Production-Grade Tokenized Stocks: Chainlink and Ondo's Institutional-Grade Partnership

Chainlink Named Oracle Provider for Ondo's Tokenized Assets

Ondo Finance, a leader in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), has partnered with Chainlink to serve as the official oracle provider for its growing portfolio of tokenized stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The collaboration, announced on October 30, 2025, aims to enhance the accuracy and reliability of financial data across blockchain networks, supporting over 100 tokenized equities and ETFs on Ondo's platform. The integration also leverages Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to facilitate seamless asset transfers between blockchains, positioning the partnership as a key development in institutional-grade tokenization, according to a CoinDesk report.

Under the agreement, Chainlink will supply custom price feeds for Ondo's tokenized assets, including critical corporate actions such as dividend payments. These data inputs will ensure consistent valuations across 10 supported blockchains, where Ondo's platform currently holds over $320 million in total value locked (TVL). The partnership extends to Ondo's recent expansion onto the BNB Chain, broadening access for non-U.S. investors seeking exposure to U.S. markets. Chainlink's infrastructure will also standardize pricing and corporate-action tracking, addressing challenges in cross-chain data consistency that have historically hindered tokenized asset adoption, as noted in a Bitcoin.com post.

The collaboration marks a strategic step for Ondo, which has positioned itself as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain. By integrating Chainlink's oracle network, the firm aims to enable institutions, asset managers, and protocol developers to participate in onchain capital markets with greater confidence. Sergey Nazarov, co-founder of Chainlink, emphasized the partnership's significance, stating, "Ondo's deployment of tokenized stocks using Chainlink showcases what institutional-grade tokenized stocks look like in production," according to a Crypto.News article. Ondo's tokenized equities now span 10 blockchains and include U.S.-listed stocks and ETFs, reflecting the firm's ambition to scale tokenization across global financial systems.

The partnership also aligns with broader industry efforts to modernize market infrastructure. Ondo has joined Chainlink's corporate actions initiative, which includes 24 major financial institutions such as Swift, DTCC, and Euroclear. This collaboration aims to develop standardized mechanisms for handling tokenized securities, including settlement and reporting processes. Meanwhile, Chainlink's CCIP is being tested by traditional finance firms for cross-chain asset transfers, signaling growing institutional interest in blockchain interoperability, according to Bitcoin.com.

Ondo's founder and CEO, Nathan Allman, highlighted the partnership's potential to redefine capital markets: "By adopting Chainlink as the official oracle infrastructure for our tokenized stocks, we're making our assets seamlessly composable across DeFi and institutional rails," a point also covered by Crypto.News. The firm's tokenized securities now cater to non-U.S. investors facing restrictions in traditional brokerage systems, a demographic Chainlink's data infrastructure aims to serve more effectively.

The move underscores a broader trend of institutional adoption in tokenized assets. With over $35 billion in real-world assets now represented on blockchains, according to rwa.xyz, platforms like Ondo are capitalizing on demand for faster settlements, lower costs, and enhanced transparency. The integration of Chainlink's oracle network addresses a critical need for secure, real-time data in these markets, reinforcing trust in tokenized financial instruments.
