Tokenized Stocks Break Records as Capitalization Hits New Highs
The market for tokenized stocks is experiencing rapid growth. With a capitalization of $1.2 billion, this new segment appears to attract the attention of crypto giants and financial institutions.
In brief
- Tokenized stocks reach $1.2 billion, driven by institutional adoption and crypto blockchain.
- Ethereum and Stellar establish themselves as key crypto infrastructures for the regulated growth of tokenized financial assets.
Here’s How Tokenized Stocks Are Reshaping the Crypto and Financial Landscape
The enthusiasm around tokenization is intensifying. Tokenized stocks faithfully replicate the value of traditional securities like Apple, Tesla, or Amazon on the blockchain. Result: the crypto market is seeing a new form of securities tradable 24/7.
In just 18 months, the sector’s capitalization has jumped from $450 million to $1.2 billion. This 167% growth is explained by a massive influx of investors and clearer regulatory visibility.
Platforms like Backed Finance, Securitize, and Ondo Finance also play a key role. They offer stock fractionalization, continuous liquidity, and instant settlement of transactions.
The Nasdaq has even filed an application to allow the trading of tokenized stocks. This reflects a strategic shift.
Ethereum and Stellar, Pillars of the Tokenized Infrastructure
To ensure the proper functioning of this new financial layer, two blockchains dominate: Ethereum and Stellar.
Ethereum hosts 50% of tokenized stocks thanks to its compatibility with DeFi. Its stable yields and integration of Ethereum spot ETFs also distinguish it. Added to this is its ability to interact with other crypto protocols, making tokenization smooth and universal.
Stellar, meanwhile, focuses on compliance. Thanks to KYC/AML verification and ISO 20022 compatibility, the crypto blockchain attracts institutions. Its minimal cost and performance also make it an ideal solution for regulated assets. In 2025, it serves as a foundation for many projects related to decentralized finance (notably in stock fractionalization and tokenized securities).
Tokenized stocks are therefore no longer just a test. They become a strong link between traditional finance and cryptocurrencies. With players like Nasdaq, Kraken, or Coinbase poised, crypto seems to be preparing a profound transition of the global market. Story to follow…
