With the growing number of investors in tokenized ETFs, the sector has grown in tandem, reaching a market capitalization of roughly $437.6 million at the time of publication. The most demanded tokenized ETFs among these users over the past year have been SPYx (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust) and QQQx (Invesco QQQ Trust), with market shares of 49.3% and 18.7%, respectively.

Notably, the Solana (SOL) network accounts for the sector’s lion’s share, currently estimated at around 67.2%. Meanwhile, the BNB chain and the Ethereum (ETH) network account for roughly 17.7% and 10.3%, respectively, of the total tokenized ETFs.

Why is the tokenized ETF space ballooning?

The tokenized ETFs space has ballooned over the past year, driven by 24/7 global trading, ultra-low costs in Decentralized Finance (DeFi), regulatory clarity, and self-custody. With tokenized traditional ETFs on DeFi, more users can seamlessly trade and earn yields unavailable on traditional platforms.

Worth noting, this sector offers crypto users more options to diversify their portfolios with less-volatile assets, without trading restrictions. Moreover, unlike DeFi protocols, which operate continuously and are open to anyone, traditional stock markets close at night and on weekends and often restrict retail access due to geographical limits.

The growth of this space has been heavily influenced by the regulatory clarity in the United States. Under the chair of Paul Atkins, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the listing of tokenized assets.

Solana Mainnet enables 4096-byte transactions: More space, but also brings upgrade pressure on indexers
Solana will enable v1 transaction-related functions on the mainnet Epoch on September 15th at 01:20 UTC. The maximum size of a single transaction will be increased from 1232 bytes to 4096 bytes, which is approximately 3.3 times the original size. The official upgrade page indicates that the activation is expected to occur at this time, and the mainnet status will be marked as activated. The new format provides more space for zero-knowledge proofs, large multi-signatures, batch processing, and some on-chain signature schemes, reducing the need for developers to split a single operation into multiple transactions. The existing legacy and v0 transactions will continue to function, so this is not a hard fork that requires all wallets and applications to switch immediately.

Final Launches Shannon Development Network: An "Adaptive Blockchain" Begins with Restricted Testing
The new public chain Final announced on September 15th that its first major version, Shannon, is already running on the development network. The project positions itself as an “adaptive blockchain network” and showcases a structure composed of a main chain and a transaction chain, with plans to provide core facilities such as derivatives, spot trading, and stablecoins at the protocol layer. What needs to be clarified at this point is that what has been launched is Devnet, not the mature mainnet intended for everyone. The official website states that Shannon will be open to the public “in the near future,” and the current page still provides an application access link; functions such as wallets, bridges, and documentation are also marked as upcoming.

Canadian wholesale sales rose slightly by 0.3% in July: Building materials saw strength, but actual sales decreased by 0.6%
On September 15, Statistics Canada announced that in July 2026, wholesale sales increased by 0.3% month-on-month at current prices, reaching C$91.4 billion. This figure does not include oil, petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons, nor does it include oilseeds and grains. On the surface, there was little change in sales amounts, with growth even observed in the building materials and food sectors; however, when calculated at constant prices, total sales volume decreased by 0.6%. The increase in nominal amounts while the actual quantity decreased indicates that price factors supported the data for that month, and it also serves as a reminder to the market that one positive growth figure alone should not be used to conclude that demand has strengthened.
