In its latest announcement, PancakeSwap â one of the leading DeFi protocols on the BNB Chain network â officially launched perpetual contracts for three iconic US stocks: Apple (AAPL), Amazon (AMZN), and Tesla (TSLA). These contracts are available on PancakeSwap V3 with support for up to 25x leverage.
âPancakeSwap Perpetuals is a derivative contract with no expiration date that allows users to speculate on the price of an asset â including crypto, and now stocks â without owning the underlying asset. Users can go long or short, trade with leverage, and access the market 24/7,â reads PancakeSwapâs official statement.
This move is a milestone, as it is the first time a DEX has ventured into the stock derivatives sector. It also marks significant progress for DeFi in integrating traditional assets, a trend known as Real-World Assets (RWA).
According to RWA.xyz data, the market capitalization of tokenized shares has reached $374 million, up 220% since June. Monthly transfer volume is in the range of $330 million. Algorand leads the tokenized share market at 66%, driven by Exodusâ EXOD stock.

The Binance Research report said, âIf just 1% of total global shares were tokenized, their market value could exceed $1.3 trillion, driving significant growth in on-chain assets and DeFi infrastructure towards mainstream adoption.â
The same report also noted a jump in the number of active on-chain addresses from 1,600 to 90,000. However, the trading volume of tokenized stocks on centralized exchanges is still 70 times greater than on-chain platforms.
On the positive side, this gap represents a huge growth opportunity for DEX platforms in this emerging sector.

One of the US stock tokenization protocols, xStocks, recorded a trading volume of over $2 billion in just three months after launch. This figure reflects the high demand and bright prospects for tokenized stock trading.
However, PancakeSwap will still have to face the challenge of competing with established players.

Data on the X platform shows PancakeSwap saw an increase in users and trading volume in July, with total spot trading volume surpassing US$188 billion â equivalent to 43% of the total DEX trading market share.
The launch of this stock futures contract is expected to be a major growth driver for PancakeSwap in the coming months.
