Ondo Finance expanded its onchain platform by adding 98 tokenized stocks and ETFs, reinforcing its lead in the RWA market with over $365 million issued. The expansion enables 24/7 trading and near-instant settlement for traditional assets on blockchain rails.
Each token remains fully backed 1:1 by regulated, off-chain securities, giving holders economic exposure to major exchanges, including dividend effects. This growth aligns with a rapidly expanding RWA market nearing $700 million in value, while recent SEC closure of its investigation removed a key regulatory overhang.

Multi-Chain Strategy Broadens Access
Ondo Finance expanded its onchain platform by adding 98 tokenized stocks and ETFs, bringing total issuance above $365 million and reinforcing its position in the RWA market. The expansion enables 24/7 trading and near-instant settlement for traditional assets using blockchain rails.
Each token remains fully backed 1:1 by regulated, off-chain securities, providing holders with economic exposure to public markets, including dividend effects. This growth aligns with an RWA market approaching $700 million in value and follows the SEC’s closure of its investigation, removing a key regulatory overhang.
Sophisticated Infrastructure Powers Tokenization
Ondo’s tokenized asset platform relies on infrastructure designed to enforce compliance directly at the asset level, rather than only at exchanges. By embedding regulatory logic into token standards themselves, Ondo ensures rules remain intact regardless of where assets trade.
For its upcoming Solana integration, Ondo plans to use Token Extensions such as Transfer Hooks, which automatically run compliance checks during transfers. These controls verify authorized holders, enforce jurisdictional limits, and restrict interactions with specific smart contracts, allowing compliance to travel with the asset.
This approach combines regulated custody, continuous creation and redemption, and reliable oracle data to deliver tokenized assets that behave like traditional securities while settling at crypto-native speeds.

The Next Wave of Tokenized Finance
Ondo Finance’s expansion marks an early step in a broader shift toward tokenized financial infrastructure. The company plans to outline its long-term vision at the Ondo Summit in February 2026 in New York, bringing together leaders from traditional finance, blockchain, and policy to shape the next phase of tokenization.
With global financial assets estimated near $867 trillion, Ondo is targeting institutional-grade tokenization through initiatives like its $250 million Catalyst program and the launch of Ondo Chain, a Layer 1 built specifically for real-world assets. These efforts aim to support a wider range of assets moving onchain with stronger compliance and scalability.
Growing partnerships with institutions such as State Street, Galaxy Digital, and other global financial players signal rising adoption. Together, these developments position Ondo to play a meaningful role in how financial assets are issued, traded, and managed as tokenization moves into the core of global finance.
