Solana captures 95% of tokenized stock trading volume in massive DeFi pivot
The recent launch of the xStocks platform enabled Solana to quickly achieve dominance in stock market tokenization.
Solana has rapidly become a leader in stock-based real-world assets. According to the data analytics platform SolanaFloor , the launch of Backed Finance’s xStocks platform helped Solana capture dominance in tokenized stock trading.
Notably, data from Dune Analytics shows that since xStocks’ launch on June 30, Solana has accounted for more than 95% of all tokenized stock trading volume. Currently, xStocks offers 60 tokenized assets on its platform, 55 stocks and 5 ETFs.

On the first day of trading, xStocks’ volume surpassed $1.3 million, with Strategy’s stocks capturing 30% of that figure. However, stocks and indices like Tesla and the S&P 500 quickly overtook it in trading activity.
The $SPYx tokenized stock recorded $4.67 million in daily volume on July 2, representing more than 50% of all trading that day. Still, by July 3, trading volumes had dropped by more than half, indicating that initial trading enthusiasm had cooled.
xStocks AUM reaches $48.6 million
Despite the decline in trading volumes, major users on the platform continued to hold their stock tokens. On July 3, xStocks’ assets under management reached $48.6 million. The leading asset was the $SPYx token, with $6.9 million in AUM. $METAx followed with $4.3 million, and $TSLAx came in third at $3.4 million.

The platform also saw significant user adoption, with over 20,000 unique wallets holding tokenized stocks. Among them, the $SPYx token was the most popular, held by more than 10,000 wallets. $TSLAx and $NVDAx followed, with 8,100 and 5,500 holders, respectively.
Still, despite this early engagement, liquidity remains low, SolanaFloor cautioned. The platform noted that liquidity will likely be the key factor in determining whether tokenized stock trading on Solana proves viable.

Goldman Sachs believes that the AI investment cycle is currently in the "trough of disillusionment," but this is not the first time. The core contradiction lies in the fact that the business models of new cloud computing providers are highly dependent on end-user returns from AI spending, while currently "there are basically zero companies that can attribute profits to AI." Social Capital founder Palihapitiya has clearly defined an 18-month key window, during which the market will decide which AI business models are sustainable and which are not.
Anthropic's Core Concern: Revenue Can Be Withdrawn at Any Time, but Computing Power Costs Are Locked in for up to 20 Years
Zheshang Securities believes that Anthropic's revenue is mainly based on usage-based billing, with remaining performance obligations covering only about 5.1 months of annualized revenue, while compute power costs are already locked in with $895.4 billion in irrevocable commitments, some extending as far as 2045. Revenues can be reduced at any time, but costs are non-exitable, creating a highly asymmetric maturity gap between the two—this is the company's real core constraint.
Triple Pressure from the Federal Reserve, Treasury, and Congress; Goldman Sachs: Liquidity Crisis May Occur in 2027
Goldman Sachs warns that the reserve ratio of bank assets has dropped to around 11%, only slightly above the crisis trough of 2019. In the second half of 2027, a deadlock in debt ceiling negotiations will force the Treasury to rebuild the TGA, triggering a "perfect storm" of a sharp drop in reserves and a surge in T-bill supply; combined with stalled money market fund buying, this will create a huge liquidity black hole. The Federal Reserve could be forced into the awkward position of lowering interest rates and launching large-scale bond purchases to rescue the market.
