Key Takeaways
- Tokenized asset holders surpassed 3.5 million, rising 109% in 30 days and roughly 2,500% since May 2025.
- Represented asset value reached nearly $387 billion, although only about $39.15 billion was distributed across public blockchains.
- Robinhood and other major platforms are accelerating adoption by offering tokenized stocks and ETFs to mainstream investors.
The number of tokenized asset holders has exceeded 3.5 million for the first time, marking a major milestone for the rapidly expanding real-world asset market.
The total reached 3,577,252 after rising almost 109% over the previous 30 days, according to figures shared by The Kobeissi Letter and attributed to RWA.xyz. The count has increased by approximately 2,500% since May 2025.
Meanwhile, the represented value of tokenized assets climbed to $386.92 billion, up 3.63% over 30 days. Distributed asset value, which measures assets deployed across public blockchain networks, reached approximately $39.15 billion after increasing by 1.54%.
The figures suggest that adoption is accelerating as major financial platforms introduce tokenized stocks, funds, and other conventional assets to larger audiences. However, holder figures generally represent blockchain addresses rather than necessarily identifying an equal number of individual investors.
Tokenized Stocks Drive Rapid Expansion
Tokenized equities have become one of the most visible areas of growth, with platforms offering blockchain-based exposure to thousands of publicly traded companies.
These products allow investors to gain economic exposure to traditional shares while using blockchain infrastructure for issuance, settlement, and trading.
Government securities, money market funds, private credit, and commodities such as gold have also emerged as important parts of the market.
Stablecoins remain the largest category by value under broader definitions of tokenized assets. The rapid expansion of tokenized securities, however, shows how the technology is moving beyond blockchain-native currencies.
The difference between represented and distributed value remains important. Represented asset value can include the total value associated with assets brought into a tokenization framework, while distributed value reflects the portion circulating directly on public blockchains.
Consequently, the headline $387 billion figure does not mean that the entire amount is freely traded onchain.
Robinhood Brings Tokenization to a Wider Audience
The arrival of large financial platforms has helped push tokenized assets beyond their earlier institutional and crypto-focused niche.
Robinhood has expanded its range of tokenized products, offering eligible customers exposure to hundreds of stocks and exchange-traded funds.
Its scale gives tokenization access to an established base of retail investors who may not previously have interacted with dedicated onchain platforms.
The company’s entry also adds credibility to a market that was once dominated by smaller blockchain firms.
Other institutions are exploring tokenized money market funds, bonds, and private-market assets, creating additional connections between conventional finance and public networks.
Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and the XRP Ledger are among the networks competing to support this activity. Each offers different trade-offs in terms of transaction costs, liquidity, regulatory controls, and settlement speed.
Trading Moves Beyond Traditional Market Hours
Tokenization is also changing when financial assets can be traded.
Approximately 63% of tokenized asset volume on platforms such as Jupiter reportedly occurs outside conventional market hours. That activity reflects demand from traders seeking access during evenings, weekends, and holidays, when traditional stock exchanges are closed.
Continuous markets can also serve investors across different time zones, allowing them to react to news without waiting for an exchange to reopen.
Nevertheless, round-the-clock trading introduces challenges. Liquidity may thin outside regular hours, and token prices can diverge from their underlying assets when the primary market is closed.
Even with those limitations, the latest holder and valuation figures point to a significant structural shift. Tokenization is increasingly becoming a part of financial infrastructure rather than remaining a small blockchain experiment.
