Tokenized Stocks Reach $3.8 Billion Market Cap as OpenWorld Debuts on Nasdaq

The tokenized stocks market has achieved a significant milestone, reaching a combined market cap of $3.8 billion, marking the highest figure recorded in this sector. This growth is attributed to leading blockchains such as BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana.

Tokenized stocks are blockchain tokens that represent real shares of companies, enabling around-the-clock trading and fractional ownership. The market has seen a steep increase, surpassing $3 billion for the first time in early September 2026. BNB Chain has emerged as the frontrunner, accounting for approximately 30% to 34% of the market share, while Ethereum and Solana follow with shares of 22% to 25% and 20% to 23%, respectively.

Key players in this space include Ondo Finance, which has assets exceeding $900 million, and Binance’s bStocks. Securitize’s SECZ product has also made waves, attracting over $430 million since July. The number of holder addresses has surged to around 4.1 million, reflecting a 60% increase in just 30 days.

In a related development, OpenWorld has completed its merger with VerifyMe and commenced trading on Nasdaq under the ticker OPNW as of October 1. The company aims to focus on institutional-grade tokenization of real-world assets, positioning itself within the rapidly evolving market where traditional securities and blockchain technologies converge.

OpenWorld plans to pursue a dual listing on Figure OPEN, a blockchain-based trading platform, by November 2026. As the tokenization sector continues to grow, regulatory clarity from agencies like the SEC could further facilitate the integration of tokenized assets into mainstream finance.
