#stocks 📉 The era of “shitcoins” is over: why are stocks and gold taking over crypto exchanges?
In 2025, more than 11 million cryptocurrencies “died” on the market. This is almost 58% of all tracked assets. While investors are getting tired of endless meaningless memecoins, crypto exchanges are making a move like a horse — they are massively adding Apple, Tesla, gold and ETF shares to their terminals.
As of May 2026, the volume of tokenized real assets (RWA) exceeded $31 billion. We are witnessing the birth of hybrid finance.
🔍 Why is this happening right now?
1. Protection from the “bear market”: Exchange revenues (Coinbase, Robinhood) fell by 30–47% during stagnation, while the tokenized stock segment showed anomalous growth — by 2900% per year.
2. 24/7 availability: Crypto exchanges offer what a traditional broker cannot: instant purchase of Nvidia shares or oil in the middle of the night, on weekends, for USDT.
3. The end of the “illusion of profit”: Large coins no longer give easy x100s, and small ones are increasingly being zeroed out. Traders choose the volatility of oil or silver instead of the risk of complete loss of liquidity in altcoins.
🏆 Who wins and who loses?
• 💀 Losers: Thousands of speculative altcoins and memecoins. They cannot withstand direct competition with assets with fundamental value and real cash flow.
• 🏗️ Beneficiaries: Infrastructure networks (Ethereum, Solana) and RWA projects (Ondo, Chainlink, Mantra), which become the “rails” for the new market.
• 👑 Bitcoin: Remains the “digital gold” beyond competition, strengthening its status as a benchmark as the market is cleared of junk.
⚔️ Main intrigue
Will crypto platforms (Binance, OKX, Bybit) maintain their leadership when giants like Nasdaq and NYSE launch their own blockchain solutions? Wall Street has already learned to copy technology, leaving control of assets to itself.
