Ondo Finance Unlocks Tokenized US Stocks for 500M European Investors

Ondo Finance has secured regulatory approval to offer tokenized US stocks and ETFs across the EU and EEA, enabling over 500 million investors to access on-chain assets with 24/7 trading and enhanced transparency.

Ondo Finance, through its subsidiary Ondo Global Markets, has received regulatory approval from Liechtenstein’s Financial Market Authority to offer tokenized US stocks and ETFs across the European Union and the wider European Economic Area. This authorization, enabled by Liechtenstein’s passporting regime, allows more than 500 million investors in 30 European countries to access regulated, on-chain exposure to US equities and ETFs. The platform provides 24/7 trading, faster settlements, reduced transaction costs, and enhanced transparency, with all trades executed and settled on-chain. Ondo’s tokenized assets are fully backed by the underlying securities, held in custody by regulated broker-dealers or custodians. The tokens grant economic exposure but do not confer direct ownership or shareholder rights. Ondo Global Markets is currently the largest platform for tokenized stocks and ETFs, with over $315 million in total value locked and more than $1 billion in cumulative trading volume. This regulatory milestone marks a significant step in integrating traditional financial instruments with blockchain infrastructure, expanding access for retail and institutional investors across Europe.
