Talos, a leading institutional digital asset trading technology provider, has integrated Ondo Finance's tokenized assets onto its platform. This partnership grants institutional clients outside the United States streamlined access to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), such as stocks and ETFs, via the cryptocurrency exchange Gate.io.
The integration allows banks, brokers, and asset managers across more than 30 countries to route orders through Talos's existing connection with Gate.io, providing immediate liquidity. This setup eliminates the need for institutions to onboard directly with Ondo, significantly lowering the barrier to entry. "Banks, brokers, and asset managers can now trade and manage tokenized assets as easily as any other institutional asset," stated Katie Wheeler, Managing Director of Global Partnerships at Ondo Finance.
Ondo Global Markets offers on-chain exposure to publicly traded U.S. assets across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain. The platform, which launched in September 2025, has already processed over $13 billion in trading volume and boasts a total value locked (TVL) exceeding $700 million. Assets are fully backed and trade 24/5, aligning with traditional market hours.
Drew Forman, SVP and Head of Strategy at Talos, emphasized the strong international demand for tokenized assets, noting that the integration addresses this directly by providing a unified interface. The companies plan a future direct API integration to further streamline access across trading, portfolio management, and risk systems, with goals to expand to more regions and platforms.
