Chainlink and Ondo Redefine Capital Markets with Cross-Chain Institutional Infrastructure

Ondo Finance, a leading platform for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), has partnered with Chainlink, the premier oracle network, to power its institutional-grade tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The collaboration, announced on October 30, positions Chainlink as Ondo's official oracle provider, leveraging its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to facilitate secure, transparent data feeds and cross-chain operations for financial institutions, according to Crypto.news. This move aims to bridge traditional finance and decentralized ecosystems, enabling institutions to access onchain capital markets with institutional-grade infrastructure, per Yahoo Finance.

The partnership integrates Chainlink's oracle solutions to deliver real-time pricing data for over 100 tokenized equities and ETFs on Ondo's platform, which now spans 10 blockchains and holds over $320 million in total value locked (TVL), according to Yahoo Finance. By using Chainlink's custom price feeds, Ondo ensures accurate valuations and corporate action tracking—such as dividend distributions—directly onchain, enhancing transparency for institutional investors, per Blockonomi. The integration also supports cross-chain interoperability, allowing assets to move seamlessly between blockchains via CCIP, a protocol already tested by traditional finance firms like Swift and DTCC.

Ondo's expansion to the BNB Chain in October 2025 further underscores its cross-chain ambitions, broadening access to non-U.S. investors seeking exposure to U.S. equities and Treasury assets, according to Yahoo Finance. This aligns with Chainlink's strategy to solidify its role in tokenized RWAs, where secure data handling is critical for institutional adoption, as noted by Crypto.news. Nathan Allman, Ondo's founder and CEO, emphasized that the partnership "showcases what institutional-grade tokenized stocks look like in production," enabling composable assets across DeFi and traditional finance rails, per Crypto.news.

Chainlink's involvement extends beyond data feeds. The company has joined Ondo's Global Market Alliance, a coalition of wallets, exchanges, and custodians driving tokenized securities adoption, according to PR Newswire. Meanwhile, Ondo has entered Chainlink's corporate actions initiative, collaborating with entities like Euroclear and DTCC to modernize market infrastructure on blockchain rails, as reported by Blockonomi. Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink's co-founder, highlighted the partnership's potential to redefine capital markets: "The tokenization of real-world assets is a fundamental shift in how global markets operate," per Crypto.news.

The collaboration reflects growing momentum in tokenized asset adoption. Ondo's platform now supports over 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs, with assets integrated into more than 100 applications, according to PR Newswire. Chainlink's role in this ecosystem strengthens its position as a trusted infrastructure provider, following recent partnerships with Balcony for real estate data tokenization and Circle's Arc layer-2 network, as noted by Crypto.news.
