The market for tokenized stocks has exploded with growth: the number of holders has doubled in a month.
The tokenization sector of real-world assets (RWA) is experiencing a true boom, and the numbers from the past month clearly confirm this. The number of unique addresses holding tokenized stocks has surged by 124% — from approximately 585,000 to 1.31 million. This is not just incremental growth, but an exponential expansion of the investor base, who are increasingly shifting from traditional brokerage accounts to on-chain solutions.
The volume of transfers in this segment over 30 days has grown by nearly 180%, reaching an impressive $23.13 billion. Such dynamics indicate not only speculative interest, but also real use of the instruments: investors are not just holding tokens, but actively trading them, moving liquidity, and using them as collateral in DeFi protocols. The number of active addresses conducting transactions has increased by 34.6% — to 572,000, pointing to high engagement rather than passive accumulation.
The total distributed value of digitized securities has grown by 5.9%, to $2.38 billion. Although this increase seems modest against the backdrop of the jump in the number of holders, it reflects an important trend: the market is not just inflating, but structuring itself. The growth in value with such a number of new participants means that the average ticket size is decreasing, making tokenized assets accessible to retail investors, not just large institutions.
My analysis: The doubling of holders in a month is a marker of a turning point. We are witnessing how tokenized stocks are ceasing to be a niche experiment and are becoming a full-fledged asset class. However, given that $23 billion in monthly turnover is only a small fraction of the volumes on traditional exchanges, the growth potential remains colossal. The question is only how quickly regulators will adapt to this reality, and whether the sharp influx of retail investors will become a trigger for stricter rules.
