6-8-2025 – Tokenized stock market capitalization jumped 220% in July to $53.6 million, excluding Exodus Movement’s $260 million issuance through Securitize, as digital equities experience growth patterns reminiscent of DeFi’s early expansion phase.
The surge reflects broader momentum in real-world asset tokenization, with the overall RWA market surpassing $25 billion in 2025 and posting year-to-date gains of 260%. Tokenized equities represent the fastest-growing segment within this category, benefiting from institutional adoption and improved regulatory clarity around digital asset frameworks.
The growth mirrors DeFi’s explosive early development, when novel financial products saw exponential adoption as investors recognized new opportunities for yield generation and portfolio diversification. Current tokenization trends suggest traditional finance integration is accelerating, with platforms enabling fractional ownership and cross-border trading of previously illiquid assets.
