Tokenized equity perps power RWA trading surge to $470B monthly

Reported · Written up by our desk · Market Structure

Tokenized-equity perpetual futures are driving a trading boom in real-world assets, with monthly volume reaching $470 billion, according to data cited by The Block.

The outlet says tokenized equities are outperforming tokenized commodities within the wider RWA category, making them the more popular asset class for traders.

The Block attributes the scale of activity to growing demand for tokenized equity derivatives as part of the broader RWA market.
