Dune says tokenized assets do not always trade like traditional markets

A new Dune report found that tokenized markets are developing trading and investment patterns that do not neatly match those seen in traditional finance. Looking across onchain and offchain activity in equities, credit, commodities and cash-equivalent products, the report said the gap is especially visible in equities. Single stocks made up 81% of tokenized equity spot supply, while exchange-traded funds accounted for 19%. Dune valued tokenized real-world assets at $34.5 billion as of Aug. 31, up more than 140% from a year earlier. Cash equivalents still represented the largest share of supply, but equities were the most actively traded segment. Ondo Finance ecosystem head Armand Khatri said tokenization gives investors more control over what they buy because they are less tied to the product menus offered by local intermediaries. Separate data cited by Binance co-CEO Richard Teng put tokenized equities at $4.43 billion as of Sept. 15, equal to just 0.0029% of the $151.9 trillion global listed-equity market. US regulators and market operators have also moved to widen access, including a temporary SEC exemption for limited onchain trading of tokenized US-listed stocks.

CryptoRank says CEX listings hit 517 in Q3, up 47% from the prior quarter

CryptoRank said centralized exchanges added 517 new token listings in the third quarter of 2026, a 47% increase from the previous quarter and a reversal of a decline that had lasted for three straight quarters. The data points to a pickup in listing activity across major trading platforms during the period. Among the exchanges mentioned, OKX raised its new listings count to 100, making it the platform with the second-highest number of additions in the quarter. CryptoRank attributed the broader increase mainly to tokenized assets, saying exchanges are adding more tokenized stocks to their platforms. The figures were cited by PANews on Oct. 1. The item was presented as market information and did not include investment advice.

Theory Ventures founder says RWA crypto market is growing faster than AI

Theory Ventures founder Tomasz Tunguz said the world’s fastest-growing market is not AI but the crypto market built around on-chain real-world assets, or RWA. In his view, RWA is bringing stocks as well as commodities such as oil and copper onto blockchains, while also taking on much of the public price discovery process when commodity exchanges are closed. Tunguz said stock perpetual contracts are being used to provide pre-listing price signals for companies including Anthropic, OpenAI, SpaceX, and Cerebras, while also opening access to international users. He cited data showing that Cerebras’ pre-IPO perpetual price was within 1.3% of its Nasdaq opening price. For SpaceX, he said perpetual open interest stood at about $215 million and cumulative pre-listing trading volume reached roughly $2.2 billion. He also pointed to a September 2026 report from Pantera Capital, which said stock perpetuals on Hyperliquid and Lighter recorded $67.8 billion in June trading volume, or 16 times the spot volume of tokenized stocks. Tunguz added that stablecoins have become one of the top 10 buyers of U.S. Treasuries and are being used to settle these tokenized asset trades.

Base rolls out Cobalt upgrade with conditional trading and issuer controls for tokenized assets

Base has completed its Cobalt upgrade, adding conditional trading features and issuer control tools for tokenized assets through an expanded B20 token standard. Under the update, issuers can apply multiple compliance checks to the same asset, including identity verification, accredited investor eligibility, and sanctions screening. The upgrade also lets issuers preset corporate actions such as stock splits, adjusting the share counts shown in wallets and apps without minting or burning tokens or changing the underlying balance. In addition, issuers may authorize administrators to move tokens without holder approval as long as a public explanation is attached, while Base itself cannot initiate such transfers. Cobalt also introduces Validity Transactions, which allow users to define onchain conditions before submitting a trade. One example given is that a swap executes only if an asset reaches a target price before a specified block deadline. These transactions can remain private until they are included in a block. Base activated B20 on July 8 as its native standard for fungible tokens such as stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. Coinbase later issued B20 tokens on Base on Aug. 25 representing shares of Apple, Nvidia, Meta, and Alphabet.

Dune says most tokenized cash barely trades as equities drive spot volume

A Dune report published Wednesday said tokenized real-world assets reached $34.5 billion at the end of August. Tokenized Treasury funds accounted for half of that total, but their turnover for the month was just 0.006% of supply. By contrast, tokenized equities made up 8% of the market yet generated 93% of spot trading volume. The figures point to a sharp gap between asset size and actual secondary-market activity across tokenized asset classes. While cash-like and Treasury-backed products dominate by market share, trading is concentrated in a much smaller slice of the sector. The report highlights how tokenized RWA growth does not necessarily translate into active trading across the board.

Ignas says Meme coin trades need to match market rhythm, not just rising prices

DeFi researcher Ignas said on X that successful crypto traders need to stay in sync with the market’s rhythm and wait for setups they actually understand, rather than chasing momentum after a token has already moved. He warned that buying after a sharp rise and then panic-selling on a pullback can lead to losses and trap traders in a cycle of rushing into the next hot narrative in an attempt to recover. Ignas said traders should first understand the market’s current "game." He pointed to an earlier points-driven phase, when projects subsidized activity before token generation events, and users sold after receiving airdrops. In his view, the market is now developing a different trading logic around Meme coins and tokenized assets. He added that Meme coins could become one way to drive on-chain total value locked, or TVL, in tokenized stocks. Rather than hunting for Meme coins where insider concentration may be hard to judge, he said he prefers tokens that can capture fees from trading activity, while also examining how much of that revenue actually reaches token holders and whether the valuation makes sense. He also said every trade should have a reason beyond "price is going up" or "it has already fallen a lot," and that position sizes should be reduced if drawdowns repeatedly shake conviction.
