blockchain-based equity markets. Data from RWA.xyz also shows the total value of tokenized stocks rose 43% to $2.16 billion, and the number of holders grew 17% to over 409,000. These numbers suggest tokenized equities are becoming one of the fastest-growing parts of the real-world asset (RWA) market.
Several big tokenization platforms helped drive this growth. Figure saw the largest increase in distributed value last month, followed by Securitize and xStocks. Ondo is still the biggest tokenized stock platform by value, ahead of xStocks, Securitize, and Figure.
This sector has done much better than other types of tokenized assets. While tokenized U.S. Treasuries, the biggest part of the RWA market, stayed about the same, the overall tokenized RWA market grew only a little. In contrast, tokenized stocks kept attracting new money and investors.
The market has expanded rapidly over the past year. According to RWA.xyz, the value of tokenized equities has risen from around $378 million to $2.16 billion, representing growth of more than 470% in just 12 months.
Rising investor interest has pushed both crypto companies and traditional financial firms to speed up their tokenization plans. At SpaceX’s recent public market event, exchanges like Kraken, Bybit, and Bitget Wallet offered tokenized pre-IPO shares using xStocks, showing strong demand even though few shares were available.
Building on the SEC’s No-Action Letter related to DTC’s tokenization service, DTCC has convened more than 50 firms through its Industry Working Group to inform the development of DTC’s tokenization service and support responsible exploration of digital asset use cases.

Traditional financial institutions are joining the market too. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) plans to launch a tokenized securities service later this year. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are also working on blockchain-based solutions for tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds.
As competition between traditional finance and crypto platforms intensifies, industry leaders continue to advocate for regulatory frameworks that support 24/7 trading of tokenized securities. The latest growth figures suggest that blockchain-based equity markets are moving steadily toward becoming an increasingly important part of the global financial system.
