Solana tokenized equities hit 1.5 million holders, per Solana; Crypto.news counts addresses, not unique investors

Solana’s tokenized equities reached a record 1.5 million holders on October 26, 2026, a fivefold increase since August, according to a post from Solana. Crypto.news, citing Blockworks, says the count measures addresses rather than distinct investors, and trading incentives have contributed to the rise.

Key takeaways

• Solana reports 1.5 million tokenized equity holders, a fivefold increase since August 2026.
• According to Crypto.news, one investor can appear in the count through multiple wallets.
• Stablecoin-based stock trading does not create equivalent demand for SOL.

Solana’s tokenized equities reach a record holder count

The fivefold increase since August 2026 follows another milestone in September, when the Solana Foundation reported 1 million wallets holding tokenized stocks. September trading volume totaled roughly $4.4 billion, while outstanding tokenized equities were valued at $684 million.

Another 500,000 addresses have joined the holder count since September. According to Crypto.news, citing Blockworks, the metric counts addresses containing tokenized equity products, so an investor using several wallets can appear more than once.

Rewards also contributed to participation. Between August 3 and October 11, 2026, incentive programs distributed approximately $31 million in stock tokens across more than 360,000 wallets. Nearly four out of five recipients had no prior record of buying a tokenized stock.

Stock tokens expand the network’s investment offerings

Solana supports tokenized stock products through infrastructure designed for fast, low-cost transactions and decentralized applications. Its growing holder count accompanies the introduction of blockchain-based versions of traditional securities across financial platforms.

According to Securitize, qualifying investors can now trade 12 tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana, a list that includes Apple, Nvidia, Tesla and Microsoft. Securitize says underlying shares back the products and transactions settle in USDC.

Decentralized trading activity includes more than straightforward stock purchases. Between September 1 and October 11, 2026, trading pairs combining memecoins with tokenized stocks racked up $1.76 billion in volume, accounting for 31.5% of the $5.58 billion total recorded in tokenized equity decentralized exchange activity over that span. StonkFun and Pump allowed memecoins to trade against stock tokens, with those transactions counted as tokenized equity activity.

Tokenized stock activity and SOL demand differ

Growth in Solana’s tokenized equities does not translate directly into an equal increase in demand for SOL. Many platforms let investors purchase stock tokens with stablecoins rather than buying an equivalent amount of the network’s native token.

That distinction sits alongside mixed signals in the broader crypto market. According to Crypto.news, the holder total captures addresses receiving or acquiring stock tokens, while the trading figures include memecoin pairs.

SOL remains necessary to pay network transaction fees, but each transaction generally requires only a small amount. Securitize’s stock offerings accept USDC for settlement.
