Ondo Finance has expanded its tokenized equity offerings through an integration with BNB Chain, enabling users to trade over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The collaboration facilitates fractional ownership and around-the-clock trading access while enhancing liquidity and near-instant settlement capabilities.
As part of this strategic alignment, BNB Chain has joined Ondo Finance’s Global Markets Alliance – an industry coalition dedicated to unifying tokenization protocols to accelerate adoption of tokenized financial products. This partnership aims to establish standardized frameworks for real-world asset tokenization across blockchain networks.
The integration enables continuous trading of traditional equity assets via decentralized finance mechanisms, eliminating conventional market hour restrictions. Initial market response showed modest declines in platform tokens, with ONDO dipping 1.94% to $0.9252 and BNB trading near $686.03 following the announcement.
Observers note this collaboration sets a precedent for deeper integration between traditional finance and decentralized ecosystems. By bridging access to mainstream financial instruments like U.S. stocks and ETFs, Ondo Finance and BNB Chain advance a core tenet of decentralized finance: democratizing institutional-grade investment opportunities.
