Tokenized real-world assets reached $34.5 billion in value in August 2026, up more than 140% from a year earlier but trading activity is increasingly showing that on-chain markets do not necessarily behave like the traditional assets they represent, according to data analytics firm, Dune. Dune’s report found that cash equivalents accounted for nearly $18 billion of the market making them the largest tokenized asset class although most of the assets remain inactive. Equities, meanwhile, represented only about 8% of the market but generated 93% of on-chain trading activity. The divergence was particularly evident in tokenized equities.
