The tokenized equities market has reached a valuation of $963.04 million as of January 2026, marking a staggering 2,878% year-over-year increase from $32 million in January 2025. This growth, while still overshadowed by the $9.3 billion tokenized treasury market, is nearly 30 times faster, driven by recent regulatory advancements and the development of institutional infrastructure. Ondo Global Markets, launched in September 2025, has quickly become the largest platform for tokenized stocks, achieving $350 million in TVL by late October. The platform offers over 200 tokenized U.S. equities and ETFs, with plans to expand to more than 1,000 assets. Meanwhile, xStocks, operated by Backed Finance and acquired by Kraken, has seen its AUM grow ninefold to $186 million within five months, processing over $10 billion in transaction volume. Regulatory clarity in December 2025 has accelerated institutional entry, with Ondo Finance receiving approval to offer tokenized U.S. stocks across the EEA. The SEC's closure of its investigation into Ondo without charges further removes regulatory barriers. As institutional infrastructure matures, the tokenized equities market is poised for significant growth, potentially reaching a $150+ billion market by 2030, paralleling the trajectory of stablecoins.
