Key Highlights
- Ondo launched the industry’s first 24/7 minting and redemption service for tokenized stocks and ETFs.
- The feature is live on Ethereum and BNB Chain, with Solana integration coming soon.
- Six tokenized assets are initially supported, including Nvidia, Tesla, Google, Circle, SPY, and QQQ.
Ondo Finance today launched what it describes as the industry’s first 24/7 minting and redemption service for tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking another step toward creating always-on global capital markets.
According to an official announcement, eligible users can now mint and redeem select tokenized securities at any time, including weekends and U.S. public holidays. The upgrade is currently available across Ethereum and BNB Chain, with support for Solana expected in the near future.
Moving beyond traditional market hours
Until now, Ondo Global Markets has allowed users to transfer tokenized stocks around the clock but limited minting and redemption to a 24/7 schedule that pauses during weekends in line with traditional U.S. equity markets. With the latest rollout, users can now create or redeem supported tokenized securities continuously, eliminating one of the last restrictions linking tokenized assets to conventional trading schedules.
Ondo stated that users will be able to mint or redeem assets “around the clock at the current prevailing price,” creating a seamless experience throughout the full lifecycle of tokenized securities.
What investors can access today
The rollout initially covers six of Ondo’s most actively traded tokenized securities: SPYon, QQQon, CRCLon, NVDAon, TSLAon, and GOOGLon.
The company said additional tokenized stocks and ETFs will be introduced over time as it continues expanding its always-on tokenized securities infrastructure. Ondo said demand for tokenized real-world assets continues to grow as investors seek exposure to traditional financial products through blockchain-based infrastructure that operates without market-hour limitations.
While several platforms currently support 24/7 transfers of tokenized assets through decentralized exchanges and secondary markets, Ondo claims this is the first time users can directly mint and redeem tokenized stocks and ETFs at any time. The move allows investors to enter or exit positions even when U.S. stock markets are closed.
How tokenized stocks fit into DeFi
Ondo noted that tokenized stocks on its platform already benefit from continuous transferability and integration across decentralized finance protocols. The company said its tokenized securities can be used as collateral across platforms, including Ondo Perps, Morpho, Euler, and other DeFi ecosystems.
By extending minting and redemption to a 24/7 model, Ondo said tokenized securities could become more liquid and useful across blockchain-based financial applications.
Ondo continues building tokenized market infrastructure
The launch follows Ondo’s broader expansion in tokenized securities. Earlier this year, the company introduced more than 200 tokenized U.S. stocks on Solana and recently partnered with Mirae Asset to tokenize products from its Global X ETF lineup. According to Ondo, the platform currently offers more than 430 tokenized stocks and ETFs across Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.
The company also stated that Ondo Global Markets recently became the first tokenized stock platform to surpass $1 billion in total value locked (TVL), exceeding the combined TVL of competing tokenized equity platforms. Ondo said the latest upgrade reflects a broader shift toward financial infrastructure that operates continuously rather than within traditional market hours.
As tokenized equities gain traction among both crypto-native and traditional investors, the company believes round-the-clock access will become an increasingly important feature for global capital markets.
