Tokenized stocks exceed $1 billion

Ondo and xStocks establish early leadership

Although the tokenized stock market remains relatively small, a clear distribution of influence among key players is already emerging. According to RWA.xyz, the Ondo platform controls around 58% of the segment, while xStocks products account for approximately 24%. Together, these projects effectively form an early duopoly in the sector.

A report by Foresight Ventures notes that competition between platforms is driven by several factors, including legal structures, available liquidity, and the chosen tokenization models. Investment partner Alice Li says building such platforms requires balancing regulatory and technological considerations.

“Building one of these platforms requires liquidity infrastructure, multi-jurisdiction legal rights, and DeFi composability, and those three things pull against each other,” Li said in an interview with Cointelegraph.

According to her, the current leaders secured strong positions thanks to strategic decisions made at an early stage of development.

The pace of expansion in the segment has also been notable. Marco Wriedt, co-founder and COO of RWA.io, points to the market’s rapid growth over the past year.

“Approximately 2900% growth over twelve months reflects the convergence of several factors, including the launch of major platforms, improved regulatory clarity, and the development of infrastructure that now makes these products accessible to retail users,” Wriedt said.

Why tokenization is becoming a new growth driver in financial markets

The rise of tokenized stocks is happening alongside the broader expansion of the RWA sector, which brings traditional financial instruments into blockchain ecosystems. According to RWA.xyz, the value of tokenized assets excluding stablecoins has already approached $26 billion.

One of the fastest-growing areas is tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds, whose market capitalization now exceeds $11 billion. Major financial institutions such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton are already involved in developing digital representations of traditional assets.

Trading activity is also increasing. For example, through the integration of the 1inch aggregator with Ondo, the combined trading volume of tokenized stocks and ETFs has exceeded $2.5 billion since September 2025.

Experts note that tokenization could significantly reshape global capital markets. Blockchain technology makes assets more accessible to retail investors, simplifies settlement processes, and lowers barriers to cross-border trading. According to Boston Consulting Group, the global market for tokenized assets could exceed $16 trillion by 2030. Many analysts believe tokenization could become one of the key development trends in global capital markets over the next decade.
