Tokenized Stocks Surpass $2 Billion Market Capitalization
The tokenized stock market has undergone significant growth in recent years, according to data from DeFiLlama. Since the start of this year, the market capitalization of tokenized stocks has increased by over 140%, reaching nearly $2 billion.
This shift in demand is driven by users who want access to traditional assets such as shares of Nvidia or Apple on a single platform. Bitget's CEO Gracy Chen notes that the company is developing the concept of a Universal Exchange (UEX) where cryptocurrencies, stocks, commodities, and other financial instruments are available from one account.
The platform has seen steady growth in activity, with trading volume in rTokens exceeding $1.16 billion from June 2 to July 19 alone. Investor interest remains strongest in technology companies, semiconductor producers, AI developers, and ETFs focused on innovative industries.
