Ondo Finance ($ONDO) expands its Global Markets platform to BNB Chain, offering tokenized US stocks and ETFs to millions worldwide, boosting accessibility and liquidity.
Ondo Finance ($ONDO) has announced the expansion of its Ondo Global Markets platform to the BNB Chain, a strategic move aimed at broadening access to tokenized US stocks and ETFs for millions of users globally. This development marks a significant milestone for Ondo Finance as it seeks to democratize the availability of high-quality US financial assets through blockchain technology, according to Crypto.ro.
Launched in September 2025, Ondo Global Markets has quickly grown to become the largest platform of its kind by total value locked (TVL), boasting nearly $320 million as of late October, as reported by Defillama. The platform has also processed over $669 million in total onchain volume since its inception.
BNB Chain Integration
BNB Chain, recognized as one of the world's most utilized blockchains, now hosts Ondo's tokenized stocks and ETFs, making Ondo the first platform to offer such services at scale on this blockchain. The integration grants BNB Chain's 3.4 million daily active users access to over 100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs, supported by prominent ecosystem projects like PancakeSwap.
Data from Token Terminal indicates a rise in BNB Chain's activity, with October recording 58.4 million active addresses, up from 52.5 million in September, highlighting the network's expanding user base and DeFi ecosystem.
Cross-Chain Strategy and Future Plans
The expansion aligns with Ondo Finance's cross-chain strategy to integrate with core infrastructure partners and enhance global access to tokenized securities. Ondo Global Markets has been deployed on Ethereum and plans further expansions to ensure the seamless movement of tokenized assets across major blockchain networks.
Real-World Assets Growth
Sarah Song, Head of Business Development at BNB Chain, emphasized that real-world assets (RWAs) are among the fastest-growing segments on the BNB Chain. The partnership with Ondo Finance is expected to further this momentum, aiming to expand access to high-liquidity financial assets and bridge traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi).
Global Reach and Accessibility
Nathan Allman, Ondo Finance's founder and CEO, highlighted the significance of this expansion in bringing tokenized US stocks and ETFs to a diverse user base across Asia, Latin America, and beyond. The BNB Chain's fast, cost-efficient, and interoperable environment facilitates this global outreach, making US markets more accessible via blockchain technology.
Ondo Finance's token, $ONDO, is recognized among the top real-world asset coins to watch in 2025, showcasing the platform's innovative approach to financial accessibility.
