Ondo Finance Redefines Global Access With Tokenized U.S. Stocks

Ondo Finance has expanded its footprint in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) by launching its Ondo Global Markets platform, providing non-U.S. investors with access to over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs on the Ethereum blockchain. This move aligns with a growing trend among crypto platforms to bring traditional financial assets onto blockchain infrastructure. The firm's tokenized equities, including shares of Apple and Nvidia, are fully backed by U.S. stocks and ETFs held at registered broker-dealers, with cash in transit ensuring security and liquidity for investors in regions such as Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, and Latin America [1].

The launch has been accompanied by a notable price movement for Ondo’s native token, ONDO, which surged over 6% to near the $1 mark, reflecting bullish sentiment in the market. This price rally coincided with broader crypto market corrections, suggesting that ONDO’s performance is driven by both macroeconomic factors and the specific momentum around tokenized assets. The token’s value reached $0.96 at the time of the report, with recent trading data indicating a 4.3% increase compared to the previous day [2].

Ondo Finance’s strategic expansion is not limited to Ethereum. The firm plans to extend its tokenized asset offerings to BNB Chain, Solana, and its own Ondo Chain by the end of 2025. This cross-chain deployment is supported by partnerships with major infrastructure providers, including BitGo, Ledger, and Chainlink, as well as a range of crypto wallets such as Trust Wallet and OKX Wallet. These collaborations aim to ensure seamless interoperability and broad accessibility for tokenized securities [1].

The launch of Ondo Global Markets is being positioned as a “breakthrough” in financial access, with the platform enabling 24/5 minting and redemption of tokenized assets. Investors benefit from economic returns equivalent to the underlying assets, including price movements, dividends, and corporate actions. This is a significant development in the tokenization space, where earlier attempts have struggled with regulatory compliance, liquidity, and interoperability. According to Jamie Elkaleh of Bitget, the initiative successfully addresses these hurdles by combining regulated backing with blockchain accessibility [2].

Looking ahead, Ondo Finance aims to expand its tokenized asset portfolio beyond 1,000 assets, with a focus on increasing global liquidity and accessibility. The firm’s approach mirrors the success of stablecoins in digitizing the U.S. dollar, aiming to replicate that model with tokenized U.S. securities. As the tokenization of RWAs continues to gain traction, Ondo’s platform is poised to play a pivotal role in bridging traditional finance and blockchain-based markets.
