Crypto markets saw a fresh push toward traditional assets this week as new platforms rolled out on-chain stock trading, according to a new CoinMarketCap report .

On-Chain Stocks Gain Momentum

Activity around on-chain stocks, both spot and perpetual, continued to accelerate, underscoring a growing effort to bridge traditional financial markets with digital assets.

A perpetual DEX, Lighter, rolled out stock perpetuals, starting with COIN and HOOD at 10x leverage, followed by TSLA, NVDA, and PLTR later in the week. 

Lighter now has equities perp trading, starting with $COIN and $HOOD , both at 10X leverage.

Both will have an initial 10M OI cap, all liquidations will be handled by XLP, with US trading hours: 9AM – 4:30PM ET (for now). Only isolated margin. Stay tuned for more! pic.twitter.com/UcyStCtTqa

Lighter, a decentralized perpetual-futures exchange built as an Ethereum Layer-2 using zero-knowledge proofs, went public in October 2025 and has already surpassed $1 billion in total value locked (TVL). 

The platform offers self-custodial trading with fast execution and low fees, quickly becoming a credible alternative to centralized derivatives exchanges. Analysts say Lighter’s growth signals a shift from early DeFi experiments to scalable, production-grade infrastructure for perpetual markets.

Binance Wallet Expands On-Chain Stock Access

Meanwhile, Binance Wallet added support for on-chain stocks via Ondo Finance’s real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure, offering fees as low as zero. 

Over 100 U.S. stocks and ETFs are now tradable directly within the wallet, expanding access to U.S. equities beyond traditional geographic and brokerage limits. 

This integration allows anyone with a compatible crypto wallet to gain stock exposure, representing a significant step toward democratizing financial markets.

The Tokenized Equity Market

The broader tokenized equities and RWA market has expanded rapidly in 2025. According to RWA.xyz , the tokenized securities market has more than doubled since August, now approaching $660 million in total value locked (TVL). 

Earlier this year, digital brokerages and crypto exchanges, including Robinhood, Kraken , Bybit, and Gemini, began offering on-chain equity trading, contributing to the sector’s growth.

Rising Concerns Among Traders

Despite the momentum, some traders have raised concerns over high funding rates on stock perpetual platforms. Annualized costs near 10% are substantially higher than what traditional finance investors typically tolerate, prompting caution among market participants.

I think the last thing that is preventing me from trading stocks on HL is the funding. HL funding formula uses a fixed 0.01% interest rate per 8 hours which annualizes to ~11% per year. It is true that it is somewhat the current risk adjusted rate of crypto, but I believe we…

Why This Matters

Perpetual contracts and tokenized equities are bringing traditional stocks on-chain, each in its own way, narrowing the gap between traditional finance and crypto and broadening global access.

People Also Ask:

What are tokenized stocks?

Tokenized stocks are digital representations of traditional shares, issued on a blockchain. Each token mirrors the value of the underlying stock, allowing holders to gain exposure to companies like Apple or Tesla without a traditional brokerage account.

How do tokenized stocks work?

A platform or custodian holds the actual shares, and blockchain tokens representing those shares are issued to investors. Tokens can be traded 24/7 on supported blockchain networks.

Where can I trade tokenized stocks?

They are available on specialized DeFi platforms and some regulated crypto exchanges, often on Ethereum, BNB Chain, or other smart contract blockchains.

Do I receive dividends from tokenized stocks?

It depends on the platform. Some distribute dividends in crypto equivalent to the real stock payout, while others may not.
