Onchain volume hit $9B YTD, up 800% from January. 55% of trades happen outside US market hours. Binance's bStocks alone accounted for 83% of July's $11.3B record.
Alpha Score of 47 reflects weak overall profile with strong momentum, poor value, strong sentiment. Based on 3 of 4 signals – score is capped at 90 until remaining data ingests.
The stock market used to have opening and closing bells. Tokenized equities are making those bells increasingly irrelevant.
Onchain trading volume for tokenized equities has hit $9 billion year-to-date in 2026, according to Blockworks data. That is an 800% increase from roughly $1 billion at the start of the year.
Perhaps more telling than the raw volume: 55% of that trading activity is happening outside traditional US market hours, the data show.
July 2026 alone set a single-month record of $11.3 billion in tokenized equity trading volume, according to the same source.
Binance's bStocks platform accounted for roughly 83% of July's volume, or about $9.41 billion. The bulk of that was driven by trades of a tokenized QQQ ETF, the data indicate.
On the decentralized side, Jupiter on Solana has emerged as a key venue for after-hours trading.
Solana's broader ecosystem has been a major beneficiary. Cumulative onchain equity transfer volumes on the network surpassed $10 billion by the end of June 2026. In the first half of the year alone, Solana processed $4.9 billion in tokenized equity volume, representing a 6x increase from the second half of 2025, per Blockworks data.
The total market capitalization of tokenized equities has climbed to approximately $2.4 billion, up about 250% year-to-date from $684 million in January, according to RWA.xyz data.
The 55% after-hours figure deserves a closer look. Traditional US equity markets operate from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Eastern, with limited pre-market and after-hours sessions that come with wider spreads and thinner liquidity. Tokenized versions trade whenever the blockchain is live, which is always.
The concentration of volume on a handful of platforms does raise legitimate questions. When one platform handles 83% of monthly volume, the ecosystem is functionally dependent on that single venue's uptime, liquidity, and compliance posture.
Liquidity fragmentation is the flip side of the same coin. Tokenized stocks trading on Solana, Ethereum, and centralized platforms like Binance do not share order books. A tokenized Tesla share on Jupiter is not fungible with one on bStocks, which creates pockets of thin liquidity even as aggregate volume soars.
