Ondo Global Markets to List 200+ Tokenized Stocks on Solana
Wall Street meets blockchain—and the old guard should be sweating.
Ondo Global Markets just dropped a bombshell: over two hundred traditional stocks are getting tokenized on Solana. This isn't just another crypto experiment. It's a full-scale invasion of traditional finance territory, executed on one of the fastest, cheapest chains in the game.
Why This Cuts Through the Noise
Forget clunky, hours-long settlements and sky-high intermediary fees. Tokenization on Solana means these assets trade 24/7, settle in seconds, and open global markets to anyone with an internet connection. It bypasses the legacy plumbing that has propped up financial incumbents for decades. Suddenly, owning a slice of a Fortune 500 company looks as simple as swapping a token—no broker, no minimums, no three-day wait.
The Solana Edge
Ondo didn't pick Solana by accident. The network's blistering speed and negligible transaction costs make it the only viable rails for this kind of mass-market, high-frequency asset class. Ethereum's gas fees would eat retail investors alive; Solana makes micro-transactions and fractional ownership not just possible, but practical. It's the infrastructure play that finally makes real-world asset (RWA) tokenization feel inevitable, not just theoretical.
A New Era of Accessibility—And Scrutiny
Democratizing access is the sunny-side headline. The flip side? Unprecedented transparency. Every trade, every holder is on a public ledger. Try hiding your shady offshore shell company in that. For regulators, it's a dream data trove. For traditional finance's middlemen, it's an existential threat wrapped in a cryptographic bow.
The move signals a massive vote of confidence in Solana's capacity to handle serious financial volume. It also throws down a gauntlet to every other chain and traditional exchange. The race to tokenize everything—stocks, bonds, real estate—just hit hyperdrive.
One cynical finance jab? The same institutions now tokenizing stocks probably spent the last five years calling crypto a scam. Funny how innovation works when there's a new, more efficient revenue stream to tap.
Buckle up. The wall between crypto and traditional finance isn't just crumbling—it's being actively dismantled, token by token.
Ondo brings mainstream liquidity to Solana
Ondo’s tokenized assets are different in that they can tap the liquidity of the world’s largest exchanges, NASDAQ and NYSE. The tokenized assets do not rely on small liquidity pools, which usually support only a handful of active assets.
Solana will gain exposure to TradFi, offering institutional-grade RWA trading. The shift arrives just as other crypto projects are seeking ways to offer stock and metal trading, using their on-chain technology to tap trends outside of crypto.
Tokenized assets are easy to create, but Ondo solves the issue of liquidity, bringing real volumes while using Solana as the rails for trading. Ondo chose Solana for its high-performance chain, offering seamless performance and wider access.
Ian De Bode, President of ONDO Finance, said:
“We’re excited to bring hundreds of onchain securities with Wall Street liquidity to Solana’s thriving ecosystem. For the first time, Solana users can rest assured that they can buy tokenized stocks in size at brokerage prices, giving them peace of mind when trading onchain. Ondo Global Markets’ liquidity model enables it to launch with hundreds of assets live on day one, with thousands more to come.”
Ondo Global Markets has already launched on ethereum and BNB Chain at the end of 2025. The platform taps into international interest in US stocks and has surpassed $460M in total value locked and $6.8B in cumulative trading volume.
