$GRND Cleared $31M On-Chain in Its First 24 Hours, More Than Its Prior-Day U.S. Volume

Tokenized $GRND via Backpack Securities cleared $31 million in its first 24 hours on Solana, exceeding the company's entire prior-day volume on U.S. exchanges, per the Solana Foundation newsletter.

The tokenized version generated deeper volume in its first 24 hours on a venue with no brokerage requirement, no account minimums, and global reach. It joins a growing roster of tokenized names on Solana including NKE, HTZ, SPHR, WEN, DNUT, and DKNG via Sunrise Sunrise and Backpack Securities.

The 1-800-Flowers ($FLWS) listing via Backpack Securities posted $22.19 million in first-day volume on September 12. GameStop was tokenized as $GMEx via xStocks the same week.

A separate community data post on September 13 placed Raydium at 70% of that day's total Solana tokenized equity volume, noting it exceeded the combined NASDAQ and NYSE figure by more than $100 million.
