TL:DR
- Ondo Finance expands its platform to the BNB Chain network.
- Tokenized securities market exceeds $700 million.
- Platform facilitates 24-hour access for non-US investors.
Ondo Finance has expanded its tokenized securities platform to the BNB Chain network. This integration makes over one hundred U.S. stocks and exchange-traded funds available to the chain’s user base. BNB Chain records approximately 3.4 million daily active users. These users can now access tokenized versions of assets like Apple stock and various ETFs through Ondo Global Markets.
The service operates continuously, allowing trading outside traditional market hours. Its structure primarily targets investors outside the United States. These investors often encounter obstacles when attempting to access U.S. financial markets directly. Geographic restrictions and regulatory complexities can create such barriers.
The total value locked in tokenized public securities has increased substantially since August. Data from RWA.xyz indicates the market value has grown from previous levels to approach seven hundred million dollars. This expansion follows broader adoption by digital trading platforms. Several major crypto exchanges and digital brokerages began offering on-chain equity trading earlier this year.
Tokenized Securities Market Expansion
Ondo’s move onto BNB Chain places it in direct competition with existing services. Other projects, including Backed and Kraken’s xStocks, also provide tokenized financial instruments on the same network. The strategic expansion leverages BNB Chain’s established presence in key geographic regions. The network maintains a substantial user base across Asia and Latin America.
Since its launch in September, Ondo Global Markets has accumulated about three hundred twenty million dollars in total value locked. This figure positions the platform as one of the larger participants in the tokenized securities sector.
The ongoing growth reflects increasing institutional and retail interest in blending traditional finance with blockchain-based accessibility. This convergence allows for new forms of market participation across different regulatory jurisdictions.
