CoinMarketCap has expanded its professional data API with seven new endpoints dedicated to real world assets, giving developers and institutions a single reference point for tracking tokenised stocks, government bonds, exchange traded funds and real estate as the on-chain RWA market approaches 34 billion dollars. The expansion, announced on 7 August, adds asset-list and quotes endpoints that return aggregate tokenised price, market capitalisation and 24 hour trading volume, alongside market-pairs and issuer endpoints that expose the underlying on-chain tokens, the venues they trade on and the companies issuing them. Core endpoints sit on CoinMarketCap's free Basic plan, lowering the barrier for smaller platforms and analysts to build on top of the data rather than scraping it from individual chains. For UK founders, investors and the platforms serving them, this is a small but telling signal. As tokenised equity, fund and bond markets mature under the FCA's fund tokenisation guidance, the Digital Securities Sandbox and the PISCES private share trading regime, one of the recurring frictions has been the absence of consistent, comparable pricing and market data across platforms and jurisdictions.

For UK founders, investors and the platforms serving them, this is a small but telling signal. As tokenised equity, fund and bond markets mature under the FCA's fund tokenisation guidance, the Digital Securities Sandbox and the PISCES private share trading regime, one of the recurring frictions has been the absence of consistent, comparable pricing and market data across platforms and jurisdictions.


A retail facing tokenised stock on Robinhood Chain, a UK PISCES trade in a private company, and a Kinexys backed money market fund share class all sit on different rails, reported through different channels, valued differently. Infrastructure that aggregates and standardises this data, even in a narrow initial form, is a precondition for institutional and retail adjacent investors to compare tokenised assets with any confidence.


The context CoinMarketCap points to is instructive. When SpaceX completed its public listing this year, the company published a developer guide showing how to pull data on SpaceX's own tokenised stock through the same endpoints now being expanded, an early indicator that data providers expect tokenised equity in high profile private and newly public companies to become a mainstream query rather than a niche one.


On-chain RWA figures excluding stablecoins have grown from around 5.4 billion dollars in January 2025 to roughly 34 billion dollars by July 2026, according to industry tracking cited alongside the announcement, even as broader decentralised finance activity has contracted over the same period.


None of this changes the fundamentals for a UK founder deciding whether to issue tokenised shares, or for an investor weighing a PISCES trading window. But it points to where the picks and shovels of this market are being built, and by whom. Price and issuance transparency is exactly the kind of unglamorous infrastructure that determines whether tokenised markets remain a collection of disconnected pilots or become something an ordinary UK fund manager or company secretary can reference with the same ease as a market data terminal.


Data providers moving early into RWA coverage is one of the clearer tells that the market they are serving is expected to keep growing.


Key Takeaways


  • CoinMarketCap has added seven Pro API endpoints covering tokenised stocks, Treasury bonds, ETFs and real estate, announced on 7 August 2026.

  • New asset-list, quotes, market-pairs and issuer endpoints expose aggregate pricing, trading volume and the on-chain tokens and issuers behind tokenised assets.

  • Core endpoints are available on CoinMarketCap's free Basic plan, widening access for smaller platforms and analysts.

  • On-chain RWA value excluding stablecoins has grown from about 5.4 billion dollars in January 2025 to roughly 34 billion dollars by July 2026.

  • For UK tokenised equity, fund and PISCES markets, standardised data infrastructure is a precondition for investor confidence as activity scales across multiple platforms and jurisdictions.
