ONDO Finance Makes Strategic Move with Acquisition of SEC-Regulated Oasis Pro to Boost Tokenized Securities in U.S.

ONDO Finance has finalized an agreement to acquire Oasis Pro, a regulated brokerage platform, in a strategic push to bring tokenized stocks to the U.S. market. This acquisition provides ONDO with key securities licenses, including broker-dealer, Alternative Trading System (ATS), and transfer agent status under SEC oversight.

Tokenization companies are aggressively targeting regulated entities to leverage growing institutional interest in blockchain-based securities. The technology offers advantages such as faster settlements, 24/7 market access, and programmable financial instruments. Industry reports from Ripple, BCG, and Standard Chartered project tokenized assets could reach trillions in value within the next decade.

Oasis Pro CEO Pat LaVecchia highlighted the synergy: "This merger combines our regulatory framework with Ondo's institutional-grade products to create a compliant tokenized securities ecosystem." The deal follows similar moves by firms like Archax and Prometheum, underscoring a broader trend of traditional finance integrating with blockchain infrastructure.
