The tokenized stock market is exploding: the number of holders has doubled in a month
The tokenization sector for real-world assets (RWA) is experiencing rapid growth, and the numbers from the past month clearly confirm this. The number of unique addresses holding tokenized stocks has surged by 124%, reaching 1.31 million. This is not just a correction or a local spike—it is a structural shift indicating growing confidence among institutional and retail investors in digital counterparts to traditional securities.
The transfer volume is especially telling: over 30 days, it jumped by nearly 180%, reaching an impressive $23.13 billion. Such dynamics show that assets are not just sitting in wallets but are actively used—for settlements, trading, or as collateral. The number of active addresses conducting transactions rose by 34.6% to 572,000, confirming that the market is becoming liquid and truly functional.
The total distributed value of digitized securities grew by 5.9%, reaching $2.38 billion. At first glance, the growth in market capitalization is more modest than the dynamics in holder numbers, but this is logical: the influx of new participants often outpaces the revaluation of underlying assets. The key signal here is the expansion of the investor base, not just speculative heating.
My analysis: We are observing a classic early adoption pattern, where infrastructure (DeFi compatibility, regulation) catches up with demand. A 124% monthly increase is not an anomaly but the beginning of market consolidation. In the coming quarters, we should expect major issuers of traditional securities to start actively bringing their products into tokenized format, and then the current $2.38 billion will seem like just a starting point. Investors who are not yet looking at RWA should think about it: this train is leaving, and its speed is only increasing.
