ARK Invest Highlights About 2% Lending Use for Tokenized Equities

ARK Invest highlighted that about 2% of tokenized equity supply is used in lending markets, below the shares for Ether and traditional securities.

About 7% of Ether (ETH) supply and around 6% of traditional financial securities were used in lending markets. The comparison describes lending participation, a separate measure from trading volume.

Tokenized equities accounted for 9% of spot decentralized-exchange (DEX) volume in the third quarter, up from 1% in the second quarter. Total spot DEX volume rose about 13% to $571 billion during the quarter. The Q3 trading share for tokenized equities measures exchange activity, while the 2% figure tracks use in lending markets.
