Ondo Finance Acquires Oasis Pro to Expand Tokenized Stocks in US

Ondo Finance, a blockchain platform focused on institutional-grade finance, has announced its acquisition of Oasis Pro, a regulated broker-dealer platform. This strategic move, confirmed in a statement on July 4, 2025, is a significant step in Ondo Finance's plan to expand its footprint in real-world assets through tokenized stocks.

Oasis Pro, established in 2019, has been a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority since 2020. The platform provides compliant infrastructure for the issuance and trading of tokenized securities, making it a valuable asset for Ondo Finance. The acquisition grants Ondo Finance access to the necessary licenses and infrastructure to introduce tokenized stocks to the U.S. market. Oasis Pro's regulation by both the SEC and FINRA qualifies it as a compliant broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System, and Transfer Agent.

Oasis Pro is notable for being one of the first U.S.-regulated Alternative Trading Systems to secure approval for digital securities settlement in both fiat and stablecoins. The platform has also collaborated with FINRA’s Crypto Working Group, contributing to the development of the regulatory framework for asset tokenization in the U.S.

Pat LaVecchia, the chief executive officer of Oasis Pro, will join the Ondo Finance team. His leadership is expected to bolster Ondo’s efforts in building a compliant and efficient digital asset infrastructure. LaVecchia highlighted that the acquisition combines Oasis Pro’s brokerage platform and licenses with Ondo’s existing institutional-grade infrastructure and products, creating a comprehensive foundation for a regulated tokenized securities ecosystem.

Tokenization is rapidly gaining momentum, with analysts projecting the sector to exceed $18 trillion by 2033. Currently, total real-world assets on-chain stand at $24.79 billion, with Ondo Finance’s tokenized portfolio exceeding $1.4 billion. Ondo aims to meet growing investor demand, with tokenized stocks expected to launch for non-U.S. investors in the coming months. This acquisition follows recent developments, including Ondo and Pantera Capital’s plan to invest $250 million in RWA projects.

Nathan Allman, the chief executive officer of Ondo Finance, stated that this acquisition will empower the company to realize its vision of building a robust and accessible tokenized financial system, backed by the strongest regulatory foundations. However, Ondo's entry into the tokenized stocks market will add to a sector already crowded with offers from crypto exchanges and platforms, including Kraken, Robinhood, Gemini, and Bybit, who have all recently unveiled such products.
