Tokenized stock transfer volume climbed 415% over a 30-day period to reach $29.5 billion in August 2026, according to data from RWA.xyz cited by BitKE. The jump points to a marked pickup in on-chain activity tied to tokenized equities.
The rise in volume was matched by growth in participation. Monthly active addresses increased 209% to roughly 1.3 million, while the number of tokenized-stock holders rose 167% to 2.36 million.
However, the value underpinning these assets grew far more slowly. The total value of tokenized stocks distributed on-chain increased just 1.45% over the month to $2.54 billion. That figure is up around 637% from $344 million a year earlier, when it stood at that level.
