How many stocks are on chain?

1,006 stocks, 3,773 listings, five issuers, five chains, in this site's registry as of 12 September 2026. The four numbers count different things, and only one of them answers the question.

1,006 stocks. That is the answer to the question most people are asking.

Three other numbers describe the same catalogue. All four are correct, and they count different things.

The four counts in the registry, as of 12 Sep 2026

1,006 stocks. Distinct companies and funds with at least one token tracking their share price.

3,773 listings. Every combination of a stock, an issuer and a chain. Some issuers use one address on more than one chain. Of these listings, 3,409 had a reading on 12 Sep 2026.

Five issuers. Robinhood, Ondo Global Markets, Backed through xStocks, Dinari and Coinbase.

Five chains. Robinhood Chain, Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana and Base.

Why 1,006 and 3,773 differ

Two things multiply.

Several issuers tokenize the same stock. 350 of the 1,006 carry tokens from more than one issuer. If Robinhood and Ondo both list NVDA, that is one stock and two products: the wrapper, the eligibility rule and the dividend mechanic differ.

One issuer puts the same product on several chains. In the registry, Ondo covers 450 stocks and holds 1,350 listings across Ethereum, BNB Chain and Solana, with the same stocks on each. Backed holds 1,852 across the same three chains, Robinhood 194 on its own chain, Dinari 367 across Base and Ethereum, and Coinbase 10 on Base.

NVDA shows both at once: ten listings, five products, one page.

Which number to use

To ask how much of the market is on chain, use 1,006. To work with tokens, use 3,773, because each listing is one token on one chain.

1,006 is not 1,006 out of a fixed total. We hold a reference list of listed tickers, 10,415 of them as of 9 Sep 2026, so that "is this stock on chain" can be answered "not yet" rather than with silence. The catalogue started with large US technology names, because that is what the issuers listed first.

What is not counted

Proposed and unverified listings stay out. A listing enters the registry after we have read it on chain, not when an issuer announces it. If an issuer we do not track has tokenized something, it is not in these numbers.

Counts change. The board carries a live timestamp; where it disagrees with this page, believe the board.
