Tronweekly.com reports that BNB Chain has become the first blockchain to surpass $1 billion in tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds. Token Terminal data indicates the network now holds approximately $1.1 billion, representing roughly 30% of the $3.7 billion total sector. This places BNB Chain ahead of Ethereum, which holds about $827.5 million, and Solana, with around $738.4 million.
The growth is driven by products such as Ondo Global Markets and Binance’s bStocks and xStocks. By June, the ecosystem hosted more than 709 tokenized stocks and ETFs with cumulative volume exceeding $5 billion. Binance Research noted that BNB Chain held about 34% of the market by mid-September with 1.8 million holders.
Tokenized stock transfers surged to over $100 billion in the third quarter, up from $6 billion in the first quarter. Additionally, the share of value deployed in DeFi rose from 1.8% to 6.3% during 2026. This milestone arrives as the SEC granted temporary exemptive relief for trading tokenized NMS stocks on September 17. Despite this ecosystem expansion, BNB’s price remained stable, trading around $770 on October 2.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for BNB, measured when this story was written up on 3 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio’s spot data shows BNB trading at $768.25 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 60.9% and a 4-hour ratio of 61.5%. These short-term figures indicate strong buying pressure, contrasting with a 24-hour buy ratio of 49.1% which suggests the immediate momentum has cooled. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$235,247, while the 4-hour delta is +$1,736,010, showing net accumulation in the short term. However, the 24-hour volume delta is -$1,925,930, indicating that over the full day, sellers have outweighed buyers. The Cumulative Volume Delta for the 24-hour close matches this negative figure, confirming a net outflow of buying pressure over the longer timeframe. This mix of short-term buying and daily selling shows a shift in sentiment within the trading window.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.4% sits at the 18th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
