Tokenized Stocks Surge to $1.2B Market Cap as Traditional Finance Embraces Blockchain
The tokenized stock market has grown explosively from $450 million to $1.2 billion in just 18 months. This growth stems from institutional adoption and regulatory clarity, with platforms like Backed Finance and Securitize enabling fractional ownership and 24/7 trading of blockchain-based equities.
Ethereum and stellar have emerged as the dominant infrastructures supporting this market. Major financial players are taking notice—Nasdaq has filed to enable tokenized stock trading, signaling mainstream acceptance of blockchain-based securities.
The sector combines crypto's efficiency with traditional assets' stability. Tokenized versions of blue-chip stocks like Apple and Tesla now trade alongside cryptocurrencies, creating new opportunities for investors seeking exposure to both markets.
