Ondo Finance has officially launched Ondo Global Markets, a platform designed to bring real-world equities onchain. The service allows eligible non-U.S. investors to access over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs directly on Ethereum, with assets fully backed 1:1 by securities held at U.S.-registered broker-dealers. By replicating the total economic return of each stock or ETF, these tokens provide investors with continuous exposure while retaining the flexibility of blockchain-based trading.
The platform is supported by a broad ecosystem of integrations, enabling trading and custody through wallets and protocols such as Trust Wallet, Bitget, OKX, Ledger, Chainlink, and 1inch. Execution and custody processes are powered by Alpaca's Broker API, ensuring institutional-grade compliance and security while maintaining seamless DeFi interoperability.
Beyond its launch set of assets, Ondo has announced plans to scale to over 1,000 tokenized securities by year-end. Expansion will also include multi-chain deployment, with rollouts on Solana, BNB Chain, and Ondo's own blockchain, supported by LayerZero interoperability. This rapid scaling signals a decisive step toward "Wall Street onchain," where traditional financial instruments are increasingly mirrored and traded in decentralized environments.
Ondo Finance's tokenization of U.S. stocks and ETFs represents a breakthrough in bridging traditional and decentralized finance. By combining regulatory-grade backing with blockchain flexibility, Ondo Global Markets is setting a precedent for how equity markets can evolve into globally accessible, 24/7 platforms.
