Nearly 1 in 5 tokens listed on CEXs in H1 2026 was a tokenized asset. By contrast, in 2025, less than 7% of listings were tokenized assets.

The surge was driven primarily by tokenized stocks from issuers such as xStocks, bStocks, and Ondo.

🔍 It marks a clear shift away from the meme-driven listings of the previous cycle, with exchanges increasingly adding tokenized versions of traditional financial assets.
