Binance Leads Tokenized Stock Market With $1.4 Billion in Assets

The rapid growth of the bStocks portfolio, which includes listed securities and exchange-traded funds, reflects a broader shift toward onchain asset exposure. While Binance leads by total outstanding value, industry analysis by Bitquery highlights a distinction between assets held in custody and those circulating independently. When excluding tokens stored in Binance’s internal exchange wallets, Ondo takes the lead with $848 million in circulating value, illustrating that a significant portion of Binance's reported assets remains within its own custodial ecosystem.

Functionally, bStocks operate as BEP-20 securities issued by BTECH Holdings in the Abu Dhabi Global Market. These tokens offer 1:1 price tracking of underlying shares, though they diverge from traditional equity ownership by withholding voting rights and reinvesting dividends through a multiplier mechanism. While Robinhood and Coinbase trail in outstanding token volume, they dominate decentralized trading activity, recording a combined $5.1 billion in swaps during October. This contrast highlights a bifurcated market: Binance serves as a primary repository for long-term tokenized holdings, while competitors see higher velocity in decentralized trading environments.
