The deposits split across Uniswap\u2019s two active versions: $54.7 million flowed into V4 and $28.1 million into V3. Combined, the protocol now accounts for a commanding share of a tokenized stock DeFi market that has reached $192.6 million in total value locked.<\/p>\n<h2>The Robinhood Chain factor<\/h2>\n<p>Most of this activity traces back to Robinhood Chain, where tokenized versions of traditional equities have found a surprisingly active trading audience. Uniswap has captured 73% of all stock token deposits on the chain, making it the de facto automated market maker for anyone looking to trade tokenized equities onchain.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"cb-gloria-insert cb-deferred-ad\" data-article=\"uniswap-tokenized-stock-defi-tvl-growth\" data-variant=\"uniswap-tokenized-stock-defi-tvl-growth\/discover\"><template readability=\"0.84615384615385\"><\/p>\n<div readability=\"5.9230769230769\">\n<p>Gloria<\/p>\n<p>Your portfolio shows you what you own.

Robinhood, the app that famously brought commission-free stock trading to millions of retail investors, now has its own blockchain. And the dominant trading venue on that chain isn\u2019t a Robinhood-built exchange \u2014 it\u2019s Uniswap, an open-source protocol governed by token holders.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-banner leaderboard-in-article cb-deferred-ad cb-block14-wrap\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><template\/><\/div>\n<h2>Breaking down the TVL leaderboard<\/h2>\n<p>As of early September, Uniswap V4 led the tokenized stock DeFi category with $59.1 million in TVL. Uniswap V3 held an additional $20.9 million. The only other protocol in the same weight class is Kamino Lend, a Solana-based lending protocol with $41.7 million locked. Together, these three venues account for roughly 63% of the entire $192.6 million tokenized stock DeFi market.<\/p>\n<p>The split between V3 and V4 is also telling. V4 attracted nearly double the deposits of V3 over the same period. V4 introduced hooks, which are customizable smart contract plugins that let pool creators add features like dynamic fees, limit orders, and custom oracle integrations.<\/p>\n<h2>Why tokenized stocks are gravitating to DeFi<\/h2>\n<p>DeFi venues offer 24\/7 trading, instant settlement, composability with other protocols, and permissionless access. Traditional stock markets close at 4 PM Eastern. DeFi doesn\u2019t have a closing bell.<\/p>\n<p>Kamino Lend\u2019s $41.7 million in TVL hints at another dimension of this market: lending against tokenized stock positions. If you hold tokenized Apple shares and want to borrow stablecoins without selling, a DeFi lending protocol can facilitate that.<\/p>\n<p>Uniswap\u2019s 73% deposit share on Robinhood Chain gives it something close to a monopoly position in one of the fastest-growing segments of DeFi. For now, the protocol that started as a simple token swap interface is quietly becoming a stock exchange.<\/p>\n<p>                    <!-- Editorial Disclosure --><\/p>\n<div class=\"mt-8 pt-4 border-t border-border text-xs text-muted-foreground not-prose\" readability=\"30.057971014493\">\n                        <strong>Disclosure:<\/strong> This article was edited by Editorial Team.
