Tokenized Equities Soar 140% to Nearly $2 Billion in 2026

DeFiLlama has published a report on the growth of tokenized equities in 2026. According to the research, the active market capitalization of tokenized equities has surged by over 140% this year, increasing from $814 million at the start of 2026 to nearly $2 billion.

The study, which evaluated leading tokenized equity platforms, found 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 examined.

Bitget's CEO, Gracy Chen, stated, '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 also highlighted that adoption trends within Bitget's Reality rTokens have been strong, with cumulative trading volume exceeding $1.16 billion between June and July.
