Tokenized stocks are gaining traction on-chain, with both spot trading and lending-related collateral use moving higher, according to Token Terminal data cited by The Defiant. Over the past 90 days, cumulative spot DEX volume tied to tokenized stocks reached $1.8 billion, while deposits in lending markets stood at about $23 million. Trading activity was concentrated on BNB Chain and Solana, which accounted for 47.3% and 45.5% of the 90-day total, respectively. By asset exposure, tokens tracking QQQ and SPY made up 40.5% and 40.4% of total volume. On the lending side, usage was also highly concentrated: xStocks held an 86.5% share among issuers, Solana accounted for 85.5% of chain share, and Kamino represented 82.6% of protocol share. Even so, the report said the category remains small relative to the broader DeFi market. It compared current activity with Uniswap’s roughly $45 billion in monthly trading volume and xStocks’ roughly $330 million in TVL, indicating that tokenized equities still sit on a relatively low base in both trading and collateral applications.
