According to a post published by Solana, the number of holders of tokenized stocks of Solana reached a record 1.5 million on October 26, 2026, an increase of five times compared to August. Crypto.news cited Blockworks stating that this statistic measures the number of addresses, not the number of individual investors, and that transaction incentives also contributed to this growth.
Key Points
- Solana reports that the number of tokenized stock holders has reached 1.5 million, a fivefold increase from August 2026.
- According to Crypto.news, an investor may be counted multiple times due to the use of multiple wallets.
- Stock trading based on stablecoins does not generate an equivalent demand for SOL.
Solana The number of tokenized stock holders has reached a new high
Since August 2026, the number of holders has increased by five times. Following that was another milestone in September, when Solana Foundation reported that the number of wallets holding tokenized stocks reached 1 million. The total trading volume in September was approximately $4.4 billion, while the value of outstanding tokenized stocks was $684 million.
Since September, another 500,000 addresses have been added to the holder statistics. Crypto.news cited Blockworks stating that this metric counts addresses holding tokenized stock products, so investors who use multiple wallets may be counted multiple times.
The reward mechanism also contributed to increased participation. Between August 3 and October 11, 2026, the incentive program distributed approximately $31 million in stock tokens to over 360,000 wallets. Nearly four-fifths of the recipients had no prior record of purchasing tokenized stocks.
Stock tokens have expanded the range of investment products available on the network.
Solana Relying on infrastructure designed for fast, low-cost transactions and decentralized applications, it supports tokenized stock products. As the number of its holders grows, traditional securities versions based on blockchain are also being continuously launched on various financial platforms.
According to Securitize, eligible investors can now trade 12 tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana, including Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla, and Microsoft. Securitize indicates that these products are backed by underlying stocks, and transactions are settled in USDC.
Decentralized trading activities are not limited to the direct buying and selling of stocks alone. From September 1 to October 11, 2026, trading pairs that paired meme coins with tokenized stocks recorded a volume of 1.76 billion US dollars, accounting for 31.5% of the total 5.58 billion US dollars in decentralized trading activities for tokenized stocks during that period. StonkFun and Pump allow transactions between meme coins and stock tokens, and these transactions are counted as part of tokenized stock activities.
Tokenization of stocks activities are not the same as the requirements for SOL.
The growth of tokenized stocks Solana does not directly translate into an equivalent increase in demand for SOL. Many platforms allow investors to purchase stock tokens using stablecoins, without the need to buy equivalent native network tokens.
This discrepancy coexists with mixed signals in the broader crypto market. Crypto.news points out that the total number of holders is counted based on addresses that receive or acquire stock tokens, while transaction data includes trades involving meme coin pairs.
SOL is still a necessary token for paying network transaction fees, but usually only a small amount of SOL is required for each transaction. The stock products of Securitize are settled using USDC.
