Tokenized stocks recorded about $3 billion in decentralized-exchange transactions over seven days, according to figures reported on Nov. 4.
US stocks rallied that day as Republicans lost unified control of Washington, with the S&P 500 up 1.6%, the Dow up about 3% and the Nasdaq up 1.4%.
A modeled $10,000 round trip in tokenized Coinbase shares carried a quote gap near $303 that week, about 3% of the trade.
Testing with $10,000
Fillable’s Nov. 3 to Nov. 9 study of Solana tokenized stocks quoted buys and sells every 15 minutes during regular US hours, using recent IEX trades as the reference price.
It accounted for pool fees and price slippage, and the figures model quote gaps from simulated trades. An S&P 500 ETF token (SPYx) carried a gap of $20.60, or 0.21% of a $10,000 trade.
Tesla’s TSLAx came in at $43.60, Nvidia’s NVDAx at $44.30, and Apple’s AAPLx at $88.80. Coinbase’s COINx reached $303, Robinhood’s HOODx $371, and Palantir’s PLTRx $699.
Modeled $10,000 quote gaps range from $20.60 to $699
Selected Solana stock tokens during regular US hours on Nov. 3-9. Quotes were simulated every 15 minutes against recent IEX trades, pool fees and price impact are included.
CryptoSlateCOINx’s gap is about 14.7 times SPYx’s, and PLTRx’s is about 34 times. COINx carried a median buy premium near 153 basis points and a sale discount near 149.
In an illustration with those medians, $10,000 in USDC buys about $9,849 of exposure at the reference price, and an immediate reversal returns about $9,703.
Fillable measured 22 stocks, and 19 had a midpoint within 0.1% of the underlying share price at a $1,000 trade size.
A midpoint reflects where a token is marked, and a buyer moving through a pool receives a price shaped by available liquidity, the pool’s curve, and the trade size. The study excludes network fees, some token-to-token conversions, and the savings from splitting an order across pools, so it covers less than an all-in wallet-to-wallet cost.
Around-the-clock access and thinner books
Coin Metrics’ Nov. 3 State of the Network found tokenized Nvidia order-book depth within 1% of price down 19% on average when US markets were closed on Bybit and MEXC. On Hyperliquid, order-book depth for the same token fell about 33%.
Tokenized Nvidia prices showed weak correlations of 0.24 and 0.30 with the next US open in the evening and overnight windows, and alignment improved as the open approached.
Fillable’s Nov. 9 index shows a median $17.90 round-trip quote cost across ten major stocks and funds, using each asset’s cheapest pool across four chains.
The median was $22.70 during regular US market hours and $15.80 when US markets were closed. Unlike the venue-specific Nvidia order books, this index selects each asset’s cheapest eligible pool, so the two studies do not measure the same markets.
Brokerages already offer extended-hours trading in eligible securities, so the tokenized edge is wallet access and crypto-native settlement, subject to issuer and jurisdictional limits.
Fillable 10 quotes cost less outside US market hours
Medians for simulated $10,000 round trips across ten fixed stocks and funds, each using its cheapest eligible pool across Solana, Robinhood Chain, Base and BNB Chain on Nov. 9. Fees and price impact are included, network fees excluded.
CryptoSlateWho is trading tokenized stocks
Bitquery’s October study counted $10 billion of tokenized-stock DEX turnover across six issuers and five chains. For Oct. 2–31, 65% of turnover occurred outside regular US hours, and the 100 busiest wallets produced 64% of Coinbase-issued token volume.
About 10% of Robinhood-issued token volume from Oct. 2–31 came from transactions that bought and sold the same token within one transaction, consistent with automated arbitrage, against about 2% for Coinbase-issued tokens.
Adjusting for those round trips cuts Robinhood’s monthly lead over Coinbase from $119 million to about $11 million.
NYSE-backed OKXICE faced objections covering 57 of its 63 planned stock tickers. Meanwhile, Dune data showed a median of $92 in holdings per decentralized equity liquidity pool as of Aug. 31.
Of 5,484 pools, 78 held about 81% of measured assets. The $92 is a pool-holdings median, a gauge of capital concentration and separate from execution quality at any venue.
The SEC has said tokenized securities can carry materially different rights depending on structure, and its September Innovation Exemption sets conditions for limited experiments. A token tracking a stock can differ from the stock in ownership, voting, dividend, and redemption rights.
What tokenized stock trading improvement looks like
If higher volume attracts market makers and more liquidity becomes available for $10,000 orders, quote gaps could narrow across major tokens, including in off-hours sessions.
The measures to watch are the share of $10,000 orders executable within 50 basis points of the underlying stock, depth within 1% of the reference price in and out of regular hours, and wallet concentration.
If activity proves temporary or remains concentrated in arbitrage, liquidity providers could withdraw capital and costs could rise even while the market stays open around the clock. In a trading halt or redemption disruption, a token could carry a theoretical price while holders face exits at unacceptable prices.
A market whose turnover doubles with spreads and depth unchanged has grown busier, and one whose spreads narrow and depth rises has improved the service investors receive.
Execution quality, the cash recovered on a sale, and the rights attached to the token will decide whether 24/7 access is worth its price.
