Tokenized stocks are worth nearly $3.3 billion, and most of the trading in them on major blockchains happens when regular US markets are closed. Cointelegraph reported this on Oct 13, 2026, in an article by staff writer Sam Bourgi. The headline names Solana and BNB Chain as the chains involved.
Tokenized stocks are equities issued on a blockchain, so they can trade at any hour. Traditional US stock exchanges trade only during set hours. The report says investors are using that extra access, and it treats round-the-clock trading as an early sign that this may be one of the main advantages of putting equities onchain.
Several details are missing from the material available here. It does not give the exact share of trading outside US hours or a split between Solana and BNB Chain. It also does not say which hours or days see the most activity, or which stocks are traded.
For anyone already holding a perpetual futures position on Bitget, Bybit, MEXC or OKX, nothing changes directly. The report does not mention perpetual futures, funding rates, trading fees or liquidity on any of these four exchanges. Funding and fees on existing positions are not affected by anything this story describes.
