Ondo Finance added 173 tokenized stocks and ETFs to Ondo Global Markets on Tuesday, pushing its catalog past 430 assets available across Ethereum, Solana, and $BNB Chain.
Ondo Finance’s official X account announced the expansion on June 17. The batch spans some of the most capital-intensive corners of public markets: AI, robotics, quantum computing, defense tech, critical materials, and data center energy. Also included are BlackRock active ETFs and covered call income strategies, products largely inaccessible to crypto-native investors before tokenization. Analytics platform Birdeye added support for all 173 new assets, bringing its tracked Ondo Finance total past 430 as well.
The Platform Behind the Catalog
Ondo Global Markets is a tokenized-securities platform that gives non-US investors onchain access to publicly traded U.S. stocks and ETFs. Each token is backed 1:1 by the underlying security, purchased and held in custody by a U.S.-registered broker-dealer. Tokens track the total return of the underlying position, including dividends, and can be minted or redeemed around the clock on weekdays. The platform crossed $1 billion in total value locked on May 11, the first tokenized-stocks platform to reach that threshold, in under eight months from launch. Cumulative trading volume has surpassed $18 billion.
Ondo Finance holds more than 70% market share among tokenized equity issuers, per RWA.xyz. Its reach extends through integrations with Binance, MetaMask, Blockchain.com, and Ledger hardware wallets. In April, Ondo partnered with Broadridge Financial Solutions to let tokenized-stock holders submit proxy votes on underlying shares, a governance feature rare in the tokenized-asset space. Ondo is also in the process of acquiring Oasis Pro, a U.S. SEC-registered broker-dealer and alternative trading system, to extend its regulated infrastructure toward domestic U.S. access.
Multi-Chain Delivery
The 173 new assets went live across all three supported chains simultaneously. That approach avoids a recurring problem in tokenized-securities rollouts: liquidity concentrating on a single network while users on other chains cannot access the same catalog.
$BNB Chain joined Ondo Global Markets in October 2025. Solana launched with over 200 tokenized U.S. equities in early 2026 and has since become the largest network for Ondo-backed assets by count. Ethereum remains the foundation of the platform’s institutional integrations.
The sector spread in this batch reflects where institutional and retail capital has concentrated in public markets. AI infrastructure, defense contractors, robotics, and quantum computing have each drawn sustained inflows over the past year. Critical materials and data center energy extend that theme into the physical infrastructure supporting the technology expansion.
Context in the RWA Arc
Tokenized stocks have emerged as the fastest-growing asset class on Ethereum in 2026, with Ondo and xStocks leading the sector, according to Token Terminal data. The category runs alongside tokenized Treasuries, where Franklin Templeton alone has exceeded $2.5 billion in assets under management.
The expansion follows Ondo’s tokenization of five Franklin Templeton ETFs in March, which brought growth, large-cap, fixed income, equity income, and gold funds onchain. Felix, a protocol built on Hyperliquid, launched access to over 250 Ondo-backed tokenized equities in March, extending the catalog into perpetuals and derivatives infrastructure.
An Ondo executive said in May the company expects the tokenized equity market to reach between $2.5 billion and $3 billion by year-end, per TheStreet. Adding 173 assets in a single batch, across three chains at once, is the most direct expression of that trajectory so far. Ondo has not publicly disclosed how much of the new batch has been minted since the June 17 announcement.
