Tokenized Stocks Reach $3.3B As Off-Hours Trading Grows

Tokenized equities have reached nearly $3.3 billion in value as investors increasingly utilize round-the-clock access beyond traditional Wall Street hours, according to data from RWA.xyz cited by Cointelegraph.

Data from Blockworks cited by The Kobeissi Letter indicates that more than 70% of tokenized stock trading volume on BNB Chain occurs outside the standard 9:30 am to 4 pm Eastern trading session. Similar trends appear on other public networks, with off-hours volume reaching 63% on Solana and nearly 60% on Base. Additionally, the Solana-based trading platform Jupiter reported a 50% month-over-month increase in tokenized asset trading volume.

Market Activity Beyond Wall Street

The figures suggest that market participants utilize tokenized equities primarily to trade while traditional US exchanges remain closed, rather than merely replicating standard trading hours. Significant portions of the $3.3 billion market value are concentrated among issuers such as Ondo Global Markets, xStocks, and bStocks, whose tokens are issued and traded across multiple blockchains.

Regulatory Developments in the US

This growth aligns with shifting US regulatory stances on tokenized securities. The Securities and Exchange Commission recently introduced an innovation exemption allowing qualifying venues to trade tokenized US-listed stocks on public blockchains. SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda stated that participating venues must publish transaction data in US dollars, including prices, sizes, timestamps, daily trading volumes, and disclose liquidity pool addresses and balances.
