Solana Flips Robinhood in Tokenized Stock Holders for First Time Since July
Solana has overtaken Robinhood Chain in the number of tokenized equities holders according to the latest data from Blockworks. The network now accounts for over 1.5 million tokenized stock holders which puts it just ahead of Robinhood Chain at around 1.48 million and behind BNB chain, which still leads with 1.93 million holders.

Based on recent data from Blockworks, Solana has surpassed Robinhood Chain in terms of tokenized equities holders. The network currently boasts more than 1.5 million tokenized stock holders, placing it just ahead of Robinhood Chain’s approximately 1.48 million, while the BNB chain maintains the lead with 1.93 million holders.
Back in July, meme-stock excitement on Robinhood’s platform propelled its holder count past Solana’s. Robinhood Chain maintained this advantage without swapping places with Solana until now.
Presently, the margin is narrow at around 23,000 holders, but the growth momentum remains strong. During October alone, Solana gained over 260,000 holders, a figure now five times larger than when Robinhood Chain originally took the lead.
Across all networks, the total number of tokenized stock holders stands at 5.13 million, with Solana capturing a 29% market share. Market activity centers primarily around these top three networks, as Base and Ethereum lag significantly behind with fewer than 80,000 holders each.
New Listings Are Widening the Catalog
An expansion in available supply is a major factor driving Solana’s rising holder count. Sunrise and Backpack Securities introduced 20 new tickers onchain in September, featuring prominent names like Micron, Nike, and Moderna. Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante expressed his ambition to bring the entire stock market to Solana, aiming to scale up from 200 stocks to 10,000 as a subsequent milestone.
A broader selection of companies gives individuals added incentives to participate on the network. Whereas Solana users seeking stock exposure previously had a limited selection, they can now access healthcare and consumer stocks directly on the chain they already use for other activities.
Tokenized Stocks Now Sit Inside Solana’s Main Apps
Accessibility to these equities has advanced rapidly, allowing users to purchase and trade them via familiar Solana applications including Jupiter, Raydium, and Phantom. Additionally, the Kraken Wallet alone provides access to over 700 xStocks.
This integration significantly reduces user friction. Combining equities alongside stablecoins within the same swap interface streamlines the overall user journey, and current holder statistics indicate that people are actively utilizing the feature.
The SEC Framework Arrived as Solana Crossed 1 Million
On September 17, the SEC established a five-year conditional framework for trading tokenized stocks. At that time, Solana’s holder count remained under 1 million. That threshold was surpassed within roughly a week, and a substantial portion of the advance toward 1.5 million has occurred subsequently.
Typically, regulatory clarity attracts issuers and front-end providers ahead of everyday users, and Solana’s growth trajectory closely mirrors that pattern.
Robinhood’s Lead Came From a Different Kind of Holder
Robinhood Chain’s surge in July relied on existing retail traders from Robinhood who sought onchain exposure to their favored stocks. That user base remains substantial, and with 1.48 million holders, Robinhood Chain is far from fading away.
Conversely, Solana’s expansion appears more distributed. Participants arrive via wallets, decentralized exchanges, and third-party issuers, without relying on a single dominant application. This dynamic could make its lead more resilient over time, though with a mere 23,000-address difference, rankings could shift back within days.
