  • The tokenized ETF market tripled since late 2025, reaching $1.4B TVL with $400M+ in daily onchain settlement volume.
  • Ondo Finance controls roughly 70% of the market with over 200 live assets and more than $1B in total value locked.
  • xStocksFi surpassed $25B in cumulative transactions, powering DeFi collateral and lending for tokenized stocks on Solana.
  • Analysts project $10B+ TVL by end of 2026, with a potential 50–100x rise if assets capture 0.5% of global equity AUM.

The tokenized ETF market has crossed $1.4 billion in total value locked, marking a sharp rise from late 2025. Daily onchain settlement volume across top platforms now exceeds $400 million.

Monthly transaction volume has grown 12 times over the past six months. The sector now accounts for over 18% of all relevant real-world asset flows.

Industry analysts project tens of billions in TVL by year-end as tokenized assets target even a fraction of the $120 trillion global equity market.

Ondo Finance and Key Players Drive Tokenized Equity Growth

Ondo Finance currently holds roughly 70% of the tokenized ETF market. The platform has crossed $1 billion in TVL with over 200 assets live. That dominance places it well ahead of other competing protocols in the space.

Researcher Nick posted on X that the market cap of the sector rose from just $0.62 million on July 1, 2025, to approximately $300 million by the end of Q1 2026.

That figure reflects a broad shift in how institutions and retail users are accessing equity exposure. The growth has been steady rather than driven by a single asset class.

Dinari Global operates as the first broker-dealer licensed for dShares, targeting domestic retail and platform flows.

WisdomTree Prime offers 24/7 trading and instant settlement for its tokenized Treasury and ETF products. Both firms bring regulated infrastructure to a market that has historically operated in a gray area.

Robinhood has also entered the space, offering stock tokens covering over 2,000 U.S. stocks and ETFs for European users.

All tokens are backed by Robinhood custody, which adds a layer of security and compliance. That move brings a mainstream brokerage into direct contact with onchain settlement rails.

xStocksFi Powers the DeFi Layer for Tokenized Assets on Solana

xStocksFi has recorded over $25 billion in cumulative transaction volume on its platform. The protocol issues more than 100 one-to-one backed tokens with full DeFi collateral and lending options on Solana. That positions it as a core liquidity layer for tokenized stocks in decentralized finance.

The platform’s role goes beyond simple token issuance. By supporting lending and collateral use cases, xStocksFi allows tokenized equities to function as productive assets within DeFi ecosystems. That functionality has drawn both retail and institutional participants to the Solana network.

Current projections place the sector at $10 billion or more in TVL by the end of 2026. That would represent a sevenfold increase in roughly seven months from the current $1.4 billion figure.

Over a three-to-four year horizon, capturing just 0.5% of global equity and ETF assets under management could push the market 50 to 100 times higher.

The payments, real-world asset, and institutional settlement use cases are all expanding alongside tokenized equities.

The convergence of regulated issuers, DeFi liquidity, and mainstream custodians appears to be accelerating the adoption curve faster than prior cycles in crypto.
