TREE NEWS reports: Centralized exchanges added 517 new listings in the third quarter, a 47% increase from the previous quarter and an end to three straight quarters of decline, CryptoRank data show. OKX accounted for 100 of the new listings, making it the second-most active platform by listing count. CryptoRank attributed the growth mainly to tokenized assets, as exchanges ramp up listings of tokenized equities.
CEX Listings Hit 517 in Q3, Up 47% QoQ on Tokenized Assets
The rebound matters less for its headline count than for its composition: tokenized assets, not native crypto, are doing the work, which suggests exchanges are positioning themselves as distribution venues for real-world exposure rather than pure speculation. OKX's outsized share hints at a competitive land grab among platforms competing for that flow. The open question is whether listing momentum in tokenized equities translates into durable trading volume, or stays a supply-side story.
