Remora Markets Ignites Competition in Solana RWA Market with rStocks Launch

Tokenized equities have been one of Solana’s biggest unfolding narratives in 2025, but until today, the sector has been monopolized by first movers.

Remora Markets, an onchain marketplace for tokenized stocks, emerges as a new entrant to Solana’s booming RWA scene, bringing new yield opportunities for DeFi players.

How does the launch of Remora Markets inject fresh dynamism into Solana’s RWA scene and herald the beginning of a new breakout moment for the crypto industry?

Remora Markets Goes Live

After months of eager anticipation, Remora Markets has finally launched its RWA marketplace for tokenized stocks. A fully compliant exchange, Remora joins Solana’s thriving RWA scene to expand the sector and expedite the adoption of TradFi assets in a more accessible and versatile financial landscape.

Remora Markets will list some of TradFi’s most popular stocks at launch, democratizing investor access to household companies like Tesla and NVIDIA. Future listings will be implemented based on user feedback and demand.

"We are super excited that the Remora team is ready to launch and bring tokenised stocks to the world. We think RWAs are clearly going to revolutionise the way a lot of people access these markets globally, making managing a global portfolio as easy as someone holding a stablecoin balance." - George Harrap, Step Finance Contributor

Through transparent Proof-of-Reserves and 1:1 asset-backing, Remora offers users peace of mind when diversifying their onchain portfolio. 

Acquired by Step Finance in December 2024, Remora operates using a simple mint-and-burn mechanism popularized by stablecoin issuers like Circle and Tether. Verified brokers can distribute redeemable tokens on the Solana blockchain representing the underlying stock.

Valued at over $44T, the U.S. stock market is the world’s greatest source of capital wealth and liquidity. Designed to democratize access to wealth management, Remora Markets will help Solana bring Wall Street to the world and help the Layer-1 challenge traditional finance systems.

For decades, TradFi has locked everyday users out of equity markets, making sophisticated wealth management a privilege reserved for the select few. Remora aims to level the playing field, blurring the line between TradFi and DeFi and giving anyone with an internet connection the opportunity to invest in U.S. stock markets.

Solana RWA-Fi Expands

Solana’s RWA scene has enjoyed explosive growth in 2025. RWA.xyz data reports that the total market capitalization of RWAs on the network has surged from $173.8M to $499M, representing a 187% increase YTD. 

In the same time frame, the number of RWA holders on the network has exploded by 1,356%, rising from 4.5k to 66k. The meteoric rise in Solana’s RWA adoption is largely attributed to the launch of Backed’s xStocks in early July.

By courtesy of being first-to-market, xStocks has established a dominant position in Solana’s tokenized equity scene. However, the emergence of Remora Markets introduces far greater composability to onchain RWAs. 

With several tokenized stock providers now in the market, DeFi users can tap into new yield-bearing strategies by providing liquidity and arbitraging prices between various tokenized stocks. This adds a compelling new layer of utility to Solana RWAs that was previously nonexistent.

Similar to how Solana’s LST scene witnessed dramatic growth as providers jostled for market share, competition in the RWA sector will catalyze further innovation and progress for tokenized assets.

Tokenized Stocks are Crypto’s Next Stablecoin Moment

The rise of onchain equities on Solana bears a strong resemblance to the growth trajectory of stablecoins. When stablecoins first hit the market, they were seen as nothing more than a simple and convenient way of holding wealth onchain without the volatility risk associated with cryptocurrency.

Since then, stablecoins have evolved tremendously, growing to a total market value of $283B and unlocking a dizzying array of new use cases and opportunities for users of all backgrounds. Stablecoins are now employed by thousands of different applications, servicing everyone from institutional players to grassroots holders.

Tokenized equities may be in their infancy, but the breadth of possibilities that come from democratizing one of the world’s largest markets is staggering. Boasting the highest usage metrics and trading volume of all networks in the blockchain industry, Solana is ideally situated to bring Wall Street to the world, with Remora Markets sitting at the front and center of Internet Capital Markets for the masses.

rStocks are now live on and tradable on Raydium, Orca, and DefiTuna.
