Ondo Finance plans to offer tokenized shares of Anthropic to eligible non-U.S. investors, coinciding with the AI firm's anticipated IPO. These tokens will trace the per-share value at liquidity events without granting direct equity. Anthropic, known for its Claude AI models, has filed for a Nasdaq listing under the ticker "ANT," though IPO details remain undisclosed. The move signals rising interest in regulated, on-chain investments in leading AI companies. Market pricing suggests increasing confidence that Anthropic's market cap could surpass $1.25 trillion on IPO day. Investors will watch for SEC filings on pricing and share count, as revisions could shift market expectations.

Ondo Finance has launched 15 tokenized stocks and ETFs on Robinhood Chain, including Nvidia, Apple, and Tesla, with 11 Uniswap v4 StablePair liquidity pools to improve weekend trading and reduce price gaps. The tokens can be bridged from Ethereum and BNB Chain via Ondo Bridge. The integration allows traders to swap between Ondo and Robinhood versions of the same asset, and arbitrage opportunities could help align prices when traditional markets are closed. Ondo Stocks has reached about $1.3 billion in total value locked with over 450,000 holders.

Ondo Finance and Superstate led weekly growth in the tokenized US Treasury bill market, adding $41.6 million and $34.2 million in market cap respectively over seven days, according to Token Terminal data. Ondo's gains followed its milestone of crossing $3 billion in total tokenized US Treasury assets on October 13, 2026, making it the leading platform by assets. Its flagship product, USDY, held approximately $2.328 billion, edging past BlackRock's BUIDL at $2.2 billion, though Circle's USYC remained the largest single fund at roughly $2.38 billion. The total tokenized US Treasury market was valued at between $14.9 billion and $15.5 billion in mid-October 2026, with Ondo representing about a fifth of the sector. Superstate's USTB product is now marketed under the Invesco Short Duration US Government Securities Fund branding. However, usage of these tokenized assets in decentralized finance remains low, estimated at only 0.4% to 2%, as most are held for yield rather than deployed as collateral.

Ondo Finance's dominance of the tokenized equities market has narrowed, with its share falling from 56% to 26% between January and early October, as new entrants like Binance and Robinhood gained ground, according to DWF Labs. The sector grew 483% to $3.8 billion, with Ondo still leading at about $1 billion, while Binance's bStocks and xStocks each captured roughly 24-25% of the market. On-chain activity surged 41.8-fold in weekly transfer volume to $17.5 billion, and DeFi adoption grew 20-fold in active total value locked to $313 million. Ethereum's market share declined from 50% to 22%, while BNB Chain rose to 32%, with Avalanche newly holding 9%. Despite this growth, tokenized equities remain small versus traditional markets, estimated at $75 trillion in the US.

Citrini Research has published a 79-page report titled 'Breaking The Wall,' arguing that tokenized assets and agentic AI will drive value to fee-earning crypto infrastructure rather than simple Bitcoin or Ether holdings. The firm's recommended tokens include Aave, Uniswap, ether.fi, Pendle, and Ondo, which together make up 29% of a sample 15-token portfolio. It also holds public equity stakes in Securitize, Circle, and Coinbase. The report cautions that increased blockchain activity does not guarantee higher token prices.

Ondo Finance launched Ondo Private Markets on October 6, 2026, offering tokenized notes that provide eligible non-US investors economic exposure to private companies, starting with a pre-IPO AI firm. The notes track the company's per-share value at a liquidity event but do not confer ownership or voting rights, and are issuer obligations. Secondary trading is expected to begin this week on a 24/7 basis. Acting CEO Ian De Bode cited that 87% of US companies with over $100 million in revenue remain private, and Ondo plans future offerings in robotics, cybersecurity, biotech, and other sectors. The platform builds on Ondo's existing tokenized Treasuries and equities, which have over $3.7 billion in total value locked. Holders face issuer risk, and the product currently excludes US investors due to regulatory considerations.

Ondo Finance launched Ondo Private Markets on Oct. 6, offering eligible non-U.S. investors tokenized exposure to private companies with 24/7 secondary trading. The first product, tied to an unnamed pre-IPO AI company, is expected to begin trading this week. Holders receive economic exposure through notes, not actual shares or voting rights, and can trade them around the clock or hold in self-custody. The tokens are restricted to non-U.S. persons and are not registered under U.S. securities laws. Ondo plans future products in robotics, cybersecurity, biotech, infrastructure, defense, energy, and space. The launch builds on Ondo Stocks, which has over 450 tokenized stocks and ETFs with roughly $1.28 billion in TVL.

Ondo Finance launched Ondo Private Markets, a platform bringing private-company exposure onchain, starting with a pre-IPO AI firm. Tokenized notes, tied to per-share value at liquidity events, will begin secondary-market trading this week with 24/7 permissionless trading. The notes are not shares and carry no ownership rights, available only to eligible non-U.S. investors. The company aims to broaden access to private markets, noting that 87% of firms with over $100M in revenue are private. Future offerings will include robotics, cybersecurity, biotech, and infrastructure. This follows Ondo's partnership with SBI Holdings for tokenized Japanese equities. Ondo's platforms hold $3.7B in TVL, while tokenized equities exceed $42B in market cap, about 35% of the $121B tokenized-asset market.

Ondo Finance has launched Ondo Private Markets, offering tokenized notes that provide economic exposure to an unnamed pre-IPO artificial intelligence company. The notes, which can be held in self-custody wallets and traded on secondary markets 24/7, do not grant direct share ownership. The first notes are expected to begin trading this week, with future products tied to robotics, cybersecurity, biotech, and infrastructure companies. The move follows Ondo's existing tokenized stocks platform, which holds over $1 billion in total value locked and offers more than 450 tokenized stocks and ETFs. Other firms are also entering private markets, including Robinhood's venture fund investing in OpenAI stock and Citi reportedly developing a blockchain marketplace for private-company shares.

Ondo Finance's tokenized stock platform, Ondo Stocks, has reached a record $1.26 billion in total value locked (TVL). Launched in September 2025, the platform surpassed the $1 billion mark in mid-August 2026, before climbing to its current high. The platform offers tokenized exposure to US stocks and ETFs for non-US users, with tokens live on Solana, Ethereum, and BNB Chain. These tokens are used in leveraged trading and as collateral in lending markets. In September 2026, the SEC issued a five-year exemption for on-chain trading of certain NMS stocks, potentially enabling 24/7 trading. Ondo executives project TVL could reach $5 billion by the end of 2026, citing regulatory clarity and growing demand.
