Summary
$10 billion in market value marks a 10-fold jump for tokenized real-world assets from under $1 billion in early 2024, with weekly trading averaging $735 million in 2026.
Binance Research said the growth is being driven by access needs in emerging markets, which account for about 80% of tokenized stock trading on its platform by avoiding 3.6% offramp fees and roughly $40 in transfer costs.
93% of bStock trades were fractional—less than one share—with a median size of $18.81 versus an average tokenized share price near $680, pointing to small-ticket participation rather than speculation.
A 65.5-hour weekend trading window in SPCXB matched a +6.5% move in the underlying stock by Monday's open, with prices converging within 9 basis points, which Binance said shows on-chain markets can discover prices outside exchange hours.
Less than 0.01% of its addressable market is currently penetrated, and Binance models the sector growing to $203 billion under modest adoption or as much as $6.78 trillion at 4% penetration.
