Tokenized Stock Trading Surges Outside US Market Hours
- Over 70% of tokenized stock trading on BNB Chain occurs outside traditional US market hours.
- 63% of trading volume for tokenized stocks is reported on Solana, while nearly 60% takes place on Base.
- Jupiter, a Solana-based platform, saw a month-over-month increase of 50% in tokenized asset trading volume.
- The total value of tokenized stocks has risen by 15% in the last month to approximately $3.3 billion.
- The SEC introduced an “innovation exemption” allowing venues to trade tokenized US-listed stocks on public blockchains.
This shift towards around-the-clock trading indicates that investors are utilizing tokenized stocks during off-hours rather than mirroring traditional market activity. The growth aligns with regulatory changes from the SEC aimed at integrating tokenized equities into mainstream finance.
With over $3.3 billion in total value for tokenized stocks and significant after-hours trading activity, the landscape for equity trading is evolving rapidly.(Source)
