Ondo Global Markets Launches 100+ Tokenized U.S. Stocks on Ethereum

Wall Street Meets DeFi:Ondo Global Markets Brings Stocks Onchain

Ondo Global Markets just launched, and the simplest way to think about it: what stablecoins did for dollars, it is trying to do for stocks. The company went live with tokenized versions of 100+ U.S. stocks and ETFs on Ethereum, aimed at non-U.S. investors who want 24/7, fractional access to big-name equities with traditional-market liquidity and institutional protections. This is the biggest rollout yet and, by their count, the largest tokenized-equities launch in history.

Ondo Global Markets launches with support from many of the world's leading applications and platforms, which are below:

How it actually works

• It buys the real security through a broker-dealer.  A regulated custodian holds the underlying asset.  

• The buyer receives a token representing that exposure  instantly onchain.  

• Minting and redemption are designed to be fast so arbitrage keeps onchain prices aligned with market prices, which helps limit slippage. 

• That design is a core differentiator company highlights versus earlier tokenization attempts that saw big premiums or poor depth.  

Why this matters to everyday investors  

For investors outside the U.S., Ondo Global Markets can lower access barriers: fractional ownership of expensive stocks, near-instant settlement onchain, and the ability to use those positions inside DeFi strategies 24/7 (subject to jurisdictional limits). It’s not a total replacement for brokerages — custody, legal rights (voting, lending), and tax implications still follow TradFi rules — but it blends TradFi liquidity with blockchain programmability.

Multichain plan — Wall Street 2.0 goes wider

The OndoGlobal Markets launch ships on Ethereum now, with plans for BNB Chain, Solana, Ondo Chain, and more. Firm already announced integrations with wallets and custodians like Trust Wallet, Bitget Wallet, Ledger, Fireblocks, CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap listing support, and broker-API partners such as Alpaca to speed token issuance and scale. Commentary from industry outlets calls this one of the more robust attempts at tokenization so far, largely because of the emphasis on custody, third-party verification, and a structure designed to be bankruptcy-remote. “This is just the beginning for Wall Street 2.0,” Ondo wrote on Twitter.

Highest Standards for Tokenized Equities: Secure, Verified, Enforced

Ondo global markets is a meaningful step toward “Wall Street 2.0”: real securities on blockchain rails, backed by regulated custody and designed for low slippage and onchain utility. The idea is brilliant in design and heavy on execution needs — liquidity, regulatory clarity, and real user adoption will decide whether this is an industry milestone or an interesting experiment.
