Tokenized Equities Market Sees 140% Growth, Execution Quality Takes Center Stage

The tokenized equities market is rapidly growing, but Bitget's research report suggests that simply listing stock-backed tokens isn't enough anymore. The active market capitalization of tokenized stocks and equities has risen more than 140% from $814 million to $1.976 billion.

Bitget is positioning itself with two separate products designed for traditional investors and crypto-native traders: Stock+ and Reality rTokens. Stock+ provides direct ownership of over 10,000 US-listed stocks and ETFs through regulated brokerage infrastructure, while Reality rTokens deliver tokenized equity exposure that can be traded with stablecoins, transferred to compatible wallets, and integrated into selected crypto workflows.

The report shows that Reality rTokens generated $1.16 billion in cumulative spot trading volume between June 2 and July 19, averaging $24.2 million per day. Activity accelerated during July, with average daily volume rising from $17.9 million in June to $33.8 million.

Retail traders accounted for $1.11 billion, or 95.1% of total spot volume, while institutions contributed $56.4 million. Semiconductors-related assets dominated trading activity, representing 46.6% of total rToken volume, followed by technology stocks at 34.3%.

Bitget's report argues that pricing alone doesn't determine execution quality. Across five benchmark markets, its rTokens posted the lowest median bid-ask spread while also recording the deepest top-of-book liquidity for every asset tested.
