Ondo Finance (ONDO) Price: Token Rises 6% Following Launch of 100+ Tokenized Assets Maisie Morrison | usagoldmines.com

Ondo Finance has seen its native token ONDO climb in value after announcing a major expansion of its tokenized asset offerings. The Layer 1 blockchain protocol revealed plans to give non-US investors access to over 100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs through its new Ondo Global Markets platform on the Ethereum blockchain.

The news pushed ONDO’s price up by more than 6%, approaching the $1 mark after starting the week at $0.86. This price movement stands out during a period when much of the crypto market has been in correction.

Ondo Global Markets aims to serve as a gateway for global investors seeking exposure to US financial markets. The platform targets eligible investors in regions including Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America.

The service is currently live on Ethereum, with plans to expand to other blockchain networks. These include BNB Chain, Solana, and Ondo’s own Ondo Chain.

Both retail and institutional investors outside the US can use the platform to mint and redeem tokenized versions of US stocks and ETFs. Trading is available 24 hours a day, five days a week, using traditional exchange liquidity where applicable.

According to Ondo, these tokenized assets are fully backed by the actual securities, which are held with registered US broker-dealers. Each token mirrors the performance of its underlying asset, providing investors with the same economic returns they would receive from owning the actual stocks or ETFs.

Expanding Financial Access Through Blockchain

Nathan Allman, Founder and CEO of Ondo Finance, described the new platform as a “breakthrough in financial access.” He highlighted how it allows global investors to access the largest selection of transferable tokenized US stocks and ETFs available on-chain.

Allman drew parallels between tokenized stocks and how stablecoins have brought the US dollar into digital markets. The comparison suggests Ondo sees its offering as similarly transformative for global investment.

An Ondo Finance spokesperson explained that tokenizing stocks serves a similar function to USD-pegged stablecoins but for equity markets. They pointed out how tokenized Treasuries have seen explosive growth, increasing by over 7,000% since 2023.

This growth reflects real market needs: 24/7 access to dollar-denominated assets and the ability to hold yield-generating stablecoins. Ondo claims to be a pioneer in this space, with over $1.4 billion in total value locked (TVL) across ten different blockchain networks.

Widespread Industry Support

To support the new tokenized stock service, Ondo has secured backing from many major crypto infrastructure providers. These include popular wallets and exchanges such as Bitget Wallet, Trust Wallet, and OKX Wallet, as well as oracle provider Chainlink.

This extensive support network should make it easier for investors to access and manage their tokenized equity positions across various on-chain applications.

At the time of writing, ONDO trades at $0.96, making it one of the few tokens showing gains across all timeframes. While the cryptocurrency has grown by 60% year-to-date, it remains 54% below its all-time high of $2.
