Binance Research says tokenized stocks are shifting from issuance growth to distribution and on-chain use
Binance Research said the tokenized stock market is moving beyond an issuance-led phase, with trading activity now rising faster than asset growth. The report said active market capitalization climbed 314% year to date to $4 billion, while monthly trading volume jumped from $237 million in January to $7.9 billion in August. Monthly turnover rose from 0.23x to 2.14x and reached 3.32x in July. The report also pointed to a sharp change in distribution. bStocks and Robinhood stocks accounted for just 0.8% of tracked issuer trading volume in June, then rose to 82.3% in August and 87.8% so far in September. On the infrastructure side, BNB Chain and Robinhood Chain together grew from 2.3% of trading volume in June to 88.2% so far in September. Binance Research said on-chain utility is also catching up with issuance. Active DeFi TVL tied to tokenized stocks expanded from $21.6 million at the start of the year to $289.1 million by Sept. 9, raising its share of active market cap from 2.2% to 7.2%. The firm argued that the next competitive edge will depend less on putting more stocks on-chain and more on turning distribution into lasting liquidity and real usage.
