Backpack Takes 73% of Solana’s Tokenized-Equities Volume Despite Holding 5% of Supply
Backpack generated $1.06 billion in July tokenized-equities volume, overtaking xStocksFi just one month after launching its securities offering, according to Crypto Briefing.
Backpack overtook xStocksFi in monthly tokenized-equities trading volume on Solana in July 2026, generating $1.06 billion despite holding only about 5% of the network’s tokenized stock supply. The result gives Backpack approximately 73% of issuer-market volume, just one month after launching its tokenized securities offering.
Volume Outpaces Supply
The figures highlight a sharp divergence between supply share and trading activity. xStocksFi, developed by Backed Finance and closely integrated with Kraken’s infrastructure, controls roughly 87% of Solana’s tokenized stock supply. Yet Backpack attracted substantially more monthly trading activity in July.
Backpack’s apparent advantage is its proprietary propAMM model, developed through strategic partnerships. The design is intended to concentrate liquidity more efficiently than conventional order-book or automated-market-maker systems, potentially allowing a smaller inventory of tokenized equities to support larger trading volumes.
Several individual listings contributed to the exchange’s momentum:
- Backpack’s SpaceX token, trading under the ticker SPCX, surpassed 10,000 onchain holders shortly after its June 2026 listing.
- Cumulative trading volume for SPCX exceeded $350 million.
- The SK Hynix token, listed as SKHY through a partnership with Sunrise, recorded $1.18 million in first-day volume on July 10.
A Rapidly Growing Market With Structural Differences
Solana now accounts for approximately 95% of global onchain tokenized-equity trading. The broader category has surpassed $10 billion in cumulative volume and is growing at roughly 180% month over month, according to the research.
The competition between Backpack and xStocksFi also reflects different issuance models. Backpack operates as a regulated brokerage and emphasizes direct redeemability and 1:1 backing with real shares. xStocksFi’s model incorporates synthetic elements while maintaining a dominant position in tokenized-equity supply.
The headline volume nevertheless warrants caution. Trading activity can be inflated by wash trading, automated strategies, or liquidity incentives that temporarily boost reported numbers. The growth in SPCX holders offers evidence that at least part of Backpack’s activity may represent organic demand, but it does not independently verify the full $1.06 billion total.
What This Means
Backpack’s July performance suggests that liquidity, market structure, and user access can matter more for tokenized-equity activity than the amount of supply controlled by an issuer. If the trend persists, the exchange could pressure xStocksFi’s volume dominance even while remaining far smaller by supply.
At the same time, Solana’s estimated 95% share of global tokenized-equity trading creates concentration risk. A significant network outage could effectively pause a large portion of the emerging market, making execution quality and chain reliability increasingly important as volumes expand.
