Ondo Finance (ONDO) has just taken another strategic step in the real-world asset (RWA) sector by integrating tokenized US stocks and ETFs into the BNB Chain, one of the world’s most popular blockchain networks, particularly strong in Asia and Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This development allows the 3.4 million daily users of the BNB Chain to buy and sell tokenized shares of giants like Apple, Tesla, and other ETFs 24\/7, directly via Ondo Global Markets, without relying on traditional intermediaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to data from RWA.xyz, the tokenized stock market has more than doubled since August, jumping to $700 million in total value locked (TVL). Ondo itself already accounts for $320 million of this total, consolidating its position as one of the leading tokenization platforms in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tokenization of stocks has been gaining momentum rapidly, with digital brokers and exchanges such as Robinhood, Kraken, Bybit, and Gemini entering this market. Now, Ondo’s arrival on the BNB Chain places it in direct competition with projects like Backed and xStocks (Kraken), which also offer tokenized financial assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to technological expansion, this move reinforces Ondo’s objective of making access to traditional assets more inclusive, especially for non-US investors who face geographical and regulatory barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With this advancement, tokenization takes another step towards becoming one of the main pillars of modern DeFi, connecting the traditional financial market to the crypto universe \u2014 and bringing the future of fully on-chain global finance ever closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
