Tokenized AssetsArticle

Which traditional assets have been tokenized? A comprehensive overview of the on-chain stock world.

"What traditional assets are already on-chain?" — This is the first question that every researcher entering this field must answer, but the complete answer is not found in the popular rankings: beyond the leading assets, there are also a large number of long-tail assets covering sectors such as technology, finance, consumption, and healthcare. Clarifying the asset universe provides a reliable sample framework for all subsequent research.

What is the market size of tokenized assets? How to distinguish between different metrics?

The opening question of the RWA industry report is "How big is this market?" However, the market size of tokenized assets is precisely the figure that is most prone to inconsistent definitions: issuance volume, TVL, AUM, and transaction volume each answer different questions. Mixing or solely using any one of these can lead to distorted conclusions. This article breaks down several commonly used metrics for easier reference according to research questions.

Which exchanges have issued this stock token asset? Where is it custodied? How can I check?

The on-chain tokens of the same stock often have more than one version—versions issued by exchanges and those by professional issuers, each running on different chains with different custody arrangements. Whether researching this asset, understanding its structural information, or simply wanting to find out "who is behind this version," the first step is the same: to find out its issuer and custody information.

Which tokenized sectors are heating up? The ratio of rising to falling tokens is more honest than the rise of a single token.

"The tokenization of AI concept assets and the return of funds" — the value of such trend judgments is far greater than the movements of a single underlying asset, but it requires evidence at the sector level. How can we prove that a sector is heating up? A significant rise in a leading token is not enough; the proportion of rising assets within the sector is a more honest metric. The asset label map of the tokenized asset dashboard, which categorizes asset quantity and price fluctuation distribution across more than 20 sectors such as growth stocks, large-cap stocks, AI, and semiconductors, serves as a tool for making this judgment.

How can I find data to check the latest trading status of a tokenized asset on various exchanges?

When analyzing a single asset (for example, "a certain tech stock token's unusual movement this week"), the most important questions to answer are: how is it trading across various exchanges, and what price changes have occurred? The same tokenized asset may be traded simultaneously on multiple exchanges, each with different prices, depths, and fees—obtaining a complete cross-market picture requires a complete data chain, not just a single market number. The details page of the tokenized asset dashboard breaks this data chain into five modules, which can be traversed in a fixed order to complete the evidence collection.

When quoting the price of tokenized assets to institutional clients, how should the data source be selected?

The requirements for institutional pricing and proprietary trading data are completely different: if proprietary trading incurs losses, it's their own issue, but if the pricing is wrong, they have to face inquiries from clients. When providing reference prices for tokenized assets to institutional clients, the core standard is not "how comprehensive the data is," but rather "can it be explained"—when clients ask "where does this price come from, and why is it different from elsewhere," they must be able to answer with fields, timestamps, and sources. This article provides a checklist for data source verification in institutional pricing scenarios.

There are several tokenized versions of the same stock. How can we quantify the gap between us and our competitors?

Tokenized stocks represent a rare "same underlying, multiple issuers" market—there may be three or four on-chain versions of the same stock. Issuers can conduct comparative analysis between versions without complex models: by placing the core public data of each version side by side, they can observe differences from five dimensions: scale, activity, price, structure, and trend.

Integrating tokenized asset data into the pricing engine: What can the API access, and how to integrate it?

Market makers do not manually monitor the market—market data, depth, and fees must be integrated into the system, to be automatically processed by the pricing engine. The key questions before integration are: Can the data be programmatically obtained? Are the fields sufficient for pricing? Are the latency and quotas acceptable? This article outlines the API integration path for tokenized asset sector data based on the actual needs of the market-making system. (Specific interface fields, quotas, and pricing are subject to the API documentation published on the day of release.)

How to integrate tokenized asset market data into your product page?

When the issuer creates product pages (official asset pages, App market sections, documentation sites), market data is a continuous engineering investment: collecting data from multiple exchanges, cleaning and aligning it, and maintaining it over the long term can be costly for small teams. APIs are one of the common solutions—integrating the capabilities of professional data platforms into the product, allowing the team to focus on the product itself. This article outlines the questions that need to be addressed when integrating from the issuer's product scenario. (Specific interfaces, fields, and quotas are subject to the API documentation on the day of release.)

How to compare the costs and liquidity of the same tokenized asset across different trading venues?

You have already selected a popular tokenized asset, and the next step is to face the multiple-choice question of which exchange to choose. How significant are the differences in costs and liquidity conditions across different venues? The details page of the tokenized asset dashboard displays the data from various exchanges for the same asset side by side—price differences, depth, and fees—serving as an entry point to understand these differences. The uniqueness of popular assets lies in the fact that the differences in conditions across venues are often much greater than those for less popular assets, making the need for comparison even more critical.

Which tokenized asset sector and tokenized assets are the most popular?

Open the market list; where should you start with hundreds of tokenized assets? The answer is not to start with the top of the gainers list, but to first understand two charts: where the sectors are heading and who is paying attention to the assets. The asset label map on the tokenized asset dashboard shows you which sectors capital is flowing into, while the popular TradFi rankings and view rankings tell you which assets are the most关注——first sectors, then assets, which can serve as a research path for observing hotspot distribution.

How much do you have to pay to hold a position overnight? How to calculate and view the funding rate for stock derivative contracts?

When trading stock derivative contracts, most people only focus on the opening price, leverage, and transaction fees, while neglecting the third cost: the funding rate. It is a fee that is periodically paid between long and short positions, with the specific settlement period and rate level determined by the rules of each exchange—when your position is opposite to the market direction, you have to pay the counterparty, and when your position is in the same direction, the counterparty pays you. In a one-sided market, this fee can significantly increase. This article clarifies the mechanism of the funding rate, how to read it, and its relationship with the position direction.
