Tokenized Equities Market Reaches $2 Billion
The tokenized equities market has expanded rapidly this year as more investors turn to blockchain-based platforms to access traditional assets.
According to the DeFiLlama report, the market’s value has increased by more than 140%, rising from $814 million to nearly $2 billion in 2026.
The report attributes this growth to improvements in market infrastructure and the broader adoption of tokenized stocks. It also evaluates platforms based on factors such as brokerage access, reserve transparency, settlement speed, dividend support, and trading performance.
Bitget Leads in Liquidity and Trading Performance
The DeFiLlama report found that Bitget recorded the lowest median bid-ask spread at 0.83 basis points and demonstrated the strongest top-level liquidity across the five tokenized equity markets analyzed.
The study also compared trading performance across 36 stock perpetual contracts and eight metals and commodity contracts. Bitget ranked first in most order-book depth measurements and achieved the highest overall liquidity across all tested levels.
The findings show that as tokenized equity markets continue to grow, strong liquidity and efficient trade execution are becoming increasingly important factors for trading platforms.
Bitget CEO: Liquidity Will Shape the Market
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen said the future of tokenized stocks depends on the strength of the markets that support them.
“ A tokenized stock is only as good as the market behind it. Investors don’t care how the asset is packaged if they can’t trade it efficiently.”
Chen added that the report’s findings highlight the importance of fast and efficient trading as investor expectations continue to rise.
The report also highlighted interest in Bitget’s Reality rTokens. From June to July, these tokenized asset products recorded more than $1.16 billion in total trading volume.
The research found that semiconductor and technology-related tokenized stocks accounted for most of the trading activity, reflecting strong investor demand for blockchain-based access to technology companies.
