BNB Chain Surpasses $1 Billion in Tokenized Stocks and ETFs
BNB Chain has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first blockchain to surpass $1 billion in tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This growth marks a sharp shift from January 2026, when BNB Chain accounted for roughly 13% of the market, according to Token Terminal data. The total value of tokenized stocks and ETFs on BNB Chain reached about $1.1 billion, representing approximately 30% of a broader market worth $3.7 billion.
The growth in tokenized equities is becoming a larger part of on-chain trading, with Binance Research stating that tokenized-stock transfers exceeded $100 billion in Q3 2026 compared to about $6 billion in Q1 2026. Additionally, their share of decentralized exchange activity averaged 11% in September 2026.
The trend is developing alongside regulatory changes, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's introduction of a 5-year exemption for certain platforms trading tokenized stocks while requiring eligible tokenized securities to provide the same shareholder rights as traditional shares.
