TL;DR
- BNB Chain joined Ondo Finance’s Global Markets Alliance and will enable over 100 tokenized U.S. stocks, ETFs, and funds on its network.
- The agreement aims to integrate traditional assets into blockchain environments, with shared standards for interoperability, liquidity, and regulatory compliance.
- Ondo Finance plans to expand its onchain markets with the support of BNB Chain, one of the most widely adopted blockchains globally.
BNB Chain confirmed its integration into the Global Markets Alliance led by Ondo Finance, a network that brings together wallets, exchanges, custodians, and infrastructure providers with the goal of establishing common standards for the tokenization of traditional assets.
The addition of BNB Chain not only expands the alliance’s membership but will also provide access to over 100 tokenized assets, including U.S. stocks, ETFs, and funds within its ecosystem.
The initiative seeks to bring traditional financial instruments into blockchain ecosystems while maintaining the liquidity and efficiency of conventional financial markets. Ondo Finance already offers these products on other onchain environments and, with this integration, will bring its full asset suite to one of the most globally adopted networks. This will allow BNB Chain users to trade tokenized stocks and funds using the infrastructure of their native blockchain.
The agreement also includes technical and regulatory collaboration related to interoperability, investor protection, and liquidity management. The alliance aims to create standardized conditions so that any interested platform can list and trade tokenized assets under shared criteria, helping to prevent further fragmentation between networks.
BNB Chain Aims to Become the Foundation for RWA Adoption
BNB Chain stated that this integration aligns with its goal of becoming the foundational layer for the adoption of tokenized real-world assets. Adding traditional assets with proven liquidity and clear legal frameworks will improve investment opportunities and available tools for users, strengthening the decentralized financial ecosystem.
For Ondo Finance, adding BNB Chain is key to its expansion strategy, given the scale and global reach of the blockchain. Nathan Allman, the company’s founder and CEO, noted that this agreement will enhance their ability to build institutional-grade capital markets on onchain infrastructure, making regulated financial products accessible within a decentralized system.
The deal reflects the growing interest among leading blockchain networks in capturing the potential of tokenized assets, one of the market segments expected to see the highest growth in the Web3 ecosystem over the coming years.
