Onchain Stocks Hit $5.5B In Volume, But Wall Street Hours Still Rule, Report Finds

Tokenized stocks traded onchain have topped $5.5 billion in volume, yet most trading still tracks U.S. market hours, a new Bitget Wallet report found.

BNB Chain Leads

The report drew on Ondo Global Markets data, spanning 2.8 million trades across more than 180,000 wallets through May 2026. BNB Chain (BNB) handled more than 75% of that volume. Ethereum (ETH) users traded in much larger average sizes.

Even with around-the-clock access, roughly 52% of volume still landed during U.S. market hours, against just 0.55% on weekends. Trades under $500 made up nearly 64% of transactions but only 5% of volume, while orders above $50,000 drove 35% from just 0.5% of trades. AI-linked equities led the way, near 35% to 40% of recent volume, with NVIDIA ahead of Micron, Qualcomm, Microsoft and Snowflake.

Kan Eyes Access

"Tokenized equities are not replacing traditional markets, but they are widening access to them," said Alvin Kan, chief operating officer of Bitget Wallet. Tokenized silver and gold also drew broad retail interest.

The report frames market quality, not new listings, as the next test, citing liquidity, retention and pricing outside U.S. hours. Those gaps surface as Ondo scales fast.

The platform crossed $1 billion in value locked within eight months of launch, and president Ian De Bode has projected $3 billion in tokenized stocks by year-end.
