+5.2%IMF finds tokenized stocks 1.5 times more volatile than traditional shares
Image: Crypto.newsThe International Monetary Fund published research finding tokenized stocks are approximately 1.5 times more volatile than traditional shares. Over half of tokenized equity trading occurs outside regular US market hours. 80% of tokenized equity trades involve quantities smaller than one conventional share. The public tokenized real-world asset market reached roughly $65 billion as of July 2026, with tokenized equities accounting for $2.3 billion of that total. Ondo Finance and Backed Finance hold more than 70% of the tokenized stock market value.
