Tokenized assets don’t always mirror traditional markets, Dune finds
Dune found that tokenized markets show different trading patterns from traditional markets, with RWA value reaching $34.5 billion.
Tokenized markets show different trading and investment patterns from traditional markets, according to a new Dune report comparing onchain and off-chain activity across equities, credit, commodities and cash-equivalent products.
Dune found the difference pronounced in equities, where single stocks accounted for 81% of tokenized equity spot supply while exchange-traded funds (ETFs) made up 19%.
Armand Khatri, head of ecosystem at Ondo Finance, said tokenization gives investors more control over asset selection by reducing their dependence on local intermediaries’ offerings.
“The investor decides which they want,” he said, referring to the choice between single-company and index exposure.
Dune put the value of tokenized real-world assets at $34.5 billion as of Aug. 31, up more than 140% from a year earlier, with cash equivalents still dominating supply while equities were the most actively traded segment.
