Ondo Finance Bridges U.S. Securities to Ethereum Under SEC Guidelines

The initiative utilizes a framework aligned with a January 2025 SEC staff statement, ensuring that underlying assets remain within regulated U.S. custody rails rather than moving directly onto the ledger. Oasis Pro, a registered transfer agent, issues Ethereum-based tokens backed 1:1 by the securities, while Broadridge handles proxy voting and regulatory disclosures. This structure intends to provide token holders with the same rights as those holding stocks through conventional brokerage accounts.

CEO Ian De Bode stated the milestone confirms the company’s ability to navigate U.S. market requirements while integrating tokenized assets into existing financial infrastructure. Despite the technical achievement, the offering remains restricted to eligible international users outside the United States. This development arrives as the competitive landscape for tokenized real-world assets intensifies, with major players like Securitize and Robinhood expanding their blockchain initiatives. Citi analysts project the broader market for tokenized securities could grow to $5.5 trillion by 2030, a forecast supported by growing institutional involvement from firms like the DTCC, NYSE, and Nasdaq.
