Key Takeaways:
Ondo Finance has officially launched Ondo Global Markets, ushering in what it calls “Wall Street 2.0”, a new era of tokenized securities that brings U.S. equities directly onto the blockchain. The platform delivers unprecedented onchain access to major U.S. stocks and ETFs with full liquidity, verified backing, and interoperability with the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

With the introduction of Ondo Global Markets, the greatest number of tokenized equities in history were released, and global investors now gain 24/7 access to tokenized shares of such household brands as Apple, Google, and Nvidia. It has in excess of 100 assets in operation, and intends to have over 1,000 by the end of 2025.
The platform recorded over $70 million in trading volume within hours of launch and as the momentum behind the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) grew. The ONDO token itself recorded a 33% spike in trading volume, signaling strong investor interest and confidence in the project.
“What stablecoins did for dollars, Ondo is doing for stocks,” the company posted on X.
These tokenized equities are currently live on Ethereum, with upcoming support for BNB Chain, Solana, and Ondo Chain, ensuring cross-chain accessibility. Non-U.S. users can instantly mint, redeem, and transfer tokenized shares around the clock, breaking away from the time-bound constraints of traditional equity markets.
Ondo Global Markets is a direct beneficiary of traditional exchange liquidity, unlike past efforts at tokenizing stocks that were plagued by poor liquidity, price dislocation, and silos within markets. This severely limits the slippage and makes the onchain price of tokenized stocks closely track the underlying assets.
Key differentiators include:

Here’s how tokenized assets work under the hood:
In case of price deviations between the onchain token and the underlying stock, tokens may be minted or redeemed by arbitrageurs to re-price the markets, reducing long-term dislocation – which is a major problem with prior tokenization models.
