On September 3, 2025, Ondo Global Markets debuted, offering over 100 tokenized stocks and ETFs on the Ethereum blockchain.
What is Ondo Global Markets
Ondo Global Markets is a platform that tokenizes real-world assets by turning stocks and ETFs into digital tokens on Ethereum. Each token is backed by a real asset, ensuring security and compliance.
Benefits of Tokenization
Tokenization allows users worldwide to create and trade tokens using stablecoins, facilitating 24/7 transactions. It cuts settlement times from days to seconds and reduces transaction fees. For example, investors can buy fractional shares of Tesla (TSLA) for just a few cents using cryptocurrency.
Future of Asset Tokenization
The launch of Ondo Global Markets comes amid a surge in interest for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, which spans various scales, from government bonds to art. According to rwa.xyz, the value of tokenized U.S. Treasuries reached $3.5 billion in 2025, quadrupling from the previous year. This unlocks potential for fractional ownership and access to assets via different blockchains.
With the launch of Ondo Global Markets, asset tokenization reaches new heights, potentially significantly impacting traditional financial markets and opening new opportunities for investors.
