Ondo Finance and Alpaca collaborate to tokenize US stocks and ETFs; bridging traditional finance and on-chain markets, increasing access to high-quality assets.

According to a McKinsey report, the tokenized market capitalization could reach around $2 trillion by 2030 across a variety of asset classes. This expected rise in market demand for tokenized assets, like US stocks and ETFs, comes as global investors continue to face barriers, including strict market access rules, high minimums, and cumbersome settlement processes. The collaboration between Ondo and Alpaca aims to remove these barriers.

100+ Assets Live, 1,000+ Coming – Leading tokenized stocks and ETFs are now available, with plans to scale to 1,000+ by year-end
Transferable 24/7 – Tokenized stocks and ETFs are transferable peer-to-peer and available 24/7/365 where allowed
Deep Liquidity – Global Markets provides access similar to traditional exchange liquidity for on-chain investors
Usable in DeFi – Ondo assets behave like stablecoins for ease of use and automation, enabling tokenized stocks to be used in DeFi
Industry Backing – Ondo tokenized stocks are fully backed by US stocks and ETFs which are held in custody by US broker-dealers and independent security agents

Available now across qualified Asia-Pacific, African, and Latin American markets, Ondo Global Markets is providing access to over 100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs, with plans to increase to over 1,000 assets available by the end of the year.

“Global investors have historically faced barriers to accessing the approximately $63 trillion US securities markets due to high fees, limited access, transfer frictions, platform fragmentation, and geographic exclusions, locking millions out of capital markets,” says Ian De Bode, Chief Strategy Officer at Ondo Finance. “Working with Alpaca allows us to tokenize US stocks and ETFs with the speed, accessibility, and programmability of blockchain for these global investors.”

"The future of finance lies in bridging traditional and decentralized markets," says Yoshi Yokokawa, CEO and Co-Founder of Alpaca. "Ondo reflects that, and Alpaca is dedicated to enabling this transformation globally with the infrastructure that makes it possible."

This collaboration highlights the ongoing evolution of the financial landscape, where technology may make certain investment opportunities more globally accessible. Ondo Global Markets is currently available on Ethereum, with Solana and BNB Chain launching soon.
