Key Highlights
- Ondo Global Markets exceeded $1 billion in TVL for tokenized stocks and ETFs.
- The platform recorded over $18 billion in trading volume and tens of thousands of holders.
- Tokenized assets on the platform support 24/7 trading and DeFi integrations.
Ondo Finance has reached a new milestone in the real-world asset (RWA) domain, with its Ondo Global Markets platform exceeding a TVL of $1 billion on tokenized stock/ETF assets. The firm said it is the first tokenized equity platform that has managed to achieve a TVL of over a billion dollars in less than eight months.
According to the official update, the network has onboarded tens of thousands of distinct holders and recorded over $18 billion in trading volume. Furthermore, the project has secured more than 70% market share in the tokenized stock category, demonstrating dominance in this new investment class.
In a post on X, Ondo Finance said, “This milestone reflects a generational shift in how global investors access capital markets, one that is more transparent, more accessible, and more efficient than the legacy system.” The company added its long-term ambition with the line, “One billion down. Trillions to go.”
Tokenized stocks listed on the Ondo Global Markets platform have actual stocks stored in custodial accounts. As a result, users can access round-the-clock trading capabilities, fractional ownership rights, instant transaction finality, and the ability to deploy such assets within the DeFi applications for loan origination, collateralization, and yield generation purposes.
Ian De Bode, president of Ondo Finance, said, “Crossing $1 billion in total value locked is a validation of the thesis that global investors want access to U.S. capital markets through infrastructure that is more transparent, more accessible, and more efficient than the legacy system.”
He added that the range of assets held, steady inflows, and institutional integrations indicate that tokenized securities are moving beyond early adoption and becoming a broader capital markets product.
Recent integrations expand utility
Ondo recently expanded the utility of its tokenized assets by enabling them to be bridged to Hyperliquid’s HyperEVM through LayerZero. The newly created bridge has greatly increased the utility of assets from the Ondo ecosystem since they are now able to trade on one of the best decentralized perpetual platforms.
Through this integration, users will now be able to trade on the tokenized U.S. stocks of Ondo Finance on HyperEVM, allowing them to conduct basis trades on their spot and perpetual contracts.
Broader context
The combination of liquidity and accessibility of blockchain technology with economic rights of securities creates new ways to generate capital. Ondo Finance intends to add more tokenized assets to its portfolio and also develop integrations with other blockchain platforms.
The company claims that it will continue working on improving its product based on compliance, security, and development due to the growing institutional demands. The $1B TVL raised by the platform Ondo Global Markets can be seen as a marker of success for the market of tokenized equity.
