On-chain stocks surge to $3.8 billion: Trading continues even after US stock market closes (When will the RWA boom drive a crypto bull market?) The circulating value of on-chain tokenized stocks has surpassed $3.8 billion, breaking records for 10 consecutive weeks and growing by 590% year-to-date. Over 70% of tokenized stock trading on the BNB Chain occurs outside of traditional US trading hours, compared to approximately 63% on Solana (where Jupiter is located) and nearly 60% on Base. Now, discerning US stock traders are clearly not satisfied with a five-day-a-week, few-hour trading window; they want 24/7 access to the global financial markets. In January, the NYSE announced the development of a tokenized securities trading platform, planning to support 24/7 trading of US stocks and ETFs, stablecoin deposits, and instant settlement. On October 29th, ICE, the parent company of the NYSE, announced a partnership with Trade[XYZ] to introduce perpetual contracts for stocks, indices, commodities, forex, and cryptocurrencies based on Hyperliquid to the regulated US market. Traditional exchanges are actively embracing the trading models created by the crypto market.
