Solana has become the number one blockchain by market capitalization of tokenized stocks, according to the data shown in the chart.
The move places Solana ahead of Ethereum and other major networks competing in on-chain equity issuance.
What the Chart Shows
The chart tracks the market cap of tokenized stocks by blockchain from mid-2025 into early January 2026. Solana’s line accelerates sharply in recent weeks, surging to roughly $800 million, while Ethereum levels off near the $450–$500 million range.
Other chains, such as BNB Chain, Arbitrum One, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, Gnosis, Sonic, and Blast, remain far lower and relatively flat.
Why Solana Pulled Ahead
Based strictly on the visual data, Solana’s lead appears driven by a late-2025 breakout that continued into January. The steep slope suggests rapid onboarding of tokenized equity products or expansions of existing issuances on Solana, rather than gradual organic growth. Ethereum, by contrast, shows an earlier jump around September 2025 followed by consolidation.
Why This Matters
Tokenized stocks are a key pillar of real-world asset (RWA) adoption. Becoming the top chain by market cap signals that Solana is emerging as the preferred settlement layer for on-chain equities, at least for now. If this trend holds, it could influence where future issuers, brokers, and platforms choose to deploy new tokenized stock offerings.
The chart makes one point clear: the competition for tokenized equities is no longer theoretical, and Solana is currently winning it.
