In Q2 2026, Solana's decentralized exchanges recorded $5.8 billion in tokenized stock trading volume, a 114% increase from the previous quarter and a new record. This surge is driven mainly by Backed Finance's xStocks, which offers tokenized US equities backed 1:1 by actual shares. Solana captured about 95% to 97% of global tokenized equity DEX volume, with Raydium as the leading trading platform.
