The Boom of Tokenized Stocks: Bitget's Product Raised $100 Million in 5 Weeks — What's Behind the Explosive Growth?
The market for tokenized securities continues to show impressive momentum. Just five weeks after the launch of Bitget's rToken product, the volume of assets attracted has exceeded the $100 million mark. This result is not just a statistic, but a clear confirmation that the tokenized equity sector has moved from the experimental stage to a phase of active scaling.
According to my data, since June 2, the total trading volume of rToken has reached $671.37 million, with an average daily turnover of $19.75 million and a peak value of $56.16 million. The key driver of this demand has been the tokenized exposure to SpaceX shares (rSPCX), which accounts for 23.51% of all platform assets. This is the largest digitized security in the portfolio, followed by rCSCO (17.75%) and rNVDA (13.38%).
Why is the tokenized equity market growing so fast?
The explosive interest in rToken coincided with a general rise across the entire tokenized equity segment. In June, its turnover reached $3.4 billion for the first time — a 279% increase month-over-month and a 1400% increase year-over-year. The main reasons are the hype around SpaceX and, more importantly, the ability to trade 24/7. Traders gain access to equity instruments outside standard exchange sessions, opening new horizons for arbitrage and risk management.
According to RWA.xyz, the total market for tokenized equities is approximately $1.82 billion, and this figure has grown by 26% over the last 30 days. However, the dynamics of active addresses raise questions: over the month, their number decreased by about 75%, despite the growth in value and transaction volume. This indicates a consolidation of capital in the hands of large players, rather than a mass influx of retail users.
My analysis: The growth in asset volume against the backdrop of a decline in the number of active addresses is a classic sign of institutional entry. Large funds and professional traders are entering this sector, using tokenized equities as a tool for diversification and round-the-clock access to liquidity. This is not hype, but a structural shift that will only intensify as new products and regulatory clarity emerge.
