Key Highlights
- Oasis Pro Markets secured SEC and FINRA authorization to offer tokenized equities and funds to U.S. investors.
- Retail and institutional users can access tokenized stocks, IPOs, ETFs, mutual funds, and index funds.
- The platform supports blockchain settlement using fiat currencies or approved stablecoins, including wallet-to-wallet transfers.
Ondo Finance, a decentralized finance platform, announced on Thursday that its SEC-registered broker-dealer subsidiary, Oasis Pro Markets, has secured regulatory authorization to offer tokenized equities and funds to U.S. investors.
According to the official announcement, the approvals from the SEC and FINRA allow Oasis Pro Markets to provide compliant access to tokenized securities for both retail and institutional investors across the country.
The platform will support a range of activities, including OTC retailing, underwritten primary offerings, private placements, and secondary trading. U.S. investors will gain access to publicly traded equities, including IPOs, as well as fund interests such as ETFs, mutual funds, and index funds. Settlements can occur in fiat currencies or supported stablecoins, including direct wallet-to-wallet transfers on the blockchain.
What this means for U.S. investors
According to the company, the authorization allows Ondo to bring tokenization, 24/7 trading, near-instant settlement, and fractional ownership directly to U.S. investors. These features have already been available to international users, but regulatory hurdles had previously limited domestic access.
“Ondo brought Wall Street to the world through tokenization. Now, with regulatory approvals for Oasis Pro Markets secured, we’re built to bring tokenization to American investors, institutions, and capital markets,” the company stated.
Oasis Pro Markets LLC operates as an SEC-registered broker-dealer and alternative trading system and is a member of FINRA/SIPC.
Builds on Ondo’s earlier expansion
In a separate development, earlier this month, Ondo Finance expanded its tokenized securities offering on Solana by introducing 24/7 minting and redemption for select U.S. stocks and ETFs. The rollout initially covers six assets, NVDAon, TSLAon, GOOGLon, SPYon, QQQon, and CRCLon, allowing investors to create or redeem tokenized shares around the clock, even outside traditional U.S. market hours.
Earlier in 2026, Ondo launched over 200 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs on Solana, providing blockchain-based exposure through Jupiter’s RFQ system with just-in-time minting during regular trading hours.
Questions remain as tokenization expands
While the approvals broaden access to tokenized securities, the expansion also highlights challenges associated with integrating traditional financial assets with blockchain infrastructure.
Trading tokenized equities may expose investors to risks such as smart contract vulnerabilities, liquidity constraints, and evolving regulatory requirements. In addition, using stablecoins for settlement introduces operational and compliance considerations that continue to develop alongside the broader regulatory framework.
As tokenized securities become more widely available, market participants and regulators will likely continue assessing how these products fit within existing securities laws and investor protection standards.
