DefiLlama and CryptoRank data show June RWA perpetual volume topped $100 billion as listed markets exceeded 600, while Solana tokenized stock trading on Raydium also accelerated in Q2.
RWA perpetuals, crypto derivatives tied to real-world assets, expanded sharply in 2026, growing from about 1% of total crypto perpetual trading volume at the start of the year to more than 33% by June, according to CryptoRank. DefiLlama data shows monthly RWA perpetual trading surpassed $100 billion in June, with the older report specifying volume exceeded $120 billion and average daily volume stayed above $6 billion; the segment's listed markets grew from 29 at the start of 2026 to more than 600 by month-end. Hyperliquid led 30-day RWA perp volume with more than $210 billion, followed by Aster at roughly $51 billion and Lighter at about $41 billion, while stock-linked products held the largest open interest and Gate ranked second by open interest at about $340 million in June. Separately, Raydium said xStocks volume on its Solana-based platform reached about $1.63 billion in Q2 2026 versus $1.3 million in Q2 2025, though that year-earlier comparison reflects only xStocks' June 30, 2025 launch day. Analyst Sam Schubert reported Solana processed $5.77 billion in tokenized asset spot volume in Q2 2026, with June alone contributing more than $2 billion.
