Tokenized Equities Boom in 2026 with Bitget Leading the Charge

The tokenized equities market has experienced rapid growth in 2026, according to a new report from DeFiLlama. The report found that tokenization's active market capitalization grew by more than 140% this year, increasing from $814 million at the beginning of the year to nearly $2 billion at the time of publication.

The report also highlighted Bitget as one of the leading tokenized equity platforms, with DeFiLlama's analysis finding that Bitget recorded the lowest median bid-ask spread at 0.83 basis points and the deepest top-of-book liquidity across all five tokenized equity markets evaluated.

Bitget CEO Gracy Chen noted that 'A tokenized stock is only as good as the market behind it. Investors don't care how the asset is packaged if they can't trade it efficiently.' The report's findings suggest that execution quality and liquidity are becoming increasingly important differentiators between platforms as the tokenized equities market continues to mature.
