Ondo Finance and the Ondo Foundation have launched Ondo Global Markets, a platform that gives investors around the world continuous onchain access to U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This initiative shows that tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) is moving into a new phase. Ondo Global Markets Goes Live Worldwide Ondo Global Markets is now live for eligible investors across Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. Notably, retail and institutional investors in the U.S. and the U.K. remain excluded. However, outside those regions, users can transfer tokenized stocks and ETFs peer-to-peer onchain at any time. At launch, it already supports tokenized versions of major U.S. stocks and ETFs, including Tesla and Apple equities. The platform plans to scale to more than 1,000 assets by the end of the year. Unlike many tokenized stock platforms that have low trading activity or work only in closed systems, Ondo Global Markets focuses on easy access. It lets investors move tokenized stocks across wallets, exchanges, and apps while staying connected to traditional market liquidity. Ondo Finance Secures Strong Industry Backing for New Platform Ondo Finance has teamed up with major industry players to give the new platform strong support from day one. Wallets and services like OKX Wallet, Bitget Wallet, Trust Wallet, BitGo, Ledger, and Gate already work with it. Chainlink serves as the oracle for reliable price data. 1inch, a leading decentralized exchange aggregator that recently suffered a major exploit , has also updated its Swap API to provide smooth access to these tokenized assets. Ondo, which plans to acquire Oasis Pro , is also teaming up with Block Street, a startup building institutional-grade liquidity solutions for tokenized stocks. Block Street introduces “two-way markets. This strategy allows investors to borrow U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoins against tokenized equities. The project is already getting attention, with early support from big trading firms like Citadel, Point72, and Jane Street. Tokenization Race Heats Up as Ondo Expands Global Ambitions The push to tokenize traditional assets is speeding up as Ondo grows its global plans. Kraken and Backed recently broadened their xStocks products to multiple blockchains. At the same time, Bybit and Gate have launched similar offerings. Robinhood has expanded into tokenized equities for European users , and Coinbase is seeking U.S. regulatory approval to bring tokenized stocks to its platform. This growing competition shows that more of the industry is paying attention. A McKinsey report says tokenized assets, not counting stablecoins, could reach $2 trillion in value by 2030. Furthermore, Ondo is also pushing bigger plans with the launch of Ondo Global Markets. Earlier this year, the decentralized finance rolled out Ondo Chain, a blockchain built for institutional finance. It also teamed up with Pantera Capital to invest $250 million in real-world asset projects. These steps highlight a future where traditional markets and blockchain finance work together.
