BLOCKINSIDERLoadingSpaceX and Nvidia reshuffled the tokenized stock leaderboard as bStocks expanded and SOXLB posted a striking weekly rally.
Nvidia and SpaceX tokens reshaped the tokenized stock rankings this week. The shift came as hotter inflation and an Nvidia leadership shake-up dampened crypto and macro markets.
On the platform side, bStocks added $100 million, while xStocks climbed from $628 million to $691 million. The moves hint at where tokenized equity demand is concentrating as traditional markets wobble.
The past week was underwhelming for RWAs, crypto and macro financial markets alike. Hotter inflation data and the Nvidia debacle weighed on risk appetite across asset classes. Even so, platform rankings held steady, with bStocks still leading the pack. That suggests tokenized stock activity is consolidating on a few venues.
bStocks posted $100 million in growth, lifting its tokenized stocks value to $1.5 billion. That is roughly 1.6 times the $915.4 million held on second-ranked Ondo. Ondo remained virtually unchanged over the same period.
xStocks, however, picked up volume as its tokenized stocks value rose from $628 million to $691 million. That marks a gain of about 10% in seven days.
It keeps xStocks in third place, well ahead of Securitize at $277.2 million.
Reality, Robinhood and Figure followed with $169.3 million, $146.7 million and $61.1 million, respectively. Smaller platforms still hold only niche shares.
The underlying stocks had a more interesting week, with major changes at the top of the leaderboard. SpaceX took the top spot after weeks of slow growth. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. outperformed Circle, the reigning champion, as its value rose to $314.6 million.
Circle trails with $288.7 million, a gap of $25.9 million. The top three are separated by less than $26 million.
Nvidia was the other highlight, entering the top 10 and immediately rising to the second spot. The catalyst was the former Nvidia CEO's resignation amid controversy over his personal affairs. Nvidia reached a value of $305.4 million, just $9.2 million behind SpaceX. It shows tokenized stocks can attract flows quickly when headlines break.
Securitize Corp. follows in fourth with $226.1 million, ahead of Alphabet Class A at $204.6 million. The Invesco QQQ Trust at $201.1 million and Strategy Class A at $200.5 million come next.
SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust follows at $156.8 million, ahead of Tesla at $115.9 million. Micron Technology completes the top 10 at $107.6 million.
Four names sit between $200 million and $227 million, so another reshuffle looks possible next week.
The highlight RWA token of the week was Semicon Bull 3X ETF (bStocks Tokenized ETF) (SOXLB). It ended as the best-performing asset, rising by nearly 60% in the last seven days. SOXLB tracks a leveraged semiconductor ETF, so price swings are amplified in both directions.
The underlying SOXL perpetual contract on Bybit shows a similar rebound, gaining 59.40% from its early-November low. Price now trades near $65, hovering around the 0.5 Fibonacci level at $63.23. Reclaiming the 0.382 level at $74.05 would be the next test, while a dip could expose $52.40.
The bStocks Tokenized ETF token's rally is not surprising, considering the asset holders on BNB Chain. They dwarf other chains by a mile, and rose from 2.01 million users to 2.06 million within a week. That 50,000 gain is modest, yet it extends an uptrend visible since July. Across all networks, total holders are nearing 4.8 million, with Robinhood Chain and Solana trailing well behind.
Investors should note that the EMA at $117.54 still sits far above current prices. Whether SOXLB sustains this momentum may depend on macro conditions stabilizing in the coming sessions.
