Ondo Finance will launch its tokenized stock and ETF trading platform on the Solana blockchain early next year, expanding its growing catalog of real‑world assets to the fastest network. The platform will let users trade U.S. stocks and ETFs 24/7 via blockchain rails, with settlement in seconds. With roughly $365 million in tokenized assets, Ondo is the industry’s largest issuer; it followed its October BNB Chain expansion that reached 3.4 million daily users. The broader tokenized‑RWA market has more than doubled since August, approaching $700 million in total value locked, amid a regulatory tailwind after the SEC closed its investigation.

State Street Investment Management and Galaxy Asset Management are partnering with Ondo Finance to launch the State Street Galaxy Onchain Liquidity Sweep Fund (SWEEP). The fund will tokenise PayPal’s PYUSD and other sweep balances, enabling 24/7 on‑chain liquidity. Ondo will seed $200 million and use its RWA distribution network. SWEEP will debut on Solana in early 2026 and later expand to Stellar and Ethereum via Chainlink CCIP. The move joins BlackRock and Franklin Templeton in the race to define institutional on‑chain cash, positioning Solana as a preferred platform for high‑throughput tokenised assets.

Ondo Finance announced the SEC closed its year‑long probe with no charges, signaling a more crypto‑friendly stance. The inquiry, launched under the Biden administration, examined whether Ondo’s tokenized securities resembled regulated securities. Ondo says it cooperated fully and was not a justified target. The token, valued around $0.47, has dropped 77% from last year’s peak. The SEC has also dropped multiple investigations this year, and the current chair, Paul Atkins, has indicated a shift toward tokenization.

SEC closed its investigation into Ondo Finance over tokenized US Treasuries and ONDO token, with no charges, signaling a shift toward a more pro‑crypto stance. The closure removes regulatory uncertainty for Ondo and other tokenization firms, enabling expansion of operations, including its recent acquisition of Oasis Pro and plans for the Ondo Summit. The move reflects growing institutional interest in asset tokenization, following SEC's Investor Advisory Committee panel and the rise of tokenized Treasuries and equities as new on‑chain asset classes.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission closed a multi‑year probe of Ondo Finance without filing charges, a move the firm calls a major step for tokenized securities in the United States. The investigation, launched in 2024, examined whether Ondo’s tokenization of real‑world assets and its native ONDO token complied with federal securities laws, and the company said it fully cooperated throughout. The outcome signals a broader shift in Washington, with regulators re‑evaluating digital‑asset oversight and adding tokenization to the SEC’s formal agenda. Ondo says it will keep pushing innovation, compliance, and investor protection, and will outline its next roadmap phase at an upcoming summit in New York on Feb. 3 2026.

The SEC ended its 2023 investigation of New York‑based tokenization firm Ondo Finance, determining that the platform’s tokenization of real‑world assets and its ONDO token did not violate federal securities law and closing the probe without charges. Ondo said the decision reflects a broader shift in U.S. policy toward real‑world asset tokenization and signals a new phase where tokenized securities become integral to U.S. capital markets. The platform had recently received EU regulatory approval and remains uncertain about offering services to U.S. clients.

Ondo Finance’s native ONDO token rose after the SEC announced it had closed a confidential investigation into the company’s real‑world asset tokenization platform, with no charges filed. The move lifts regulatory uncertainty for tokenized securities and has pushed ONDO above $0.48, up nearly 6% in 24 hours, as the new SEC chair promotes tokenization as a market innovation.

The RWA market is easing from a sluggish November as stablecoin experiments and technical set‑ups generate fresh interest. Three tokens—Stellar (XLM), Quant (QNT) and Ondo (ONDO)—stand out for December’s trading action. Stellar, a payments‑focused chain used by major banks, fell 18.9% in November but rebounded 4.9% in the last week. A bullish RSI divergence and a tight $0.253–$0.264 range suggest a potential upside to $0.275 or $0.324 if the market lifts, while a drop below $0.239 could push the price toward $0.217. Quant has led the group with a 32% monthly gain and a 37% rise in the last seven days. A pending 20‑day EMA crossover over the 50‑day EMA could drive the price past $119 and up to $142; support levels lie at $100, $91 and a deeper break below $82 would end the uptrend. Ondo’s weekly climb of 9.3% masks a 30‑day decline. Recent announcements of tokenised U.S. stocks and ETFs in Europe, combined with an OBV breakout, keep the price in a $0.50–$0.54 range. A clear close above $0.54 could lift the token to $0.60 or $0.70, but a reversal could test support at $0.44.

Ondo Global Markets has secured approval from the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority to launch tokenized stocks and ETFs across the European Union and the European Economic Area. This move enables the company to offer regulated on‑chain exposure to U.S. markets to more than 500 million investors in 30 European countries. The approval is granted under Liechtenstein’s MiCA implementation, which provides passporting rights that extend throughout the EEA. The company highlighted that this framework aligns with established investor‑protection standards. The decision comes amid broader EU debates on the scope of supervisory authority for crypto‑asset service providers, as regulators consider designating the European Securities and Markets Authority as a central regulator.

Ondo Finance appointed Chainlink as the official oracle provider to supply price feeds for its 100+ tokenized equities and ETFs, aiming to improve cross‑chain data accuracy. The partnership will use Chainlink’s CCIP to standardize institutional movements of tokenized assets across blockchains, with testing by Swift and DTCC. Ondo, now on 10 chains including BNB Chain, offers U.S. equities exposure to non‑U.S. investors, and will join Chainlink’s corporate actions initiative alongside other financial firms.
