BNB Chain becomes first chain to pass $1 billion in tokenized stocks and ETFs

Tokenized stocks and ETFs on BNB Chain hit $1.1 billion, about 30% of a $3.7 billion global market, making BNB Chain the first chain above $1 billion.

Reported by a single independent source, or too young to be confirmed.

Why it matters

Cointelegraph's Token Terminal figures put BNB Chain's share of tokenized equities at 13% in January and about 30% now, so the chain more than doubled its weight in under a year while Ethereum and Solana also grew in absolute terms. Both the $1.1 billion total and the chain ranking come from one data provider and were repeated rather than independently confirmed, so the size of BNB Chain's lead rests on a single dataset.

Cointelegraph cites two different totals from Token Terminal in the same article, $3.35 billion for September and $3.7 billion for the market at publication, and Crypto News uses the $3.7 billion figure.

Key facts

Ethereum ranked second with $828 million of tokenized stocks and ETFs, a 22% share.

What happened

Cointelegraph reported that tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds on BNB Chain reached $1.1 billion, roughly 30% of a $3.7 billion global market, and that BNB Chain became the first blockchain to cross the $1 billion mark. Crypto News carried the same $1.1 billion figure and the same 30% share three days later, citing Token Terminal data. Both outlets put Ethereum second at $828 million and 22% and Solana third at $738 million and 20%. Cointelegraph cited a Binance Research report saying 1.8 million addresses held tokenized stocks on BNB Chain, 45% of the total, and Token Terminal data showing the sector grew more than fivefold from $719 million in January, when Ethereum held about 48%, Solana 31% and BNB Chain 13%. Cointelegraph also reported a rise of roughly 17% to $3.35 billion in September from $2.87 billion in August, a total that does not line up with the $3.7 billion the same article cites. Separately, Crypto News relayed a Token Terminal commentator's claim that Tether's XAUT gold token reached 79,300 holders on BNB Chain, nearly 29 times its level three months earlier; no other outlet in this set confirms that figure.
