286K Wallets Push Solana Past Ethereum In RWA Race

Key Points

• Solana holds 285,971 wallets exposed to tokenized real-world assets as of June 18, passing Ethereum’s 199,191 and BNB Chain’s 101,902 to lead all networks.
• Solana’s RWA holder base grew 29.3% in 30 days while its RWA transfer volume hit $5.5 billion, up 66.94% month over month.
• Solana took 97% of on-chain tokenized equity spot volume in May, so any wallet can trade tokenized stocks on a DEX with no broker.

Solana now holds more wallets exposed to tokenized real-world assets than any other chain, 285,971 of them as of June 18, overtaking both Ethereum and BNB Chain, according to RWA.xyz figures the RWA Foundation highlighted this week. Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo, whose tokenized credit fund helped drive the surge, said tokenization “reaches its greatest potential when it combines quality assets with the speed and accessibility of blockchain infrastructure.” For a retail wallet, the milestone matters less as a leaderboard win than as a signal of where tokenized stocks and credit are actually easy to hold and trade right now.

Solana’s 285,971 RWA Wallets Pass Ethereum, BNB

Solana recorded 285,971 wallets holding tokenized real-world assets as of June 18, the most of any network, according to RWA.xyz data the RWA Foundation flagged.

That total is roughly 31% of the 924,469 RWA holders spread across 35 chains. Ethereum sits second with 199,191 wallets, and BNB Chain third with 101,902.

The pace is the louder signal. Solana crossed the 200,000-wallet mark only in late April, then added close to 85,000 more holders in under two months, a 29.3% jump over 30 days.

The RWA Foundation flagged the crossover as an adoption milestone, a shift in who holds tokenized assets rather than how much value sits on each chain.

Each address in that count is a self-custodied wallet holding a tokenized asset, not an institutional custody account locked behind a desk.

That distinction matters, because the number tracks real retail reach rather than a handful of large allocators moving size.

Where Solana’s $5.5B RWA Transfers Beat Ethereum

Ethereum still holds more tokenized value in absolute terms, but the trend lines are converging.

Solana’s distributed RWA value climbed 14% over 30 days while Ethereum’s slipped 4.7% over the same window.

Activity is following the holders. RWA transfers on Solana reached $5.5 billion in 30 days, up 66.94% month over month.

The chain also captured 97% of on-chain tokenized equity spot trading volume in May, the clearest sign of where retail trades stocks on-chain.

Strip away the leaderboard and this is really about which chain a $1,000 wallet can actually use tokenized stocks and credit on today, and right now that is Solana.

Three launches pulled the holders in.

Securitize rolled out its STAC fund of tokenized investment-grade CLOs on the chain, Ethena Labs committed a $250 million allocation, and Ondo and Maple Finance now run active secondary markets for new issuers.

Solana’s stablecoin float of $15.6 billion across 10.6 million holders supplies the cash those markets settle in, and you can follow how the chains keep splitting the RWA market across our wider coverage.

Ethereum’s $2.4B BUIDL Still Shadows Solana’s Lead

Securitize’s Carlos Domingo, whose STAC fund helped pull holders onto Solana, frames the move as quality assets meeting blockchain speed, the pairing he argues scales tokenization beyond pilots.

RWA Insider tracked that same fund when Ethena routed a quarter-billion dollars of tokenized credit onto the chain, the kind of launch that converts curious traders into wallet holders.

The retail pipeline runs wider than credit. Western Union now uses USDPT on Solana to settle for more than 150 million customers across 200-plus countries.

SoFi has gone further down the same road, putting its bank stablecoin in front of nearly 15 million members through its app.

The open question is retention, not acquisition. Holding the wallet-count crown does not guarantee users stay once the rush of tokenized launches slows.

The pattern underneath is clear enough.

Solana is becoming the default home for smaller-ticket RWA products with wide retail reach, while the heavyweight institutional allocations still cluster on Ethereum.

Ethereum keeps structural advantages too: deeper liquidity, institutional familiarity, and BlackRock’s BUIDL fund at $2.4 billion. Solana, for now, owns the smaller-ticket, broader-retail corner.

Whether Solana keeps these 285,971 wallets depends on whether tokenized stocks and credit stay liquid after the launch wave cools, and the next two months of holder data will settle it.

Before you chase the chain with the most holders, check where the tokenized asset you actually want trades deepest, because liquidity, not leaderboard rank, is what fills your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many RWA wallets does Solana have?

Solana recorded 285,971 wallets holding tokenized real-world assets as of June 18, about 31% of the 924,469 holders across 35 chains tracked by RWA.xyz. That put it ahead of Ethereum’s 199,191 and BNB Chain’s 101,902.

Can I hold tokenized stocks on Solana without a broker?

Yes. Any Solana wallet can hold and trade tokenized equities on a decentralized exchange with no brokerage account. Solana captured 97% of on-chain tokenized equity spot trading volume in May, so liquidity for those tokens is concentrated there.

Is Solana now bigger than Ethereum for RWA?

It depends on the metric. Solana leads in wallet count and 30-day growth, but Ethereum still holds more total distributed RWA value and hosts BlackRock’s $2.4 billion BUIDL fund. Solana is winning the broader-retail end of the market, not the institutional value race.

What drove Solana’s RWA wallet growth?

Three launches did most of the work: Securitize’s STAC fund of tokenized investment-grade CLOs, Ethena Labs’ $250 million allocation, and active secondary markets on Ondo and Maple Finance. Western Union’s USDPT settlement and SoFi’s bank stablecoin added millions more potential holders.
