Solana Dominates Tokenized Stock Trading with $5.8B Q2 Volume

Solana's decentralized exchanges (DEXs) saw an unprecedented surge in trading volume for tokenized stocks, reaching $5.8 billion in Q2 2026.

This represents a 114% jump from the previous quarter and sets a new all-time high for the category.

The primary catalyst behind this growth is xStocks, a product suite from Backed Finance that launched around mid-2025.

xStocks are tokenized representations of US equities and ETFs, each backed 1:1 by custodied shares of the underlying asset.

The platform's lineup includes tokenized versions of familiar tickers such as TSLAx, AAPLx, NVDAx, and SPYx among others, with more than 60 US stocks and ETFs now available on-chain through the platform.
