- Ondo expands tokenized U.S. stocks on BNB, doubling market to $700M.
- Non-U.S. investors benefit from new opportunities.
- BNB Chain enhances access to real-world equities onchain.
Ondo Global Markets has launched over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs on the BNB Chain, led by Nathan Allman, targeting non-U.S. investors with a $700 million market growth.
The expansion enhances global access to real-world equities via DeFi, boosts liquidity on BNB Chain, and underscores significant interest in tokenized securities.
Ondo Global Markets, led by Nathan Allman, launched over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs on BNB Chain. This marks a major expansion into a $700 million market, offering equities access to non-U.S. investors, primarily in Asia and Latin America.
BNB Chain, home to 3.4 million users, enables 24/7 trading of these assets through platforms like PancakeSwap. Nathan Allman stated that the initiative offers a fast, cost-efficient, and interoperable trading environment for tokenized stocks.
Market size for tokenized securities has doubled since 2025, reaching nearly $700 million. Ondo accounts for over $350 million locked, with $669 million in onchain trading volume. PancakeSwap sees substantial liquidity from these real-world assets.
The expansion impacts BNB Chain’s ecosystem, facilitating trading and settlement of tokenized assets in a DeFi ecosystem. Ethereum ETH -2.99% and BNB-based tokens experience increased liquidity, potentially affecting key governance tokens like ONDO and CAKE.
Ondo’s move marks a significant evolution in financial product access globally. The initiative challenges geographic and traditional financial constraints, offering global investors unprecedented access to tokenized equities.
“BNB Chain is home to one of the largest and most engaged global user bases in Web3,” said Nathan Allman, Founder and CEO of Ondo Finance. “Expanding Ondo Global Markets to BNB Chain allows us to bring tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs to users across Asia, Latin America, and beyond—in a fast, cost-efficient, and highly interoperable environment.”
Historically, similar tokenized equity launches bolster liquidity inflows and positively influence governance tokens. However, regulatory scrutiny remains a consideration. BNB Chain, leveraging its engaged global user base, maintains leadership in real-world asset tokenization.
