【Crypto World】Recently, an industry report mentioned that the landscape of general-purpose exchanges is undergoing changes. The trend of tokenized stocks is surprisingly popular—by the end of last year, the total trading volume had reached $18 billion. Even more interesting is that institutional investors are becoming the main force in this sector, accounting for 82% of spot trading volume. What does this indicate? Traditional financial institutions are beginning to take digital asset trading infrastructure seriously.

Looking closely at the trading varieties, Tesla dominates with a trading volume of over $6.3 billion, followed by other major US stocks. This is not just an expansion of trading options but also reflects a deeper change: the trading infrastructure for digital assets and traditional assets is moving toward integration. Tokenized stocks have shifted from experimental projects to becoming one of the core businesses of exchanges.

The underlying logic is quite clear—24-hour trading, lower settlement costs, and stronger liquidity—these advantages are genuinely attractive to institutional investors. As more traditional assets are tokenized, we may be witnessing a structural overhaul of trading infrastructure.

Institutions are really quietly making moves; 82% is quite a concept... Now traditional financial players can't sit still anymore.

Institutions are really entering this round; $18 billion is no joke. Traditional finance is finally taking it seriously, just waiting for a big breakout. Led by Tesla, tokenized stocks are taking off. 82% institutional share; retail investors need to keep up with the pace. The integration trend has indeed arrived. What to do if you miss this wave?
