Tokenized Equities Market Soars 140% in 2026

A recent DeFiLlama research report has mapped the growing market of tokenized equities, revealing that it surged by over 140% in 2026. The report found that the active market capitalization of tokenization grew from $814 million at the beginning of the year to nearly $2 billion at the time of publication.

The study evaluated leading tokenized equity platforms across various criteria, including brokerage integration, reserve verification, dividend treatment, settlement mechanisms, and trading infrastructure. It also benchmarked quoted liquidity and execution quality across multiple venues.

According to the report, 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. The findings suggest that as tokenized equity infrastructure matures, execution quality and liquidity are becoming increasingly important differentiators between platforms.
