- Ondo launched Perps for stocks, ETFs, and commodities, offering capital-efficient onchain equity derivatives.
- Ondo Global Listing enables U.S. IPO stocks to be tokenized and traded onchain the same day they list.
- EU approval lets investors across 30 markets access tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs under passporting rules.
The Ondo Summit drew more than 200,000 viewers as global financial and policy leaders discussed onchain capital markets. The event featured speakers linked to BlackRock, the White House, Goldman Sachs, and Swift. According to Ondo Finance, the summit focused on expanding access to tokenized stocks, equity derivatives, and regulated onchain infrastructure across U.S. and European markets.
Equity Perpetuals and Day-One IPO Tokenization
At the center of the announcements was the launch of Ondo Perps. According to Ondo Finance, the platform introduces capital-efficient perpetual futures tied to U.S. stocks, ETFs, and commodities. The system relies on institutional-grade infrastructure to support execution, liquidity, and margin efficiency.
Following that, Ondo unveiled Ondo Global Listing. The product allows U.S. IPO stocks to appear onchain the same day they list publicly. According to Ondo Finance, this structure targets investors who historically lacked access to U.S. IPOs. The tokens are designed to remain transferable and compatible across multiple blockchains.
Wallet Access and a New Disclosure Framework
Access formed the next theme. MetaMask added more than 200 Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs to its self-custodial wallet. According to Ondo Finance, users can mint and redeem tokens during market hours and transfer them peer-to-peer at any time. Liquidity comes from traditional exchanges, while tokens remain composable within DeFi applications.
Notably, Ondo Global Markets also filed a confidential registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. According to the firm, the filing supports standardized disclosures for tokenized securities. Once effective, all investors would receive equal access to issuer information.
European Approval Expands Market Reach
The final announcement focused on Europe. Ondo received regulatory approval to list its first group of tokenized stocks and ETFs across the EU and EEA. According to Ondo Finance, the approval followed a previously cleared base prospectus by Liechtenstein’s Financial Market Authority.
As a result, investors across 30 European markets can access tokenized versions of stocks such as Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Tesla, Meta, Google, and the QQQ ETF. The listings operate under passporting rules recognized across the EU and EEA.
