Memory stocks are drawing billions in crypto trading. Tokenization tells only half the story.
SanDisk, SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung collectively recorded approximately $8.75B in 24-hour perpetual trading volume in CoinGecko’s October 19 snapshot.
The breakdown:
• SK Hynix, Korean listing: $3.90B
• SanDisk: $2.62B
• Micron: $1.34B
• Samsung: $893M
For comparison, Nvidia recorded approximately $475M.
The surprising detail is the gap between tokenization and trading activity.
CoinGecko showed roughly $106M in tokenized market capitalization for SanDisk, alongside $2.62B in daily perp turnover. Samsung and SK Hynix’s Korean listing had perp activity even though their tokenized market-cap fields were blank.
Crypto platforms can offer stock-price exposure through derivatives without a corresponding tokenized share appearing in that dataset.
But volume needs careful interpretation. These figures measure trading turnover, not fresh capital entering the market. They also do not reveal whether traders are predominantly bullish or bearish.
And stock perpetuals provide derivative exposure, not ownership of the underlying shares.
The bigger shift is that crypto trading infrastructure is becoming a venue for expressing views on traditional markets, including the memory-chip trade.
Which do you think will attract more lasting demand: tokenized share ownership or stock perpetuals? Share your reasoning below.
