Tokenized stock spot trading volume hit $15.12 billion in Q1 2026, eclipsing the $14.84 billion recorded across all of H2 2025, according to CoinGecko data.
Why it matters
The broader tokenized RWA market grew 256.7% in 15 months, expanding from $5.42 billion at the start of 2025 to $19.32 billion by the end of Q1 2026. Tokenized gold spot volume reached $90.7 billion in Q1 alone — already past its full-year 2025 total — while RWA perpetuals notched $524.79 billion in quarterly volume, well above the $313.02 billion booked across all of 2025. The acceleration across three distinct asset classes simultaneously is the signal: this is no longer a single-vertical story.
Market impact
Equities, gold, and perps each clearing prior-period highs in the same quarter compresses the bear-case timeline on RWA adoption. The composition matters as much as the totals — tokenized stocks pulling in real equity-style volume onchain, and gold inheriting a $90B+ run-rate, point to infrastructure that's now reliable enough for flows that previously defaulted to TradFi venues.
