- ONDO Finance secures SEC approval to tokenize pre-IPO equity in leading private companies.
- Retail investors gain regulated on-chain access to SpaceX, OpenAI, Databricks, and Anthropic.
- Platform TVL grows steadily, showing institutional adoption before the token price reflects the trend.
ONDO Finance has received SEC approval to tokenize pre-IPO equity in SpaceX, OpenAI, Databricks, and Anthropic. This regulatory clearance provides on-chain access to private unicorns, offering investors opportunities previously restricted to venture capital.
SEC Approval Unlocks Pre-IPO Equity
ONDO Finance now has formal SEC approval to tokenize pre-IPO equity, enabling regulated on-chain access to top private companies. SpaceX, OpenAI, Databricks, and Anthropic are among the first offerings under this framework.
This milestone separates ONDO from traditional Real-World Asset (RWA) projects. While many RWA platforms focus on treasuries or yield-bearing instruments, ONDO is providing regulated exposure to high-demand private equities.
Investors gain early access to companies historically reserved for venture capital and institutional funds. The approval allows ONDO Finance to operate within compliance guidelines, ensuring that tokenized shares meet regulatory standards.
By structuring offerings under SEC supervision, the platform increases trust among institutional participants and legitimizes unicorn equity tokenization on-chain.
From Treasury Bills to Unicorn Access
Most Real-World Asset projects are associated with low-risk instruments like treasury bills. ONDO Finance challenges this perception by offering exposure to high-value private companies instead.
Tokenized pre-IPO equity allows retail and institutional investors to access companies before IPO events. The market is accustomed to VCs, insiders, and sovereign funds receiving these gains.
ONDO’s platform opens a regulated channel for broader participation. Total Value Locked (TVL) in ONDO Finance shows consistent growth despite price volatility.
This indicates capital inflows are focused on infrastructure and asset access rather than short-term trading, supporting long-term positioning in private equity tokenization.
Institutional Adoption and Market Position
Institutional participation in ONDO Finance grows as the platform builds compliant infrastructure. SEC approval signals regulatory alignment, which attracts capital from professional investors.
The 21Shares ONDO Trust supports ETF exposure to tokenized assets, providing additional institutional confidence. This mechanism strengthens TVL while ensuring the tokenized equities remain fully regulated.
ONDO Finance’s approach differs from niche RWA competitors. By focusing on equities across multiple sectors, the platform builds horizontal infrastructure.
Its regulated tokenization of private unicorns positions ONDO as a gateway for global capital allocation into pre-IPO markets.
