Blockchain.com and Ondo Finance Expand Tokenized U.S. Stocks Access Across Europe

Blockchain.com and Ondo Finance have expanded access to tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs for eligible users across Europe. The partnership now allows direct access to regulated, tokenized U.S. equities and exchange-traded funds through the Blockchain.com DeFi wallet.

The expansion builds on the success of previous initiatives in Africa and South America, where the two firms introduced over 200 tokenized stocks and ETFs. European users can now leverage the same onchain exposure to major U.S. companies through the familiar Blockchain.com interface.

Ondo Global Markets, launched in September 2025, has seen explosive growth, with a total value locked (TVL) of $556 million and trading volume exceeding $8.7 billion. The platform's focus on real-world assets (RWAs) has positioned it as a dominant player in the tokenization sector.

Why Did This Happen?

The partnership aims to provide a faster, more efficient, and self-owned solution for accessing U.S. equities compared to traditional banking systems. Peter Smith, CEO and Executive Chairman of Blockchain.com, emphasized the shift toward inclusivity and security in financial systems.

The expansion also aligns with growing demand for institutional-grade assets on the blockchain. European investors are increasingly seeking digital alternatives to traditional brokerage accounts.

How Are European Investors Responding?

Users across 30 European Economic Area (EEA) states can now buy, sell, and hold over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs. The integration removes the need for traditional brokerage accounts by managing assets directly within the Blockchain.com Wallet interface.

Ondo also offers onchain access to tokenized precious metals ETFs, such as SLVon (Silver) and IAUon (Gold), expanding investors' exposure to commodities. This flexibility supports a broader portfolio diversification strategy.

What Are Analysts Watching Next?

The partnership marks a significant shift in how European investors can access institutional-grade assets using digital wallets. Analysts are closely monitoring whether this expansion will drive broader adoption of tokenized assets across the EEA.

The growth of tokenized equities is being supported by initiatives such as MetaMask's integration with Ondo's platform, which has also enabled over 200 tokenized U.S. securities to be traded within its wallet. These efforts are collectively shaping the future of real-world asset tokenization.

Ondo's president, Ian De Bode, noted that this expansion opens up a new segment of the global user base for the platform. The next step is to assess how the increased availability will influence adoption rates and trading behavior.
