Ondo Global Markets is expanding its tokenized U.S. stock and ETF offerings to the BNB Chain, a move that aims to bring real-world assets (RWAs) to a broader audience of blockchain users. This integration allows BNB Chain's over 3.4 million daily active users, especially in regions like Asia and Latin America, to access tokenized equities that mirror the economic returns of underlying U.S. securities, such as Apple stock and various ETFs.
The tokenized assets are fully backed by regulated broker-dealers in the United States, ensuring compliance and investor protection. Users can mint and redeem tokens 24/5 through Ondo's platform, while secondary trading is available 24/7 on supported blockchains, providing global investors with continuous exposure to U.S. markets via DeFi infrastructure.
According to data from RWA.xyz, the overall tokenized securities market has nearly doubled since August, climbing toward $700 million in total value locked (TVL). Ondo Global Markets, which launched in September 2025, has already accumulated around $320 million in TVL, positioning it as one of the leading platforms in this sector. The expansion leverages BNB Chain's high transaction throughput, low fees, and strong regional presence to scale RWA adoption among users with limited access to traditional brokerage platforms.
This move highlights the accelerating convergence of traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi), as tokenization democratizes access to U.S. financial products. It also reinforces BNB Chain's role as a hub for RWA initiatives, following other tokenization efforts in 2025, and places Ondo in competition with projects like Backed and Kraken's xStocks on the same network.
