<p>Dune reported the figures in its <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/10/22/3386238/0/en/dune-launches-real-time-market-data-feeds-as-tokenized-u-s-stocks-move-onchain.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">October 22 announcement</a> of real-time market data feeds, launched as tokenized U.S. stocks begin moving onchain.</p>
<h2 id="a-data-feed-timed-for-tokenized-u-s-stocks">A data feed timed for tokenized U.S. stocks</h2>
<p>In September, the SEC opened a path for tokenized U.S. stocks to trade onchain, according to Dune. A joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange has since filed to list 63 of them on XLayer, OKX’s network, and the new feeds support XLayer from the first day of trading.</p>
<p>The pitch to hedge funds, market makers and brokers rests on scale. Spot volume on decentralised exchanges more than doubled last year to $6.8 trillion, and about a quarter of spot crypto trading now happens onchain. The launch covers that market with three products: a spot feed spanning more than 200 venues on 12 chains, including Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain and XLayer; a perpetuals feed for Hyperliquid and Lighter; and reference data giving every asset, venue and market a stable identifier.</p>
<p>Each trade carries price, size and side and links back to the transaction that settled it. The company’s <a href="https://dune.com/blog/dune-market-data-feeds-are-live" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">launch post</a> says trades arrive about a second after the block containing them, unpriced trades are flagged with a reason, and blockchain reorganisations trigger correction messages. Venues are screened for liquidity, pricing integrity and registration, so some onchain activity is left out by design.</p>
<h2 id="derivatives-outtraded-tokenized-shares-about-five-to-one">Derivatives outtraded tokenized shares about five to one</h2>
<p>In the third quarter, tokenized stocks and ETFs traded more than $37 billion across every venue Dune tracks. Stock, ETF and index perpetuals on Hyperliquid alone traded $201 billion, roughly five times as much.</p>

<p>The ratio compares unlike things. Perpetual volume is notional: leverage lets a position exceed the collateral behind it, and traders who open and close the same contract repeatedly add volume each time. Hyperliquid’s figure counts each match once, not once per side, according to Dune’s <a href="https://dune.com/data/perpetuals-trading" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">perpetuals dataset</a>, but it still measures turnover, not money invested in companies. What the gap does show is which product traders reach for when they want stock exposure onchain.</p>
<p>The two products also give holders very different things.</p>

<p>Perpetuals also trade around the clock on margin and can list names that are hard to buy directly. Dune’s <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2026/09/30/3371933/0/en/dune-report-finds-tokenized-markets-often-diverge-from-the-assets-they-reference.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">September 30 report</a> found Asian stocks made up 24% of equity perpetual open interest, much of it in memory stocks.</p>
<h2 id="outside-operators-write-most-of-the-contracts">Outside operators write most of the contracts</h2>
<p>Most of Hyperliquid’s equity, commodity, index and currency exposure sits in markets launched by outside teams under the <a href="https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/hyperliquid-improvement-proposals-hips/hip-3-builder-deployed-perpetuals" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">HIP-3 framework</a>, according to Dune. Those operators set leverage terms, supply the reference price and take a share of fees. Two contracts named after the same stock can therefore use different price sources and leverage caps, and Dune attaches a written contract specification to each market to tell them apart.</p>
<p>Institutions are reaching these markets through intermediaries as well. In October, <a href="https://coindoo.com/ripple-prime-brings-24-7-swaps-to-traditional-assets/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple Prime launched swaps referencing Trade.xyz perpetuals on Hyperliquid</a>, giving its clients exposure linked to those markets through a swap with the prime broker.</p>

<h2 id="the-weekend-gap">The weekend gap</h2>
<p>The price source matters most when the stock market is closed. Hyperliquid’s <a href="https://hyperliquid.gitbook.io/hyperliquid-docs/trading/robust-price-indices" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">pricing documentation</a> uses a mark price for margining and liquidation, with the oracle supplying the reference. Over a weekend, the last trade, the oracle and the mark can drift apart, and how each updates depends on the contract’s specification. A Saturday trade on Dune’s feed shows what someone just paid, not necessarily the price used to liquidate positions or where the stock opens on Monday.</p>
<p>Dune’s September report argues that weekend trading reveals how traders are positioned while the underlying market is shut. Its enterprise perpetuals dataset rebuilds Hyperliquid’s order book every minute, so the cost of that positioning, in spread and depth, is now measurable for subscribers.</p>
