Ondo Finance, a leading provider of tokenized real-world assets, has partnered with

Mastercard
to bring tokenized U.S. Treasury securities to the Mastercard Token Network (MTN). This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the integration of blockchain technology and traditional finance, offering businesses an alternative to traditional cash management.

The partnership enables businesses to access Ondo Finance's short-term U.S. government treasuries fund directly on a public blockchain through the MTN. This integration removes the need for stablecoin onramps or settlement delays, providing a seamless and efficient financial transaction experience.

Mastercard's MTN is designed to streamline financial transactions by connecting banks and businesses in a unified digital environment. The addition of tokenized U.S. Treasury securities introduces these assets to the network, linking private payment systems with public blockchains. This development follows years of efforts by banks to leverage blockchain technology for efficiency while maintaining regulatory compliance.

The Ondo Finance integration allows businesses to access tokenized U.S. Treasury securities directly on a public blockchain, settle payments through traditional banking infrastructure without additional cryptocurrency requirements, and manage liquidity with increased flexibility. The underlying assets of the fund include holdings in BlackRock’s U.S. dollar institutional digital liquidity fund and short-term U.S. Treasuries managed by firms such as Franklin Templeton and

WisdomTree
.

Mastercard's multi-token network aims to establish a framework for digital financial transactions, including applications in cross-border settlements and liquidity management. By incorporating tokenized assets, the network expands its capabilities to support businesses seeking alternative financial solutions.
