On centralized exchanges (CEX) and DEX, the cumulative trading volume for xStocks has exceeded $17 billion, with over 57,000 holders participating in this growing market. These figures show a changing landscape in which blockchain connects global investors to familiar assets in new ways.
What xStocks Growth Tells Us
The scale xStocks has achieved so soon after its launch speaks volumes about the demand. The volume of on-chain transfers – the total value of token movements recorded on a blockchain – exceeding $3 billion means that investors are not just holding these tokens; they actively move and exchange them. With over $500 million of this activity on DEXs, this shows a real appetite for permissionless trading. Permissionless means that anyone with a compatible wallet can transact without needing approval from a central authority.
A real-world example helps support this idea: tokens like TSLAx, which represent Tesla shares, allow investors from countries with limited access to traditional brokerage to hold and trade exposure to global stocks. This extends potential participation beyond the limited hours and geographic restrictions of traditional markets. This also reflects broader trends seen in markets where tokenized versions of stocks and ETFs are increasingly accessible through crypto platforms.
Data from 2025 shows that tokenized stocks are gaining traction not just on one blockchain but across ecosystems, with integrations across multiple networks and platforms catering to different investor needs. These tokenized assets often serve as on-chain collateral in decentralized finance applications, or trade alongside native crypto assets, creating hybrid investment strategies that bridge old and new financial systems.
